Session mission

Start with a clear, well-lit question. Configure the mission before enabling automatic analysis.

Speak one whole answer, then wait for your hand signal before the next question's answer. A dark hold repeats the whole current answer.

Show a relaxed open palm toward the camera for the hand hold time. Remove it for at least one second before signaling again. View shows the hold progress.

Connect to inspect assistant status.
