❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Upon initial launch, my computer experiences performance degradation, and AI responses seem unusual.
A: Desktop Maid undergoes a local AI model download process upon its first launch. This process takes approximately 5 minutes, during which your system's performance may temporarily degrade, or AI responses might be unstable. The application will function normally once the model download is complete.
Q: My character is displayed as "Offline," preventing conversation.
A: The circular icon located at the bottom right of the character's profile picture indicates the character's online/offline status. Please click this icon to switch the character to "Online" status, which will enable the conversation feature.
📝 Feedback Collection and Future Improvement Plan:
Since our official launch, we have received valuable feedback regarding bug reports and improvement suggestions from numerous users. We are diligently reviewing all such feedback and are committed to promptly addressing and implementing improvements to optimize the app's stability and user experience. Your precious input is immensely helpful for the advancement of Desktop Maid. We will provide detailed updates on identified issues in a separate announcement soon.
Sincerely,
Studio Deffault
