What Home shows: UtilizeBot at the top, then your computer, Meetings, Family, Groups and your bots. The gear opens Settings, where Plan shows your plan and credits.

Give it a job, not a question

Most chat apps answer questions. UtilizeBot is a team that finishes work and brings the result back to your chat: a table, a document, a draft ready to send.

Write it like a job. Say three things: the result you want, the details that matter, and the format.

• Question: "What is a good accounting app?"
• Job: "Compare 3 accounting apps for my 5 person bakery. Table of monthly prices, then a one page PDF."

Find your way around

• Beranda: UtilizeBot at the top, Your computer, then your bots.
• Chats: the clock icon in a chat opens your earlier chats. Search them by any word. Tap the pen for a new chat; the one you opened last is the one Home takes you to.
• Profile: tap the arrow next to UtilizeBot. Dokumen, Links and Media keep what it made. Your computer (when your computer is switched on for your account) shows its screen while it works.
• Bots: team members with one ongoing job, like a weekday news brief. Ask UtilizeBot to set one up. A bot made by hand with the plus button needs a standing goal to run on its schedule; it is easier to ask UtilizeBot to set it up.
• Settings: fill in About you and Instructions so answers fit you. UtilizeBot uses them from your next message.

The message box: tap + to attach photos or files (up to 25 MB each, 20 MB per message). Tap the mic to speak, where your browser shows it. Above the box you get Check progress, Stop task, I've finished my step and View tasks; the row shows once your account has a bot or you have written in this chat.

Connecting email and calendar is handled by your admin for now.

Give UtilizeBot a job with a clear result, and say the format you want back. For example: Find 10 coffee bean suppliers in Kuala Lumpur. For each give the name, website, phone and what they sell. Send it as an Excel file.

While it works

• The line next to its face shows it is working, for example "UtilizeBot is analyzing your request...". Bigger jobs take a few minutes.
• The button row above the message box scrolls sideways. Check progress gets you a quick update, and the main job carries on.
• Stop task ends the job. While it works, the send button also turns into a Stop square.
• When it needs you (a sign-in, a quick check, a payment), a card appears in the chat: type your details on the sign-in card, or tap I'm done on the card. The I've finished my step button is for longer tasks (missions) that are waiting on you.

You can leave Go back to Home, use other apps or close the app. The work carries on, and the result is posted in the chat. On the Android app you also get a notification.

Your file The finished file arrives as a card in the chat. Tap the card to read it inside the app, or the download arrow to save it. The viewer has Download and Share buttons, plus Open in computer when your computer is on. To find a file later, tap UtilizeBot at the top of the chat, then Dokumen. Files from your chats with it are listed there, newest first. Files a bot made in its own chat are in that bot's Documents tab.

Habit: ask for the file, then let it work.

Send it a file. Tap + next to the message box and pick a file. Photos, PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV and text files all work. One message can carry up to 20 MB of files. You can attach several files and remove one with its cross before you send. Then say what you want done with it.

Ask for a real document. Name the format you want: a Word file, a PDF, slides or a spreadsheet. Reports and proposals usually arrive as Word plus PDF. Slide decks arrive as PowerPoint plus PDF. UtilizeBot adds a line or two on what the document says and what still needs your input.

Read it in the app. Tap any file card. Word, Excel, slides, PDFs, photos and videos open in the viewer. From there:

• Unduh saves the real file to your phone.
• Share passes it to another app on phones that support sharing; elsewhere it copies a link.
• Open in computer shows it on your computer, where you can tap Take control. If you do not have a computer yet, it tells you so. If the computer is still starting, try again in a moment.

Drafts you send yourself. Ask for an email, a WhatsApp message or a post, and it comes in its own box. Tap inside to change the words, then tap Copy. An email has its own Subject line with a separate copy button. The undo arrow brings back the original, and your edits stay on this device.

Habit: send the file, say the format you want back, and copy drafts straight from the box.

