How to check robot availability with your AI

Connect ShadowBot to your AI client to see which digital workers are active. Once connected, your agent can monitor the fleet and pull specific worker profiles.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI tell me which robots are online?

Yes. Your AI uses ShadowBot to pull a live list of active digital workers and their current status. You'll see exactly who is ready to receive new commands.

Where the data goes

Real-time worker status

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of checking the fleet so you don't have to manually poll status dashboards.

STATUS

Live availability checks

The AI identifies which robots are currently online. You get a clear view of who is ready for work.

DETAILS

Deep dive on workers

Your agent pulls specific technical profiles for any robot it finds. This includes the exact state of a worker.

PLANNING

Smart task routing

Since the AI knows who is active, it can suggest which worker is best suited for a specific command.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a robot is offline or unresponsive, the AI flags the issue. You decide how to fix the connection or restart the worker.

The workflow

What your AI does when availability is requested.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the ShadowBot fleet.

  1. Scan the fleet

    The AI scans the environment to find every digital worker currently connected to the system.

  2. Filter active workers

    It narrows down the list to show only the robots that are actually online and capable of receiving instructions.

  3. Inspect specific robots

    When you ask about a particular worker, the AI pulls its full configuration and current state.

  4. Report readiness

    The AI summarizes the findings in plain text, telling you exactly who is available to start a task.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI turn a robot on or off?

    No. The AI can only check the status of robots that are already online. You must manage power and connectivity manually.

  • 02

    Can the AI change a robot's configuration?

    No. This connector is for checking availability and details. It cannot modify robot settings or deployment parameters.

  • 03

    How often does the AI see status updates?

    The AI sees the most recent data available from the system at the moment you ask the question.

  • 04

    Can the AI assign a task to a robot?

    No. This specific task only reports on whether a robot is available. You must use a different command to actually send work.

  • 05

    Does the AI know why a robot is offline?

    The AI can see if a robot is offline, but it cannot diagnose hardware or network failures. You'll need to check your local logs for that.
