The live execution view lets you watch an assignment work in real time — whether it is navigating a browser or operating a Windows desktop. Use it to catch problems as they happen, audit unusual decisions, guide the assignment through an edge case, or demonstrate work in progress to stakeholders.

When the live view appears

A live view tile appears in the job panel automatically whenever a running job uses:
  • Browser automation — any assignment that navigates websites, fills in forms, or reads browser-based systems.
  • Computer Use — assignments operating the Duvo-managed Windows sandbox.
  • Windows Remote Desktop — assignments working inside your own Windows machines.
The tile shows as long as the job is actively running. If the assignment pauses to wait for a human approval, the live view hides and the approval request takes its place. Once the approval is resolved, the live view returns. Live view is not available for completed or stopped jobs. After a job finishes, a screenshot timeline replaces the live tile so you can step through what the assignment did.

Opening and expanding the view

When a job is running, a thumbnail card appears at the bottom of the job panel showing a live preview of the browser or desktop. Live view showing a running Windows desktop Job
  • Thumbnail — The default state. A small preview lets you see activity at a glance without leaving your current view. The card label changes to “Browsing” or “Using desktop” while the assignment is actively working.
  • Split view — Click the thumbnail or the expand icon to open a larger panel that appears over the job view. Use this when you need to see what the assignment is doing clearly while keeping the session log visible.
  • Full screen — Click the maximize icon in the split view header to expand to a full-screen overlay. Use this when demonstrating the assignment to a stakeholder or auditing complex multi-step work.
Click anywhere outside the expanded view, or use the minimize icon, to return to the thumbnail.

Taking control

The live view is interactive. You can take control of the browser or desktop at any point during a running job.
  1. Expand the live view to split or full-screen mode.
  2. Click anywhere inside the browser or desktop to start interacting. The header shows “Click to take over.”
  3. Type, click, and navigate as you would normally.
  4. Use the job-time prompt in the session log to tell the Assignment what changed or how to continue.
Everything you do while in control is captured in the session log alongside the assignment’s own actions, so the full audit trail is preserved.

What you can see

View typeWhat is visible
BrowserThe live browser window, including the active tab and any tabs the assignment has opened
Computer UseThe full Windows desktop, including mouse position, open applications, and screen content
Windows Remote DesktopThe full remote Windows desktop over a live RDP connection
An overlay in the bottom corner of the expanded view shows the tool currently executing — useful for understanding which step of the process is active without reading through the session log.

Use cases

Catching a problem before it lands — Watch a new assignment run for the first time and intervene if it is about to take a wrong action. Expanding the view lets you see exactly what the assignment sees, so you can step in and correct the situation before it completes a bad step. Auditing an unusual decision — When a completed job shows issues, open the job and step through the screenshot timeline to see exactly what the assignment did and why. Training new builders — Walk a new team member through a running job by sharing your screen in split view mode. They can watch the assignment work in real time while you explain the SOP logic alongside it. Demonstrating to stakeholders — Run an assignment in full-screen mode during a meeting to show stakeholders exactly how the automation works. The live view makes the process concrete and visible, which is more effective than describing it. Guiding an edge case — If the assignment reaches a state it has not encountered before, take control, navigate through the edge case manually, then hand back and let the assignment finish.

Screenshot replay (after the job)

Once a job completes, the live tile is replaced by a screenshot replay. This is a step-by-step visual timeline of everything the assignment did — one screenshot per browser action or desktop interaction. Click any screenshot to expand it. Use the timeline to understand what the assignment saw at each step, which is useful for post-job audits and for refining the SOP based on what you observe.

Access

Anyone with access to view and run the assignment can open the live view for jobs they can see. Owners and Administrators can also view jobs run by other team members from the Jobs List. See Roles and Permissions for the full breakdown.
