Android App

Go Mode is the Android app for caic. It is a native shell that hosts the caic web frontend in a WebView and adds native capabilities the browser cannot provide: voice, notifications, screenshot capture, and Halo glasses management. You get the full caic web experience plus hands-free control from your phone.

Task list

All running agents at a glance. See prompt, branch, status, cost, and CI results for each task.

Task detail

Follow an agent's work in real time: streamed text, tool uses, and results. Send follow-up messages, push branches, or stop the agent.

First launch

On first launch, Go Mode shows a native settings screen. Enter the service URL of your caic instance, for example https://caic.example.com, and the app loads its web frontend. A persistent native header bar stays available so you can reopen settings and switch instances at any time.

Native features

• Voice: supervise and control tasks hands-free. See Voice for setup.
• Notifications: receive hosted-service notifications when an agent finishes a turn or needs input.
• Screenshot capture: capture the screen when a task needs a visual.
• Passkeys: WebAuthn passkey sign-in works inside the WebView.
• Halo glasses: manage Brilliant Labs Halo devices over Bluetooth (see below).

Halo glasses

Go Mode manages Brilliant Labs Halo glasses over Bluetooth Low Energy. From the Halo screen you can:

• Scan for nearby Halo devices
• Connect to or disconnect from a device
• Toggle auto-connect so the app reconnects to your chosen device automatically