UtilizeBot has its own computer with a real web browser, and it is yours alone: nobody else can open it. It uses it to open websites, compare prices, read pages and fill in forms for you.

Watch it live. On Home, tap Your computer. The screen is view only, so you cannot get in its way by accident. If it was asleep, it wakes up by itself. This can take a minute.

Take control. Tap Ambil kendali to use the computer yourself. Turn your phone sideways for a bigger screen. When you are finished, tap Hand back.

Give it a real job. In the chat, ask it to check or compare prices on a shop. It opens the site straight away and replies with what it found: product names, prices, ratings and direct links, plus a screenshot when it helps. While it works, tap the screen icon at the top of the chat to watch. Close it whenever you like; the work carries on.

Find it again. Links from your chats also collect under Links on its profile, newest first, with the site address on each row, so you can open that deal again later.

Some shops ask you to sign in, or want a quick check that you are a person, before they show prices. UtilizeBot asks you on a card in the chat when that happens. That is the next chapter.

The habit: let it do the clicking, and peek at its computer whenever you are curious.

Sign-ins happen on a secure card. When a site needs you to sign in, UtilizeBot opens the sign-in page on its computer and sends a sign-in card into the chat. Check the address line first: the lock and the bold name show the real site. If the name UtilizeBot used for the site does not match the address, the card says so. Type your details on the card and tap the blue button (Sign in, Next or Send code). They go straight to your computer, and UtilizeBot never sees them. The card then shows when it is done: "Signed in to ", or "Sent. UtilizeBot takes it from here." when the page is not clearly signed in yet. Either way the job carries on. If the site sends a code, or asks you to approve on your phone, the same card walks you through it. A card expires after 10 minutes.

Stay signed in. Leave Stay signed in on my computer switched on. The site stays signed in on your computer, so it is usually once per site. What you type is not saved.

UtilizeBot needs you. For a captcha, a passkey, a tap on your phone or a payment, you get a card with a live picture of your computer. Do the step on the computer (tap Open computer, then Hand back when finished) or on your phone, then tap I'm done. Not now skips it, and UtilizeBot tells you what it could not finish.

Payments stay with you. UtilizeBot goes as far as the checkout, then asks you to enter the payment details and press Pay yourself.

The habit: passwords and codes go on the sign-in card. Card numbers go on the checkout page after you tap Open computer. Never type any of them in the chat.

Tell UtilizeBot what you want in plain words: who it is for, what it should show, and that you want a live link. It builds the site on its own computer, checks that it runs, then publishes it and sends you a link anyone can open. The first visit can take up to a minute.

Watch it work. While it builds, tap the screen icon at the top of the chat. When its computer is up you see the live screen, and you can keep chatting. If the computer is not up yet, the icon takes you to Your computer instead.

Where your links live. Settings, Published apps. Each link shows Live, Starting or Asleep, with buttons to open, copy or stop it. You can have a few live links at a time (Settings shows how many; 3 is the default). Links stay up while your computer is awake. If they fall asleep, tap Wake my apps.

Changes. Reply in the same chat, for example: "Make the header dark blue and add an About us section. Keep the same link." Publishing again under the same app name keeps the same link.

Bigger builds. For an app with several parts, like bookings, UtilizeBot sets up a team (usually called Dev Team) and shows its progress in your chat under a card. This needs bots switched on for your account. When the team's result lands in your chat, ask UtilizeBot to publish it and send you the link.

Good to know. Links are public, so never ask it to publish private customer details. Publishing is off until your admin switches it on for you, it needs your agent computer switched on, and it is not available on child profiles.

