How to check device availability with your AI

Connect your agent to the Perfecto cloud grid to get instant updates on hardware status. Once connected, you can query specific devices or groups without logging into the dashboard.

Short answer

How can I see which devices are free to use?

Your agent pulls live data from your cloud grid to show which mobile and web devices are ready for testing. It can also identify which specific machines are currently tied up in active reservations.

What your agent can report

Real-time grid status

The AI pulls live data from your grid to answer these four things.

INVENTORY

Live device lists

The agent pulls a full list of every mobile and web device in your grid. You get a clear view of what's in your inventory right now.

GROUPS

Group availability

The AI checks specific device groups to see if the hardware you need for a test run is ready. This helps you avoid scheduling conflicts.

RESERVATIONS

Active lock status

Your agent identifies which devices are currently reserved. You'll know exactly which machines are busy and why.

HUMAN

Manual grid management

The AI only reads status. You still need to log in to the Perfecto console if you want to manually add new hardware or change account settings.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about hardware.

The agent acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Perfecto cloud.

  1. Scan the grid

    The agent looks through your entire cloud inventory to find matching hardware.

    list_devices

  2. Check specific sets

    If you need a specific type of phone or browser, the agent narrows the search to those groups.

    list_device_groups

  3. Identify busy devices

    The agent checks which devices are currently held by other processes or users.

    list_reservations

  4. Report findings

    The agent summarizes the availability so you can decide if it's time to start a test.
