# Use Finkkle Spaces as Your Android System Assistant

> Set Finkkle Spaces as your default Android assistant to open a conversation overlay over any app and continue your work seamlessly on the web.

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install the Finkkle Spaces app">
    Download and install the current Finkkle Spaces Android release from the Play Store.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set as default assistant">
    1. Open Android **Settings**
    2. Go to **Apps → Default apps → Digital assistant app**
    3. Select **Finkkle Spaces**
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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:

| Included                   | Excluded                   |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| App package name           | Password fields            |
| Activity name              | Hidden accessibility nodes |
| Page URL and title         | Assist-blocked content     |
| Visible non-sensitive text | Screenshots                |

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.

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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](https://spaces.finkkle.com) on any device to continue.
