Manage Modules
Your installed modules — which one each feature uses, turning features and modules on and off, presets, labels, updates and configurations.
Configuration → Manage Modules lists every module you have installed, grouped by the feature it provides: Speech Transcription, Voice, Chat Replies, Computer Vision, Image Generation, Memory and so on. Install more with Add Modules, top right.
What a chat needs
- Chat Replies — the LLM that writes replies. Always on.
- Voice — speaks the replies.
- Speech Transcription — turns your voice into text.
Action Inference, Summarization, Decisions and Assistants use the Chat Replies module unless you point them somewhere else. They are not listed on this page; see Action Inference, Summarization and Decisions.
Choosing the module a feature uses
Each feature uses one module at a time. There is no priority order: you pick it.
- A collapsed feature shows its modules as pills. The lit one is in use; click another to switch. The gear opens that module's settings. Add Module opens Add Modules for that feature.
- Expand a feature to see a card per module, with a radio button and an Active badge on the one in use.
- Audio Input, Audio Output, Audio Pipeline, Vision Capture and Wake Word can use several modules at once, so they have checkboxes instead.
A module you add becomes the one in use for the features it provides, in your current configuration. A few modules only take a feature that has no module yet, so they don't replace your choice.
Turning things off
- A feature — the toggle on its header. Chat Replies, Memory, Cloud Storage and the audio input, output and pipeline have no toggle: they are always on.
- A module — ··· → Enabled. A disabled module stays installed and configured but isn't used. In a feature's list, the module in use can't be disabled; pick another one first.
- Delete — ··· → Delete uninstalls the module and every feature it provides. Built-in modules show a lock instead.
Settings, presets and labels
- Configure opens the module's settings, with Test, Reinstall or Upgrade, and export/import of the settings.
- Presets appears on Chat Replies, Computer Vision, Image Generation, Video Generation, 3D Animation Generation and Portrait Animation modules. A preset is a named set of settings for that module; each configuration picks one.
- To run the same module twice with different settings (two accounts, two servers), use Add another on its card in Add Modules. Give each an Optional Label in its settings to tell them apart.
Finding modules
Categorized groups by feature; Flat lists each module once. Filter by feature or search. A search also lists matching modules you haven't installed, under Available Modules.
Updates
Cards show Install Required or Update Available, with an Upgrade button. Administrators also get Upgrade All (Reinstall All when nothing is pending), which checks every module for updates and installs missing dependencies.
At startup, migrations that need your attention, module updates and a new Voxta release show as steps of one window, with Next and Done. Closing it skips what's left until the next launch. See Module updates after upgrading.
Action Inference, Summarization and Decisions
These are set in the right panel's Services tab (shift+alt+s in a chat). It lists each feature that has an installed module, the module it uses, and an on/off toggle. Open a row to change its module and preset.
- Action Inference, Summarization and Text Generation (Assistants) have Use Chat Replies settings on by default: they follow the module and preset Chat Replies uses. Turn it off to give one its own.
- Decisions offers None (use Action Inference), Same as Action Inference, or a module with its own decision model. See Decisions.
Install new features at the bottom of the list opens Add Modules.
Configurations
A configuration is a saved setup: which module each feature uses, their presets, and what is on or off. Manage Modules and the right panel edit the one currently selected.
- Switch from Configuration → Configurations, or the Configuration row at the top of the right panel. You can't switch during a chat.
- Create New Configuration copies the current one and switches to it. Edit shows it as a canvas, as cards or as JSON.
- A character or scenario can Force Configuration in its settings. A chat uses the scenario's, then the character's, then your selected one.
Keep a "Local" and a "Cloud" configuration, for example, and swap your whole stack in one click.
