What works on mobile

On your phone, you can:

  • Ask patient and non-patient questions.
  • Search for and select a patient.
  • Use available patient and clinic context.
  • Attach supported photos and files.
  • Dictate a prompt with voice input.
  • Review recent chats and chat history.
  • Use saved prompts. If Workflows appears for your account, run a Clinic Workflow; otherwise, use the available Missions.
  • Use suggested follow-up questions.
  • Ask Sidekick to draft messages, summaries, handoffs, and plans.
  • Use Tasks directly to view, create, edit, assign, comment on, search, filter, complete, reopen, delete, restore, or create Tasks from a template.
  • Use Team Chat to read and send clinic messages and reply in threads.

Run a Clinic Workflow on mobile

If Workflows appears in mobile Sidekick, tap the workflow you need to run it. The process continues separately in your clinic’s secure virtual workspace, so you do not need to keep the phone page open while it runs.

Return to Sidekick or the workflow Task to follow progress and review the result. A Clinic Workflow can use only the systems and information prepared for that workflow; starting it on mobile does not give the phone direct access to the EHR page open in desktop Chrome.


What requires desktop Chrome

Use the Tabflows Chrome extension on a computer when you need Tabflows to:

  • Know which EHR or connected-system page is currently open.
  • Read the active patient page directly from the browser.
  • Capture the active page automatically. See 👉 How to control Sidekick screen awareness
  • Click buttons, type, paste, or navigate inside a connected system.
  • Use Magic Buttons displayed beside your work.
  • Open or move between connected-system tabs through extension controls.
  • Complete filing or other browser-driven actions in the EHR.

Why the difference exists

The phone experience runs in a normal mobile browser. It does not have the desktop Chrome extension riding beside your EHR.

Sidekick's server-based knowledge and conversation tools can still work on mobile. Browser automation needs the desktop extension and the relevant connected-system tab.


Best mobile-to-desktop workflow

  1. Use mobile Sidekick to research, summarize, draft, or plan.
  2. Ask Sidekick to make the next step explicit.
  3. Save the result in the conversation or create a Task.
  4. Return to desktop Chrome for any action that must happen inside the EHR.
  5. Verify the final result in the source system.
