The Companion app is in an internal preview. Some of what is described here has not yet been checked on real devices, and iOS voice is still being verified. Features can change.

​
Chat with your Companion

1

Start a chat

The start screen asks “How can I help you?”. Type in the box that says “Write a message”, or tap a suggestion.
2

Read the answer

The answer appears as it is written. AI can make mistakes, so check important information.
3

Come back later

Your chats are listed under Chats, sorted into last 24 hours, previous 7 days and older. Choose New chat to start fresh.
If you were active in a chat in the last two hours, the start screen offers Continue for it.

​
Send a file

Add a file to your message from the composer. Up to five files and 10 MB in total fit in one message. If a file is too large or of a type that is not accepted, the app tells you and does not add it.

​
Talk instead of typing

  • Dictation turns your speech into text in the message box. Your draft is kept if dictation fails.
  • Voice conversation lets you talk with your Companion and hear spoken answers. When you start one, the app tells you that your microphone audio goes to the kombify voice service and counts toward your AI usage.
The app asks for microphone access the first time you use voice. If you said no, allow it in your device settings.

​
If you are offline

A text message you write without a connection is kept on your phone and sent when you are back online. You can choose Send now or Do not send. Files are not queued.

​
Decisions that need you

Some actions need your approval. They appear under “Waiting for your decision” with the server, the risk level and when the request expires.
  1. Open the request and read it.
  2. Choose Approve or Deny.
  3. If you approve, confirm. kombify runs the action on your server right away.
  4. Check the result: “Action completed”, “Action failed” or “Denied”.
If your decision was not confirmed, send it again. The action never runs twice.

​
Notifications

In Settings you can allow notifications for this device. If they are turned off in the system settings, the app tells you.

​
Report a problem

In Settings, choose Report a problem and check what the report contains before you send it. It lists screens you opened recently, your appearance and navigation settings, the app version, technical state and a pseudonymous account ID.

​
If something goes wrong

  1. “Companion is not available for this account right now”: try again later.
  2. “We couldn’t load your conversations”: check your connection and try again.
  3. “Companion couldn’t finish this response”: send your message again.
  4. “The connection ended before the response could be confirmed”: reload the conversation before you continue.
  5. If a message shows a support code, include it when you write to info@kombify.io.
  6. For voice problems: “Voice conversations are not enabled for your account” or “Your included usage for this period is used up” mean your account cannot use voice right now. If cloud voice processing is off, the app offers to allow it.
  7. Still stuck? Send a problem report from Settings.