UtilizeBot is the hub. Ask it for anything, and it decides how to get it done:

• Small jobs it does itself, right in the chat.
• Repeating jobs (a morning news brief, weekly post drafts, a price watch) get their own bot. It shows a card: tap the option you want, then Set up selected. Sometimes it is a one-tap card instead: Create bot or Keep it here.
• Big builds go to a Dev Team, a lead with specialists. A card in your chat shows the team is on it, and updates and the result land in that same chat. Open the team's own chat when you want to talk to it directly.
• Long jobs with many steps can run as a mission with a crew. For a long job UtilizeBot may give you a one-tap line to start it as a mission; tap it to start. Check progress gives you an update while a mission or a bot run is going. View tasks shows a short technical list of your missions.

Every bot appears on Home under Your bots, with its own chat. Open a bot and tap its name at the top to change what it does, set a Schedule (daily, weekdays, every few hours, or only when asked), run it now, or pause it. Each run uses credits.

To pass a note to a bot, tell UtilizeBot: "Tell Morning Brief to add the weather." You will see Messaged Morning Brief in your chat, and the bot answers in its own chat.

You can also make a bot by hand with the + button on Home. A bot made by hand needs a standing goal to run on its schedule; it is easier to ask UtilizeBot to set it up.

Reminders that ring

Ask in plain words: Remind me at 4 pm to send the invoice. A plain reminder arrives as a message in that chat. For anything you cannot miss, add ring me (make sure I don't miss it works too) and the app rings like a phone call. Answer stops the ring and reads the reminder out loud. Got it closes it. On a real reminder you also get Snooze 10 min, which rings again later. You can also say got it in the chat while it rings, ask what reminders do I have?, or say cancel the bank reminder.

• Android app: your phone rings like a real call.
• Web: keep UtilizeBot open on your screen and a ringing card slides in within about 15 seconds. If the tab is hidden, the card shows when you come back to it. For rings you cannot miss, use the Android app.
• Quiet hours (Settings, Calls) are 11 pm to 7 am to start with, and you can change them. Ringing reminders wait until quiet hours end, unless you say wake me.
• Test ring in Settings, Calls lets you try it any time. A test ring has Answer and Got it only.
• Calls to your phone number are not on for your account, so the app does the ringing.

Teach it about you

In Settings, About you, add your name, your work and your time zone. Type your time zone exactly like the grey example in the box (for example Asia/Kuala_Lumpur), or reminders use the server clock. Facts you mention in your main UtilizeBot chat are saved too. Instructions are your house rules; it follows them from your next message.

Plan shows an estimate of what your requests have used today and this month.

If family mode is on for your account, Settings also has a Family section for your children's learning space.

Connect it once. UtilizeBot runs in the cloud, so it needs an address of your Home Assistant that opens from outside your home: Home Assistant Cloud gives you one, or use your own https address. Local addresses such as homeassistant.local or 192.168.x.x are refused. In Home Assistant, tap your name at the bottom left, open the Security tab and create a long lived access token called UtilizeBot (it is shown only once). Then in the app go to Settings, Smart home, tap Connect next to Home Assistant, paste the address and the token and tap Connect. UtilizeBot tests both before it saves anything. SmartThings works the same way with a personal access token.

Your home. Once connected, a Your home row appears on your home screen and in Settings. Every device is listed by room (rooms come from Home Assistant's areas). Tap a tile to switch a light, plug or fan, drag the brightness, step the aircon temperature or change its mode, open or close a cover, run a scene. Pull down to refresh.

Just ask. In your UtilizeBot chat, say it in plain words: turn off all the lights, aircon to 24, is the front door locked?, run the goodnight scene. UtilizeBot finds the device and tells you in one line what it changed. Your bots can do the same, including on a schedule, for example a bot that turns everything off every night at eleven.

Doors, garages, locks and alarms ask you first. Anything that opens your home or switches security off is never done on its own: unlocking a lock, opening a garage or gate, turning an alarm off, switching a camera off. UtilizeBot sends an OK to do this at home? card into the chat with the device, the action and the reason, and waits. Tap Approve and the action runs right away and the chat confirms it. Tap Deny and nothing changes. The card counts down and expires on its own after about two minutes. Locking, closing and arming happen straight away. In Your home, these devices carry a small lock badge and ask you to confirm with a second tap.

