Watch Your Agent Work

Follow an Octavus Agent's work from a thread, its Computer tab, or the side-by-side Show Computer view.

Follow an Agent’s work as it happens, from the thread or its computer.

Start with a thread

Give your Agent a task in a new or existing thread. You can follow its progress there while it works.

Watch the computer

  1. Open the Computer tab to see the Agent’s computer and browser activity.
  2. For a side-by-side view, open Threads and select Show Computer in the upper-right corner.
  3. Review the Agent’s actions, tool calls, script calls, screenshots, MCP calls, and to-do list alongside the computer screen.

Take control when needed

You can take control of the computer if your Agent needs help with a unique situation. Agents are designed to work autonomously, so this is usually unnecessary.

Verify

In the Show Computer view, the Agent’s activity and its computer screen appear side by side. You can use either view to follow the work as it progresses.
