Computer use
With Arcon for Windows, your agent will be able to see and use the apps on your PC, and you’ll always know what it’s about to do: the companion points at the exact button first, says what’s next, and waits for your OK on anything sensitive.
Consent first
Before an agent looks at anything, it asks on your phone, once per session: the whole screen, only one app, or not at all. While it’s looking, an eye badge shows on screen. Apps on your never-see list are never captured.
It points before it acts
- The companion flies to what the agent is looking at and points at the exact button.
- Before it acts, it says what’s next, for example About to click Export.
- A red frame around the app and a hand badge mean an agent is operating it.
- It works through Windows accessibility, not your mouse or keyboard, so you can keep working while it does.
Sensitive steps wait for you
Sending, deleting, paying and submitting wait for your OK on the phone, with a picture of the target and what will happen (for example “Sends invoice #1042 to the client · Can’t be undone”). Approve once, or deny.
Per-app autonomy
Every app you allow gets its own level. Anything not on your list is refused.
| Level | What waits for your OK |
|---|---|
| Ask before sensitive steps | The default. Sending, deleting, paying and submitting. |
| Ask every time | Every click and every keystroke. |
| Full autonomy | No per-step approvals, confirmed once. The hard limits below still apply. |
Limits that always hold
- Password fields are refused, both ways: the agent can’t read them or type into them.
- Apps that aren’t on your list are refused, and apps like password managers can be blocked outright.
- Every step is recorded in the session.
- Ctrl Alt Esc stops screen access instantly, any time. So does Stop on the companion. The shortcut can be changed in Settings.
