Finkkle Spaces works as a system-level assistant on Android. Once configured, invoking the assistant gesture opens a Spaces conversation overlay directly over whatever app you are using — then you can continue the conversation later in the full web experience.

​
Set up the Android assistant

1

Install the Finkkle Spaces app

Download and install the current Finkkle Spaces Android release from the Play Store.
2

Set as default assistant

  1. Open Android Settings
  2. Go to Apps → Default apps → Digital assistant app
  3. Select Finkkle Spaces
3

Invoke the assistant

Use your device’s system assistant gesture (hold the home button, or use the gesture bar depending on your Android version) to open the Spaces overlay.

​
The overlay experience

When you invoke the assistant, a translucent Spaces overlay slides up from the bottom of the screen. The composer appears and the underlying app stays visible behind it. You can:
  • Ask a question about what you are looking at
  • Start a new task or research thread
  • Continue an existing conversation
  • Dismiss the overlay without losing your place in the app

​
Foreground context

When the app you are using permits it, Spaces may receive a bounded snapshot of the foreground screen: Spaces uses this snapshot as reference material to help answer questions about what you are looking at — it does not execute actions in the foreground app unless you explicitly ask.
Some apps block assist data for privacy reasons. Spaces does not require foreground context to function — it works as a normal conversation even when no context is available.

​
Conversation sync

Messages you start through the Android assistant use the same conversation system as the Spaces web app. Sign in with your Finkkle account and conversations will sync automatically — open spaces.finkkle.com on any device to continue.
