live rooms

Walk away and still
watch it run

Set something long going, leave, and watch that screen on your phone. If it stops to ask, type a line from the phone and set it going again. If you have a team, one link shares the same screen with all of them.

The line

Watchers can only watch

Sharing a screen is not sharing your computer. From start to finish, only the host types.

What a watcher does

Watches the screen. Scrolls back through the conversation. Writes in the chat. That is all.

What the host does

Types commands. Puts a chat line onto the input line with โŒจ Insert. Closes the room.

A person always presses Enter

Putting a chat line on the input line does not run it. The host presses Enter themselves.

Why it does not run automatically โ€” chat carries things that are not commands. A line like "why is it doing that?" running in a terminal would be a bad day. So it is only placed there, and the person watching the screen decides whether it runs.

On your own

You will use it most
when nobody else is watching

It was built to show a team, and it gets used most when you are alone. You cannot sit and stare at the screen for the thirty minutes an AI takes.

Open your own room on your phone and you can even put a chat line onto the command input line. No more walking back to the desk for one "continue" or one "y". Even then, you press Enter yourself.

Watching together means explaining less

What you asked for and how far it got, in one screen.
