How a session reads on the phone — the conversation, grouped machine work, the output bar, previews, changes, reports and budget decisions.

The conversation#

A session on the phone is what you said and what Ysra said back, as chat. The machine work between two messages folds into one card:

  • live while it runs;
  • its checks at a glance — passed and failed;
  • the last two steps visible;
  • the full trail one tap away.

A typing row says what Ysra is doing right now.

A session in progress on mobile: the request "Fix the checkout drop-off", Ysra finding the commands and editing, a card with three steps including a test check and a browser step, and "Prove it in a browser" in progress

A session in progress.

The feed: every step with its time — found commands, an edit, a type-check failing then the test passing, and the browser filling the checkout form

The full trail behind the card.

The output bar#

Above the message box, the output bar holds what the session produced:

Button Does
Preview Starts the app Ysra built and opens it. Test sign-in details are offered when the app needs them.
Changes The diff — including images Ysra added.
Report The build report.
Open PR / PR #n Pushes the branch and opens a draft pull request, or opens the one already there.

A hint under them notes that sending deploy puts a finished candidate live. Browser-verification screenshots appear at the end of a finished conversation.

A finished session: the invoices page now loads 25 per page, checked in a real browser, with a question about sort order, and Preview, Open PR, Changes and Report

Done, with a decision for you.

The Changes view: a one-line diff to app.ts and the new hero image rendered

Changes, including new images.

Previews on the phone#

Preview rebuilds the finished version and gives you a link:

  • a website opens in the system browser;
  • an API is labelled as an API with its address, rather than a blank page;
  • if the app needs an account, you're offered temporary sign-in details for that preview only.

The first preview can take a few minutes while dependencies install and the app builds.

Budget decisions#

When a session reaches its budget, the phone asks — with everything you need to decide:

The budget gate: "Spend $2 more to finish this task?", the task, repository, branch, plan progress, spend, wallet and waiting time, top-up amounts and Slide to add $5.00, Steer instead, Stop here

Add budget, steer, or stop.

  • Add a small amount with one slide.
  • Steer instead — change the approach rather than spend more.
  • Stop here — keep what's done.

Live updates#

The conversation updates live and catches up after you lose signal, without losing or repeating steps. You never see internal model reasoning — only the recorded narrative of what Ysra did.
