Denny
Compatible glasses can work with Denny on an Android phone for a live voice conversation. The phone runs the app and the selected voice service.
What you need
- Compatible glasses and an Android phone. Tell AFTEAM the exact glasses model, Android version and Denny version so support can check your combination.
- An up-to-date Denny APK and the appropriate license. Existing Android owners can request their APK and updates through AFTEAM support. New Android sales are being prepared. The personal Android assistant is separate from the Mac-only Denny Agents.
- The manufacturer’s setup. Ray-Ban Meta setup uses a compatible smartphone, the Meta AI app, a Meta account, Bluetooth and internet. Check your model’s requirements in Ray-Ban’s official guide.
- Voice conversation configured in Denny. Try it on the phone before adding the glasses. A cloud voice service needs internet and access to the selected provider; its terms and charges are separate.
The current Denny Mac build is available through support. Availability of an app license and compatibility with a particular pair of glasses are separate checks.
1. Set up the glasses in Meta AI
Complete the manufacturer’s pairing process first. For the Ray-Ban Meta case-based method described in the official guide, dock the glasses in the case and hold the rear button for at least five seconds, until the indicator flashes blue. Then follow the Meta AI app. Use your exact model’s official instructions if its process differs.
This pairs the glasses with the phone and Meta AI; the Denny connection is a separate step.
2. Connect the glasses in Denny
- Open Denny’s settings. Look for the Meta glasses setting under Devices. The location depends on the installed version.
- Choose Connect. Grant Bluetooth or nearby-device access if Android requests it.
- Complete the app’s connection prompts. If registration or confirmation is requested, follow the steps shown on the phone.
- Wait for a successful status. A message saying Bluetooth permission is still needed means the connection is not ready.
Pairing in Android’s system settings does not by itself confirm the Denny connection. If an error remains, use the troubleshooting table below. Menu names here are described in English; your installed build may use Russian labels or a different layout.
3. Try a live conversation
- Check the voice settings. Open the Voice and voice-conversation options and make sure your chosen service is configured.
- Open Live dialogue and choose Start. Allow microphone access when requested and check that the microphone is enabled on the conversation screen.
- Say a short request. For example: “Denny, suggest three things to do this evening.” First test a simple reply so you can check sound and recognition separately.
- Check where the reply is heard. Confirm that sound comes through the glasses and that your speech is recognised. If it comes from the phone, check the selected audio device and connection status.
- End the conversation on its screen. Return to the glasses’ connection status if sound or the microphone behaved unexpectedly.
EXAMPLE REQUEST
“I’m walking home and have half an hour before dinner. I need to reply to an email, water the plants and unpack the shopping. Where should I start?”
This is an example request, not a recording of a physical test. If you ask to save a task or reminder, check the result and time inside the app.
What to use voice conversation for
Talk through an idea, organise a few tasks or formulate a note when you prefer to keep the phone in your pocket. Specific actions depend on your Denny build and conversation mode.
| Scenario | What to check |
|---|---|
| Voice conversation | Glasses compatibility, connection status, microphone and voice-service setup. |
| A note or reminder after talking | Whether the selected mode supports it and whether the item appears in the right place with the correct time. |
| Local text chat | This uses a model downloaded in advance. It does not automatically make every voice conversation work offline. |
| Photos, camera and image analysis | These are not implied by a voice connection. Check their availability separately for your glasses and app version. |
Denny and the glasses’ built-in Meta AI are different assistants. Denny is an AFTEAM product and is not a Meta or Ray-Ban product.
Connection or sound not working?
| What you see | What to try |
|---|---|
| No Meta glasses setting | Check the APK version with support. This setting belongs to personal Denny on Android, not Denny Agents for Mac. |
| Waiting for Bluetooth permission | Check Denny’s permissions in Android settings, return to the app and retry after granting the requested access. |
| A connection error or no successful status | Check the manufacturer’s setup. Send support the exact error, glasses model, Android version and Denny version. |
| The reply comes from the phone | Check the glasses’ status inside Denny and Android’s selected audio output. Test one short reply first. |
| Denny cannot hear you | Check microphone permission and its state on the Live dialogue screen. Compare with a conversation through the phone’s microphone. |
| The glasses connect but conversation does not start | Check internet and voice-service settings. The glasses connection and the AI reply are separate stages. |
Tell support which step failed and what status appeared. Keep passwords, API keys and login codes out of the report.
Frequently asked questions
Do I still need the phone?
Yes. In this workflow, Denny runs on the Android phone. The glasses are not a standalone installed copy of Denny.
Will conversation work without internet?
Cloud live conversation needs internet. Local text AI is a separate feature; speech recognition and speech output must be checked independently. Start with the offline text guide.
Can I use Denny on an iPhone?
This guide covers Android. The personal iPhone version is in development.
Does every Ray-Ban Meta model work?
No universal compatibility is promised. Ask AFTEAM about your exact glasses model and APK. Compatibility with the manufacturer’s app and with Denny are separate questions.
Do I need Denny Agents?
No. This workflow uses personal Denny on Android. Denny Agents is a separate Mac product with free and full editions and its own license.
