Remote Control

AC-AIBot supports remote control, allowing you to operate your computer from your phone, tablet, or any browser with voice input support. No matter where you are, you can have your AI assistant complete tasks for you.

How It Works

Remote control works through the AC-AIBot cloud service:

1. Your computer runs the AC-AIBot client and connects to the cloud service
2. You access the Dashboard from your phone or other device via browser
3. Select your computer in the Dashboard and send text or voice commands
4. The AI assistant executes tasks on your computer

Step 1: Register and Log in to Dashboard

1. Visit the AC-AIBot website
2. Click the Dashboard button in the top right corner

3. Register for an account if you don't have one, or log in directly
4. After logging in, you'll see the Dashboard page

The Dashboard displays:

• Account Info: Account information (email, registration date)
• Change Password: Password management
• Computer Control Panel: List of connected computers

Step 2: Create an API Key

To connect your computer to the cloud service, you need to create an API Key.

1. Scroll down on the Dashboard page to find the API Keys section
2. Click the Create Key button to generate a new API Key
3. Copy the generated API Key (starts with ak_)

Note: The API Key is only shown once. Keep it safe. If lost, you can revoke it and create a new one.

Step 3: Configure Remote Control in the Client

1. Open AC-AIBot on your computer
2. Go to Settings > Remote Control
3. Paste the API Key you copied into the API Key field
4. Set a Computer Name to identify this computer in the Dashboard
5. Turn on the Enabled switch
6. Click Save Config to save the configuration
7. Click Start to launch the remote control service

Configuration fields:

Field	Description
Machine ID	Unique identifier for the computer (auto-generated)
Server URL	Cloud service address, default is https://ac-aibot.com
API Key	API Key obtained from Dashboard
Computer Name	Custom name for the computer
Enabled	Whether remote control is enabled
Poll Interval	Polling interval (seconds)
Idle Backoff	Idle backoff time (seconds)

After starting, the Status section shows connection status:

• Status: Running means it's active
• Tasks Completed: Number of completed tasks
• Last Register: Last registration time
• Last Poll: Last polling time

Step 4: View Connected Computers in Dashboard

Return to the Dashboard page. In the Computer Control Panel section, you can see connected computers:

Each computer shows:

• Computer name (e.g., william1)
• Online status (green dot means online)
• Machine ID
• Last online time

Click Enter Chat to enter the chat interface.

Step 5: Send Voice or Text Commands

In the chat interface, you can interact with the AI assistant in three ways:

• Chat: Text chat
• Scheduled Tasks: Scheduled tasks
• Voice Chat: Voice chat

Using Voice Commands

1. Switch to the Voice Chat tab
2. Press and hold the microphone button at the bottom
3. Speak your command (e.g., "Clean up my disk space")
4. Release the button, and the AI assistant will execute the task on your computer
