Your first conversation.

There is nothing to set up. This page is how IRIS actually behaves, so the first time feels right: what makes her speak, how long she takes, and why she stays quiet.

The 30-second version.

Start the 3-day free trial in the app and everything is switched on. No keys, nothing to set up.

  1. Open IRIS and put the glasses onThe phone goes back in your pocket. Everything you need shows on the lens.
  2. Tap StartIRIS begins listening to the conversation around you. That is a session.
  3. Just talkWhen she has something useful, an answer, a fact, a good question to ask, it appears on your lens. When she does not, she stays quiet.

How answers appear.

This is the part that surprises people. She is not a chatbot that replies to everything; she speaks up only when it helps.

Someone asks, she answersA factual question from the other person puts the answer on your lens. Statements and chit-chat do not trigger her; a real question does.
A few seconds, not instantShe waits to hear the whole question, then thinks. The answer lands a few seconds after the person finishes speaking, not while they are still talking.
Quiet on purposeDuring ordinary back-and-forth she shows nothing, so she never distracts you. No cue means nothing worth interrupting for, not a failure.
On the lens: a speech-bubble icon, then: The Q3 budget closed at 1.2M, up 9% on last year - the vendor line is where nearly all of the growth came from. Below it, what was just said: can someone remind me, so what did q3 actually close at in the end.

A real IRIS render at the lens’s own 576 by 288. The line at the bottom is what was just said; the answer above it arrived a few seconds later.

What you’ll see on the lens.

While IRIS listens, a small aperture sits in the corner of the lens. When a cue arrives, a picture of what kind of cue it is takes the aperture’s place, right in front of the first word.

ListeningIRIS is recording. It turns while she hears you, holds still in silence, and closes when you pause. A solid circle means nothing is coming through right now; the lens says why.
AnswerSomething to say, often the answer to a question just asked.
Follow-upA question you could ask next.
ExplainWhat a term, name or idea means.
Fact-checkA claim just made, checked.
ShareSomething of yours worth bringing up.
AdviceA nudge on what to do next.
RecapWhere the conversation stands.
FlawA weak spot in the argument just made.
Your agentYour connected agent wrote this. A reply under its name shows the name in brackets.
[ ]A name in bracketsThe result of a quick action you ran, under its name, next to the aperture.
On the lens: a tick icon, then: Close - the round was $40M, not $60M, and it closed in early 2024. Checked live. Below it, what was just said.

A real IRIS render at the lens’s own 576 by 288: the tick marks a fact-check.

Pick a mode for what you are doing.

A mode is how IRIS decides when to speak up. Tap the mode name before you start, with the ring on the glasses or on the phone. Three come built in, each with a line under its name saying what it is for; you can edit them or make your own.

ConversationFor meetings, calls and back-and-forth talk. Answers the questions people ask, offers a tactful correction if something is clearly wrong, and suggests a good follow-up.
ListeningFor when one person is opening up to you: a friend, a partner, someone in your family. Gentle follow-up questions and support, and quiet the rest of the time. In a meeting use Conversation; in a lecture or class, Study.
StudyFor lectures, classes, talks and going over study material. She defines terms, identifies names she hears, answers the questions the speaker poses, and never tells you to say anything.

Running a meeting Q&A.

The exact flow for “people ask me things and I want to answer well”.

  1. Choose Conversation, tap StartThe mode built for questions and answers.
  2. Let the question finishShe answers the whole question, not a half-heard one.
  3. Glance at your lens a few seconds laterThe answer appears with an ANSWER label. Read it, then say it in your own words.
  4. Between questions, she restsNo cue during discussion is normal. She is back the moment another question lands.
  5. Afterwards, open the sessionA full summary and the questions that came up, ready for the follow-up email.

Speaking to a bigger room, where questions come at the end? That is Audience Q&A: the room asks and votes from their own phones at eveniris.com/join, and the question they most want answered sits on your lens.

Ask her yourself, with the ring.

She answers on her own, but you can also make her answer on demand. Two gestures, depending on whether a session is running.

During a conversation: scroll up, tap Answer thatScroll up on the ring to open your actions and tap Answer that. She answers on your lens from what she just heard. Reword it, or add your own, under Settings, Modes, Quick actions.
When nothing is recording: the Ask tileProOn the lens hub, scroll to Ask, tap, and say your question. Tap to ask another, double-tap to close. Turn the hub on under Settings, The lens and Home, Advanced.
Either way, she can reach live informationPrices, scores, who currently holds a title: answered from a fresh web lookup, with the sources listed so you can check them.

If nothing appeared on your lens.

Almost always it is one of these, and almost always it is working as intended.

I talked and no answer came up
Most likely nobody asked a factual question. She stays silent during statements and small talk on purpose. Have someone ask a clear question, “what year was that?”, and watch the lens a few seconds later.
She did not respond the instant I spoke
Expected. She waits for the full question and then thinks, so the answer lands a few seconds after the speaker finishes.
I want her to help me talk to my kid casually
Casual chat is mostly small talk, so Conversation mode stays quiet. Switch to Listening for gentle follow-up suggestions, or use Ask whenever you want to ask her something directly.
Do I need to set anything up?
No. Open the app and start the 3-day free trial; Pro includes the AI and speech recognition. Or paste your own keys and use IRIS free.
