Bot overview panel

The right-hand Overview panel shows a bot's screen, status, routines, threads and integrations next to its chat.

On the desktop app, the Overview panel sits to the right of a bot's chat. It sums up what the bot is doing without leaving the conversation.

#What it shows

• Screen: while the bot's browser is running, its page streams live here, marked Live. Otherwise you see the latest screenshot the bot took with its browser or with computer control (Latest capture), or No screenshot yet. Each conversation has its own browser and sign-ins: when a thread is open, you see that thread's browser; the general chat and routines share the general chat's browser. Click the preview (or its enlarge icon) to open the bot's browser: the panel widens and shows the full browser (tabs, address bar, annotation tools) in the same place. When the bot starts browsing, its browser opens there on its own. Back to preview returns to the Overview. A bot on Vato Cloud streams its browser here the same way while its machine is online; the preview never wakes a sleeping machine, but clicking it does, and opens the browser in the same widened panel.
• Status, Model and Environment: whether the bot is ready, running or needs your attention, the model it uses, and where it runs (This computer or Vato Cloud).
• Routines: each routine with when it runs next (for example Next in 5 min, or Next run due now once it's due) and how often it runs (for example Every 5 hours). The same line appears in Actions → Routines. A paused routine says Paused; a routine that is working right now says Running.
• Threads: the General chat and the latest threads. Click one to open it. A thread waiting for you says Waiting for your answer.
• Integrations (bots on this computer): private browser session, bot memory, Vato skills and shared computer control, each marked On or Off.

See all next to a section opens the full section from the Actions menu (Routines, Threads or Integrations). The Overview panel is replaced by that section while it is open, and comes back when you close it.

#Hide or show the panel

• Click the panel icon at the top right of the Overview panel to hide it.
• Click the same icon in the bot's header to show it again.

Vato remembers your choice. The panel only appears when the window is wide enough; on a narrow window, the chat keeps the full width.
