DIANA AI Using Diana
Help
Everything here is also in the glasses: open the hand menu and choose Help: signs + speech.
Getting started
- Put the glasses on and launch Diana. She starts listening and shows a single mark at the edge of your view.
- Just talk. There is no wake word and no button to hold. Speak the way you would to a person.
- Open the hand menu to reach controls, your notes, help and settings.
- Grant only what you want. Decline a permission and the skills that need it will tell you they cannot help — nothing else breaks.
What she answers without the network
These are computed on the glasses. They are exact, they cost nothing, and they keep working when the connection is poor — which is precisely when you tend to ask them.
- what's 12 times 8?
- convert 5 miles to kilometres
- count from 1 to 20 by 2
- spell the word rhythm
- what time is it?
- what's my battery?
- turn the volume up
- set a timer for 10 minutes
- remind me in 5 minutes to stretch
- will this work right now
- what can I say
- what can my hand do
What she needs a connection for
- what's the weather?
- where am I?
- find coffee near me
- search the web for otters
- what do you see?
- read my screen
- how do I make a negroni?
- play some jazz
- tell me about Fukuoka
When the link is down, Diana says so rather than guessing. If she ever answers something she could not actually check, that is a bug — please report it.
Notes and reminders
Say "take a note…" or "remember that I like green tea" and Diana writes it to the glasses. Open View notes in the hand menu to read them back — no account, no cable, no sign-in.
Reminders further than a day out ring with the device's own alarm tone and survive a reboot, so they still reach you if Diana is not running.
Hand signs
Signs let you answer without speaking — useful in a quiet room or on a street. Hold each shape steady for a moment; the help card shows a live counter as she recognises it. Hand tracking is processed on the glasses and is not sent anywhere.
| What you want | How |
|---|---|
| Open or close the controls | The menu sign |
| Show this help | The H sign |
| Mute or unmute her | The mic sign |
| Take a shot | The shoot sign |
| Close or dismiss a card | The back sign |
Silent mode
Silent mode turns Diana into a typed conversation: she stops speaking aloud and you type instead. It is the right mode for a train, a meeting, or anywhere you would rather not be heard talking to your glasses.
Troubleshooting
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Offline | No usable connection. Local skills still work; ask her "will this work right now". |
| Not responding — reconnecting | The link stalled and she is re-establishing it. This is common when the device is hot and Wi-Fi throttles. |
| She hears nothing | The microphone may be muted — check the mic line in the hand menu. |
| She cannot see | The camera permission was declined, or the camera is off in the menu. |
| She will not read your screen | The accessibility service is off by default. Switch it on in Android settings → Accessibility. |
| She gets slow and warm | The device is thermally throttled. Performance recovers as it cools; charging while running makes it worse. |
Languages
Diana answers in the language you speak to her, and you can lock her to one language from the hand menu. Japanese is a launch focus; the interface is being translated with native review, so parts of the chrome may still appear in English while that review completes.