Private by design. Your home is yours alone: nobody else in your account can see or control it. The token is stored encrypted and never shown again, and UtilizeBot never sees it in the chat. You can disconnect at any time in Settings, Smart home.

Add a child. Home, Family (or Settings, Family), then Add a child. Type their first name, pick an age group (5 to 8, 9 to 12 or 13 to 17), keep or change the sign-in name the form suggests, and set a PIN of 4 to 12 digits. Read the parental consent, tick it, type your name and tap Create account. You can have up to 8 children.

Their learning world. On the child's page, Interests, adventures & progress is where you type what they love (up to 8 interests), tick one to four goals to nurture, pick English or Arabic and a challenge level, and save. Leave A fresh adventure when they visit on and UtilizeBot writes one new story a day when they open My world; they can ask for up to four a day in total. You can preview every story, see their scores and remove a story from the shelf.

Kids sign in. Sign out, tap Kids sign in on the sign-in screen, and your child types their sign-in name and PIN. They get a simple home of their own: Homework help, Reading time, Story time, Ask me anything, Explore my world and Keep chatting. A child never sees your chats, bots, files, computer, connectors or smart home, and cannot reach them.

What they get. A warm, patient learning buddy that asks what they think before it explains, keeps replies short, and follows the family values in every reply, story, game and worksheet: always Muslim-friendly, no romance, no non-Islamic holidays, nothing scary, halal food, modest characters. If they ask about a grown-up topic, the buddy says kindly that it is a question for their parents and offers something fun instead.

Your controls. On the child's page: Pause or resume; a daily time (15 minutes to 4 hours) and quiet hours; switches for homework help, reading practice, stories, photos and worksheets, learning games and the drawing studio; You can read their chats (on by default under 13, off for teenagers; the child sees a note when it is on); Activity (minutes, sessions and subjects for the week, never their words); Safety alerts (the kind of concern and when, never their words); Learning routines (a friendly nudge at a set time, like reading practice at 7:30 pm); Reset PIN and Delete.

The habit: glance at their activity now and then, and talk with them about what they are learning.

Ask, and you get a card, not a sent email. Tell UtilizeBot who the email is for, what to say, and which mailbox to send from (the site and your address there). It writes the email and puts it on a card in the chat with From, To, Cc, Subject and the message. The card reads Siap ditinjau. Nothing is sent yet.

Edit it on the card. Change any field right there. Edits save to your account on their own (the card says Saved), so you can come back later or from another device. Show more opens a taller box for a longer message. If you edited the same card on two devices, the card asks you to Load latest draft first.

Send email approves that exact version. Tap Send email and the card changes to Waiting for your team. Your team then sends it from your own mailbox on your computer, with the exact text you approved. Discard closes the draft instead. From, To, Subject and the message must all be filled in before Send email works; Cc is optional.

The first time, you sign in on a card. If the mailbox is not signed in on your computer, you get the secure sign-in card from chapter 6. Check the address line, type your details on the card and tap Masuk. They go straight to your computer; UtilizeBot never sees them. The mailbox stays signed in on your computer, so this is usually once.

Sending, then Sent. The card shows Sending, then Sent with the note Confirmed in your mailbox. Sent means your mailbox confirmed it went out, not that the person has received or read it. If the email was definitely not sent, the card says Not sent with the reason, and you can fix it and send again. If the result could not be confirmed, the card says Check sent mail: look in your Sent folder before doing anything else, because UtilizeBot will not send it again on its own.

Want proof? The Your computer tab shows the mailbox exactly as UtilizeBot left it, and your Sent folder has the email.

The habits: passwords only ever go on the sign-in card, and an email leaves only after you tap Send email.

