The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a status check.

The AI moves from broad network scanning to specific device inspection to find your problem hardware.

  1. Scan the network

    The AI first gathers a complete list of all screens currently managed in your account.

  2. Check connectivity

    It looks at the real-time connection state for every device found in the initial scan.
