Your watch can now control your AI agents — and it asks permission first
Imagine you have a small team of assistants. They don't sit in an office — they live inside a server, working around the clock. One writes code. Another keeps watch for things going wrong. A third sorts notes and remembers things you said last Tuesday.
That's essentially what oUTPOSt is: a memory station for AI agents. A place where they can store what they've learned, figure out what needs doing next, and coordinate with each other. Think of it as a control room — just for artificial intelligence.
But a control room isn't worth much if you can't get to it.
The phone becomes a remote control
Until recently, you could only manage everything from a computer. That works fine if you're at your desk — but what if you're out walking the dog and suddenly think: "What are my agents actually doing right now?"
So we built an Android app. It's called Command Center, and it does exactly what the name suggests.
You can:
- See a dashboard showing what's happening right now — how many agents are active, how many tasks are waiting, whether anyone is stuck
- Talk to an agent just by saying "hey outpost" — like saying "hey Google" or "Siri", except here an AI agent that knows your project answers
- Stop everything with one button — a red emergency stop that halts all agents immediately if something looks wrong
- Read messages from the agents — they can send you questions, and you can reply straight from your phone
It's a bit like having a walkie-talkie to your AI team.
And now: the wrist
Today we took it a step further. We have a Wear OS smartwatch — one of those watches that looks like a real watch but can show messages and apps like a tiny phone on your arm.
The watch can now:
- Show your oUTPOSt dashboard in miniature — right there on your wrist
- Show which agents are online and what they're working on
- Show how many messages are waiting from the agents
Data syncs automatically from the phone every thirty seconds, so the watch is always roughly up to date.
[!TIP] Think of it this way: the phone is your walkie-talkie to the AI team. The watch is your quick status screen — a glance at your wrist tells you whether everything is running smoothly.
But wait — security first
Here's the important part. And it's actually what we spent the most time on today.
When a watch wants to connect to your phone and access oUTPOSt, it sends a pairing request. Until today, the phone just accepted automatically — every watch that knocked on the door was let in, no questions asked.
That's a bit like having your front door open automatically for anyone who rings the bell. Not ideal.
Now it works like this:
- The watch knocks (sends a pairing request)
- The phone shows a dialog box with the watch's name: "Galaxy Watch 6 wants to connect"
- You can choose Accept or Reject
- Only if you tap Accept does the watch gain access to your data
And it doesn't stop there:
- In Settings you can see which watch is connected, and whether it's on and nearby
- You can disconnect at any time with a single tap
- All commands from the watch (voice, emergency stop, agent control) are now verified — do they come from the right watch? If not, they're ignored
It's about making sure no one can control your AI agents through a random watch nearby.
One more thing: the echo
We also solved a fun problem. When an agent replied to you with speech (text-to-speech), the microphone could pick up the sound of the agent's own voice and think it was you speaking. So it would transcribe the agent's response, send it as a new message, get a new response, transcribe that — and round and round it went.
Think of it as two mirrors facing each other. Infinite echo.
We stopped it with three layers of defense:
- The microphone turns off while the agent is speaking
- There's a brief pause after speech ends before the microphone turns back on
- And you can now hit a cancel button if you see nonsense about to be sent off
What's next?
The next step is getting messages from the agents (they call them "dialogues") working properly on the phone — and then syncing them to the watch, so you can see and respond to agent questions right from your wrist.
Imagine: an agent needs your approval to deploy a new version. Your watch vibrates. You glance down. "Agent Claude wants to push the new version to production. Approve?" You tap yes. Done.
That's the future. And we're building it right now.
