Devices & remote access
Android projects, chats & approvals
Use your phone to read synchronized projects and results and respond to pending approvals.
Before you begin#
Install the Android version provided by MATLOOK Agent and use the same account as the desktop. Complete desktop synchronization first. The phone is primarily a remote companion; the owning computer executes work.
Daily workflow#
- Select a computer and workspace at the top.
- Choose New project and enter its name, or open an existing project. Choose New conversation to start a task, or continue an existing conversation.
- Read results and expand process details if needed. Use return-to-latest after browsing older messages.
- Send additional instructions, or inspect a tool/plan request before allowing, rejecting or providing feedback.
- Check the acknowledgment and updated conversation state. Avoid duplicate submissions during delays.
Creating projects and conversations#
Confirm the owning computer and workspace before creating. Projects and conversations are saved on that computer and inherit workspace model, permission and project-directory settings. Successful creation opens the project or chat. You can wait in the background and reopen creation progress. If a reply is lost, retry confirmation of the same request instead of creating again. Restore synchronization or update the server and computer when the workspace is unavailable, offline or too old.
Capability boundaries#
Android does not provide the complete desktop environment. Do not assume desktop-equivalent attachment upload or original-file access; use the desktop for these tasks. Offline history remains readable, but new commands cannot execute.
System push#
Check the important-event notification toggle in the account area and allow Android notifications. Delivery also depends on server and device-vendor push configuration. Open the conversation if a notification is missing rather than treating that absence as task failure.
Completion check#
You are viewing the correct computer and conversation; an approval causes the expected target-side state change. Inspect file deliverables on a device that can access the originals.
