Bots on mobile
Chat with your Bots, create new ones and run Bot groups from your phone, while the work keeps running on your computer.
The Bots tab shows the Bots and Bot groups of your computers. You can talk to them, create new Bots and groups, and change most settings. The Bots themselves run on the computer they belong to.
Find a Bot
The list shows Groups first, then Pinned Bots, then your other Bots by section. Use Search bots and groups to filter it. When you have several computers, each Bot shows the name of its computer.
Tap a Bot to open its conversation. Press and hold a Bot to open its menu:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pin / Unpin | Keeps the Bot at the top of the list. |
| Move to section | Files the Bot under a section name. |
| Mute notifications | Silences this Bot only. |
| Edit profile | Opens the Bot's settings. |
| Duplicate | Creates a copy of the Bot. |
| Hide from sidebar | Moves the Bot to Hidden conversations. |
| Delete | Deletes the Bot and its conversations. This can't be undone. |
Create a Bot
- Tap the create button at the top of the tab. If you already have two Bots or more, choose New bot.
- Under What should this bot do?, describe the Bot's job.
- Tap the model button to Choose a model, and set the reasoning level if the model supports it.
- Tap send. The Bot is created on the selected computer and starts working on your description.
If you see The desktop has not confirmed yet, go back and check the Bots list. Don't create the Bot again until you know whether the first one exists.
Edit a Bot
Open Edit profile to change the Name, Role and Instructions, and to turn Notifications on or off. Tap Advanced settings for the Color, Provider, Model, Reasoning, Fast Mode, Durable memory and Skills. Tap Save changes when you are done.
Archive this bot hides the Bot from your active Bots. You restore it from Vato Desktop.
Run a Bot group
A group lets several Bots work together on the same conversation.
- Tap the create button, then New group.
- Give the group a name and pick 2 to 6 bots. They must be on the same computer.
- Tap Create group, then send the group its first message.
In a group you can Reply to or React to a message, and attach photos or files: up to 6 per message. Attachments go only to the selected computer. If a message shows Delivery failed, tap it to retry.
You need at least two Bots on a computer to start a group.
What stays on your computer
Some settings are only available in Vato Desktop:
- Computer Use can't be turned on for a Bot from your phone. If a Bot already has it, your edits keep it as it is.
- The Permission mode is shown but can't be changed from your phone.
- Archived Bots are restored from Vato Desktop.
Bots on Vato Cloud
If Vato Cloud is enabled for your account, a Vato Cloud card lets you Wake up, Start or Stop the machine. A sleeping machine wakes up on your next message.
In a Vato Cloud Bot's conversation, tap the globe button, Open the agent's browser, to watch its browser live. Tap Take control to tap and type in the page yourself, and Hand back to let the agent continue.
