In Conversation Mode, Mia can tell you today's news and what's going on in the world.
In a spoken conversation you cannot skim, so a long answer takes the listener's time. Mia gives you the key points first, says more only when you ask, and hands the conversation back to you. This article shows how she answers, with videos of real conversations in English.
Before you start
Conversation Mode needs a Conversation Model and the Premium service (300 yen a month). See What is Mia's Conversation Mode? for details.
Supported models
| Model | Supported |
|---|---|
| Conversation Model | Yes (Premium service required) |
| Standard Model | No (it has no Conversation Mode) |
What Mia can do
- When you ask for today's news, she looks it up online and gives you the key points
- When you say "tell me more", she goes on, then asks "Do you want to hear more about it?"
- When you ask how to do something, she answers in two or three sentences and asks if you want more
- Everyday questions, like the weather, get a one-sentence answer
- She tells a story all the way through, and stops when you touch her head
There is nothing to set up. Just talk to her in Conversation Mode as usual.
Today's news: the key points first
Ask "What's the news today?" and Mia says "Let me look that up," then searches the web for the day's news.
Her answer is short: two stories, one sentence each. In the video below, recorded in November 2026, she named a summit in China and peace talks that were about to start, in about ten seconds.
You don't have to sit through a whole news program. With Mia, you hear the key points whenever you want, and decide for yourself whether to hear more.
Say "tell me more" and she goes on
When you want to know more, say "Tell me more about this news." Mia looks it up again and goes into detail: in the video, where and when the summit would be held, who was expected to attend, and what they might talk about.
Even then, she does not say everything at once. After about five sentences, she asks, "Do you want to hear more about it?"
- If you want more: say "Yes," and she continues
- If that's enough: say "No, thanks," or talk about something else, and she stops there
People break up what they say while watching the listener's face. Mia cannot see your face, so she hands the conversation back at each break and lets you decide.
Change the subject anytime
In the same conversation, after "No, thanks," the question was "So, by the way, how do I go fishing?" Mia dropped the news and answered:
"Well, for fishing, you'll want to get yourself some basic gear like a rod, reel, and some bait or lures. Also, it's a good idea to find a spot where fish are likely to be, like near some cover or where the water changes depth. Would you like to hear more about it?"
Two sentences, about 15 seconds, and then the turn comes back to you. If you say yes, what you want next, gear, places or kinds of fish, comes out in your reply, and Mia only has to talk about that. You get the information in the order you want, and as far as you want.
Everyday questions get a one-sentence answer
For a quick question, Mia keeps it to a sentence. Ask "Good morning, Mia. What's the weather like today?" and she says, "Good morning, Kazukun. It's a bit rainy today, with the high around 12°C."
Mia calls you by the name set in the app. You can ask other everyday questions the same way, like "How tall is Mt. Fuji?", without picking up your phone.
Stories go to the end, and a touch on her head stops her
You can also ask Mia to tell you a story. Being asked "Shall I go on?" again and again would spoil a story, so she tells it all the way through.
If you want her to stop, touch her head. She stops talking, even mid-sentence.
How long Mia's answers are
Mia changes the length of her answer to fit what you asked.
| What you ask | How Mia answers |
|---|---|
| An everyday question (the weather, a height, a name) | One or two sentences |
| The news | A couple of stories, one sentence each |
| How to do something | Two or three sentences, then "Would you like to hear more?" |
| More detail | About five or six sentences, then "Do you want to hear more?" |
| A story | All the way through (touch her head to stop) |
If she is hard to follow, you can also change her speaking speed from 0.8x to 1.2x in the app.
If you use the Standard Model
This feature is for the Conversation Model only. The Standard Model plays recorded phrases and family voice messages at set times, and has no Conversation Mode where you talk to Mia and she answers. Weather announcements work on the Standard Model too.
With the Conversation Model, you touch Mia's head and speak to her, and she tells you today's news and answers your questions.
