# Overview

> What the Mobilerun Assistant is, what it can do, and how a conversation with it works.

The Mobilerun Assistant is a hosted virtual assistant you chat with in the dashboard at
[cloud.mobilerun.ai](https://cloud.mobilerun.ai). You tell it what you want done, and it works on a
real cloud phone on your behalf, then reports back with the result.

Think of it as an operator for your Mobilerun account. It can set up and manage devices, run apps,
handle accounts and logins, scrape data, and build recurring automations, all from a chat window.
You don't write scripts or call an API. You describe a goal, and it figures out the steps.

It also answers questions about Mobilerun itself: plans and credits, what a job might cost, and where to start if you want to build with the SDK or API instead. For developer questions it points you to the right docs page and example rather than teaching code in the chat.

## What it is not

The assistant is a chat interface, not the raw automation layer underneath it. It is not the task
agent that developers call directly to drive a device step by step. For that, see
[Agent configuration](/agent).

It is also not a developer SDK. If you want to build your own integration that talks to the
assistant over an API, or teach another AI agent to hold this conversation for you, see
[Mobilerun Assistant · chat](/skills/assistant) and the [MCP Server](/mcp-server) page.

## How a conversation works

<Steps>
  <Step title="You ask">
    Describe what you want in plain language. No commands, no tool names.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It plans">
    The assistant figures out which device, app, or account the task needs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It may ask back">
    If something is ambiguous or sensitive, it pauses and asks you a question or asks for
    approval before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It works on a phone">
    It runs the task on a real cloud phone, taking as many steps as the goal needs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It presents results">
    It leads with the outcome: what succeeded, what failed, and any file or link you need.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The assistant never completes a purchase for you. When money is involved, it shows you a card
  in the dashboard and you click it. See [Limits and costs](/assistant/limits-and-costs).
