Easily select, start, and manage your preferred AI digital assistants on Android.

SwitchAI – Android AI Assistant Switcher

What it is – SwitchAI is an Android application that lets you pick, launch, and set a default among the many AI‑powered digital‑assistant apps you have installed (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Alexa, etc.). It provides a Material 3‑styled selector UI, home‑screen widgets and Quick‑Settings tiles, so you can change the active assistant with a single tap.

Key features

  • Assistant selector – Choose which assistant handles the system‑wide “digital assistant” intent each time you invoke it.
  • Quick switching – One‑tap widgets or Quick‑Settings tiles let you launch the chosen assistant or open the selector without opening the full app.
  • Voice input support – Works with assistants that accept voice commands, enabling hands‑free use.
  • Broad compatibility – Recognises over 40 popular AI assistant apps (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, etc.) by launching them via their package/class names.
  • Material 3 design – Modern, expressive UI that follows Android’s latest design guidelines.
  • Default‑assistant setting – Option to set the selected app as the device’s system default for the digital‑assistant feature.

How it works

  1. Install SwitchAI from the GitHub release page (or via the provided Telegram link).
  2. Install any of the supported AI assistant apps from the Play Store.
  3. Open SwitchAI; it scans installed packages and lists the supported assistants.
  4. Tap an assistant to set it as the current one, or use the widget/Quick‑Settings tile for rapid access.
  5. If you try to launch an assistant that isn’t installed, SwitchAI shows an error and offers a link to install it.