Find it on Home. Tap Rapat on Home. Record a meeting in the app, or upload a recording you already have. A few minutes after it ends you get a transcript with speakers, the minutes, and a list of actions.

Record a meeting. Tap Record a meeting, add a title if you like, and tap Start recording. The first time, a short note appears: tell everyone in the meeting that you are recording and ask if they are OK with it, then tap I understand. While it records you see the time and the sound level, and it saves as you go. Keep the app open and the screen on. Put your phone face up near the people talking. Pause stops for a moment; Stop, then Stop and save, ends it.

Upload a recording. Tap Upload a recording and choose an audio file such as m4a or mp3. Check the title and when the meeting was, then tap Upload and write minutes. Keep the screen open until the upload finishes.

It gets to work. The meeting page shows the steps: Uploaded, Transcribed, Writing minutes, then Ready. You can leave the screen. You get Your meeting minutes are ready in the app, and a card in your chat with the first actions and Open minutes.

Actions come first. Each action shows who owns it, when it is due, and the exact words from the meeting with the time they were said. Tap the time to hear that moment. Tap the action's words to change the text, the owner or the due date. Add an action adds one the meeting missed. Actions UtilizeBot could not find in the transcript wait under Needs checking: tap Keep or Remove.

Minutes. The Minutes tab has a short summary, the decisions, the topics, and the risks and open questions. Every item links to its moment. Copy minutes copies them as plain text. The Transcript tab has every line with its speaker and time; search it, tap a speaker to give them a name, or tap This is me.

Follow through. On any open action:

• Remind me sets a reminder (on the due date, tomorrow at 9:00, in 1 hour, or a time you pick). Turn on Ring like a call for one you cannot miss.
• Assign to a bot gives the action to one of your bots, with its quote and the meeting summary. Anything the bot wants to send waits for your OK.
• Draft follow-up email writes the email in your chat as an email card. Nothing is sent until you tap Send email on the card.

You can turn on a morning summary of actions that are due or overdue in Meetings settings (the gear on the Meetings screen).

Ask in chat. Ask UtilizeBot about your meetings in plain words, such as What did we decide about the delivery van? It answers from your meetings, with the meeting, the date and a link to the exact moment.

Only you mark an action done. Tap the circle next to an action to mark it done, with Undo if you tapped by mistake. UtilizeBot never marks an action done or drops it by itself, even when you ask in chat: it gives you a link and you tap.

Private to you. Your meetings are saved privately to your account. Only you can open them. To delete one, open it, tap the menu at the top and choose Delete meeting. Its recording, transcript, minutes and actions are removed, and reminders for its actions are cancelled.

A group is one chat for several people, with UtilizeBot in the room. Use it for your team, a client project, a study group or family plans.

Make a group. Open Groups and tap New group. Give it a name, pick what it is for and a colour, and choose the monthly credits UtilizeBot may use there. Those credits come from your plan: members never use their own. Creating groups comes with paid plans.

Invite people. In Group info, tap Invite people. Make a link or QR code (choose when it expires and how many people can use it), or invite someone by their username. People who open the link ask to join, and you let them in.

Ask UtilizeBot. Type @UtilizeBot and your question. It answers everyone in the group. Without the tag it stays quiet, unless you reply to one of its messages: a reply to UtilizeBot counts as tagging it.

Reply and react. Swipe a message to reply to it. Press and hold (or right click on a computer) for reactions, Copy, Edit and Remove.

Group bots and the group computer. In Group info, Add a bot for one job (when asked, or every hour, day or week); it uses the group credits and sees only this group. Adult groups also share one Group computer with its own browser and files: everyone can watch, one person controls it at a time.

Privacy. Everyone in the group sees the group chat. Your personal chats stay private.

UtilizeBot counts its work in credits. Every message and task uses some: a quick reply uses a few, work on the computer uses more, and failed runs are free.

Free trial. New accounts get 500 credits for 14 days, no card needed.

