DevThrottle on mobile

3 min read

Mobile is the Director in your pocket. Your agents keep working after you stand up - the phone's job is to make sure you are never the bottleneck just because you walked away. It pings you the second an agent needs an answer, and you reply from wherever you are.

What it does

  • It comes to you. A push notification the instant an agent stops and asks a question - no checking, no polling, no wondering.
  • Answer from anywhere. On a walk, in line, on the train. Reply by voice or thumb and the agent keeps going; no laptop required. Voice replies use the same dictation as the desktop, including your custom dictionary.
  • Review on the spot. See what an agent finished and sign off - or send it back - right from the phone. Decisions stop waiting for your desk.
  • Send screenshots. Photos and screenshots you send from the phone land in the session's Screenshots panel on the Director, so "make it look like this" works from the couch.

Your phone connects to your Gateway

The mobile app is served by the Gateway - by default DevThrottle's hosted Gateway, or one you run yourself. When you answer an agent from the phone, the Gateway relays your answer to the session, which runs in a Director on the machine you chose. The phone itself holds only a per-device key - not your account - so a lost phone is one revoked device, not a compromised account. The details are on the pairing page.

Note
The phone is a view. Putting it in your pocket, losing signal, or letting the battery die never stops an agent - sessions run in Directors on your machines. See keeping agents running.
