Getting Started

Agora is an Android BYOK client: you provide a model provider, credentials, and model selection.

Install

Install from F-Droid, Google Play, or a GitHub release. Features can differ by distribution; notably, the integrated Alpine sandbox is available in the F-Droid flavor.

First setup

1. Open the conversation drawer and select Settings.
2. Open Providers, choose a provider, and add its API key and optional base URL.
3. Open Models, sync provider models, and enable the models you want to use.
4. Return to a conversation and select a model in the bottom bar.
5. Send a message.

Requests go directly to the endpoint configured for the selected provider. Review Providers, Models, and Privacy & Security.

Build from source

The current project targets Android SDK 36 and uses the repository build workflow with JDK 21. Android Studio and the required Android SDK/NDK components must be installed. Follow the repository instructions and use the root build scripts rather than assuming an older SDK/JDK baseline.

Optional setup

• Configure context and Compact under Context.
• Enable external tools under Agentic Tools.
• Import a GGUF model under Local Models.
• Configure language and appearance under Appearance and Language.
