Vokal also has mobile apps for following conversations and working with agents away from your desk. The download options include VokalAI for iPhone and an Android installer. Use the download page for available releases and installation links.The iPhone app requires iOS 16 or later. Mobile screens and controls can differ from the desktop guides.
Local agents use an AI engine on your computer. Complete the engine’s setup and sign-in before starting the agent. See Local agents.Keep the computer awake and connected while its agents work. On Mac, Settings → Agents → Device & storage settings includes Keep awake while agents are active to prevent idle sleep while local agents run.
Cloud agents run away from your computer. Complete the AI connection and access setup shown when creating the agent. A local AI engine is not required on the device you use to message a cloud agent.See Agents for choosing where an agent works.
