Workflows and apps

Control your PC from your phone or the web

Link a PC that runs Oppermind Desktop, watch its live screen, choose who is driving, approve what the agent does, and read the audit log.

What remote access is

Once Oppermind Desktop is installed on a PC and This computer is authorized, that PC is reachable from any device you are signed in on: the web, your phone, another PC. Choose Desktop co-pilot from the mode chip and the panel shows the linked PC, its activity, its live screen and what it can do. If the PC is off, the panel says PC is offline: open Oppermind Desktop on your PC.

The co-pilot panel before a PC is linked.
Try this
On your phone: mode chip → Desktop co-pilot.
What you getThe co-pilot panel opens. With no PC linked it offers Link a PC or using this PC on the same network.

Link a PC

Link a PC gives you a pairing code. On the PC, install Oppermind Desktop and choose Authorize this computer under This computer; the app links the PC to the same account. A standalone agent can be paired by pasting the two values into its pairing window instead. Rename this PC gives it a friendly name; a PC can be unlinked from the same panel.

Pairing: the code on the phone, the authorization on the PC.
Try this
Link a PC → Get a pairing code. On the PC: Desktop settings → Authorize this computer.
What you getThe panel reads Paired, then connects to the PC by name.

Live screen and who is driving

Live Screen streams the PC's screen: Start stream and Stop stream. The switch decides who is driving. Lato driving means the agent runs tasks on its own while you watch. Manual means remote desktop only: the agent is suspended, and a click on the screen gives you keyboard control of the PC.

Live screen with the driving switch.
Try this
Open Live Screen, Start stream, switch to Manual and click into the screen.
What you getYou see the PC live and can type on it; switch back to Lato driving to hand a task to the agent.

Permissions and the audit log

Activity shows what the agent is doing step by step. Before a consequential action it asks: Permission requested, with the action and a risk level, and Approve or Deny. Cost shows what the session has used. Audit log keeps every action and decision so you can read afterwards what happened on the PC and who allowed it.

Activity with a permission waiting for you.
Try this
Ask: Open our accounting desktop app, go to Reports, and export the August aged debtors report to my desktop.
What you getThe activity feed shows each step; a file_write permission asks before the export is saved; the audit log records the run.

Pause, stop and keep it deliberate

Control lives on the PC too. Desktop settings has Pause control, which keeps the link but stops the agent acting, and Stop agent, which disconnects remote access entirely. Existing agent permissions govern what Lato can do; grant new ones only for the task in front of you. Start with reversible tasks and read the audit log before widening what the agent may touch.

Pause control and Stop agent on the PC.
Try this
On the PC: Desktop settings → Pause control.
What you getThe panel on your phone shows Control paused; the stream still works, the agent does not act until you resume.