See your credits. Settings, Plan shows your plan, the credits you have left, this month's plan credits and the day they reset. Credits used lists what each message and task used.

Plans (monthly, or yearly for about 17% less):

• Starter: RM 49 a month, 600 credits, 3 bots.
• Pro: RM 99 a month, 1,500 credits, 15 bots, Meetings, Family (up to 4 children) and publishing apps.
• Enterprise: custom; tap Talk to us.

Credit packs: 300 credits for RM 30, 1,100 for RM 100, 2,300 for RM 200. Bought credits are used after your plan credits and stay valid for 12 months.

You pay on a secure payment page. Change plan or manage billing from Settings, Plan. Prices are the ones shown in the app on the day you buy.

UtilizeBot already has its own computer in the cloud (chapter 5). This chapter is about your PC: connect it when a job needs your own apps, files or logins.

1. Install UtilizeBot Companion. On the computer you want to connect, open Settings, My devices in UtilizeBot and download the Companion for Windows, Mac or Linux (Ubuntu or Debian). Install and open it. These preview installers are not publisher signed yet, so Windows or macOS may show a security warning before it opens.

2. Pair it. Tap Create pairing code in My devices and type the code into the Companion. You pair once.

3. Choose what your team can do. In the Companion, allow screen viewing, or viewing and control. You can pause access from your phone or on the PC.

Use it. Open the computer in My devices to see its screen. Pinch or use the buttons to zoom, switch screens on a computer with several, and tap to click when control is on. Or just ask in chat: your team works on your computer while you watch.

The computer must stay awake with the Companion open.

Watch reads your connected Gmail or Outlook (mail and calendar) for you. When an important email is still unanswered a few hours later, it posts one nudge in your chat: who wrote, when, what it is about, and an email card with a reply ready. Nothing is sent until you tap Kirim on that card.

Switch it on. Settings, Watch: turn on Watch my email and connect Gmail or Outlook. Work accounts may need your IT team to approve UtilizeBot once.

On a nudge: Review the reply, Open in Gmail or Outlook, Remind me later (in 3 hours, or tomorrow morning), Not important (then mute that sender or their whole domain), or Mark as done. If you reply elsewhere, the nudge says You replied.

VIP senders always count as important. Remind me about unanswered email after sets the delay; Check every sets how often it looks.

Ring me for: meetings in your connected calendars ring like a call, 10 minutes before by default (you can change it), and you can choose to ring for VIPs, urgent email or a client waiting.

Quiet hours hold nudges and rings. Turn on the morning digest and it lists what waits for you and today's meetings. LinkedIn messages and comments are caught through LinkedIn's alert emails.

Voice messages. Tap the microphone next to the message box, say what you need, then tap Kirim. Up to 5 minutes. Your message shows what UtilizeBot heard (tap play to listen again), and it answers like any typed message.

Your language. Set your language in Settings, Personalization, App language. Then speak it (English, Malay, Arabic and others): it writes down what you said in that language and replies in the language you speak.

Microphone blocked? The app tells you how to allow it on your phone or computer. Or tap Send an audio file instead and pick a recording: it is transcribed and answered the same way.

Read out loud. Reminder calls speak the reminder in a clear voice, and your child's stories in Family can be read aloud.

Think of UtilizeBot as the manager of your AI team. Give each part of your business its own bot (marketing posts, a morning news brief, a dev team, customer orders) and keep talking to UtilizeBot only.

Hand-offs. Ask for the work in plain words. UtilizeBot picks the right bot and a card shows who is on it. When the bot is done, the card turns to done and the report comes back to your chat. The card's Open button (Open Caption Writer, for example) shows the bot's full work.

Approve on cards. New bots, emails, LinkedIn posts and risky steps wait for your tap on a card. Nothing important happens without you.

At a glance. Home lists every bot and what it is doing. Open one to change its job or schedule, or just ask UtilizeBot to pause or resume it.
