When something needs a little attention
Use the symptom to find the right layer of setup.
Settings search → the affected capability
Before you begin
A compatible Mellow build with the relevant capability configured.
Capture the exact symptom
Note the action, time, selected model or destination, and visible error. Avoid repeatedly submitting a task that may already be running.
Check the prerequisite
Use the table to inspect the specific capability. A working nearby feature does not prove this one is configured.
Retest narrowly
Change one relevant setting and repeat a small harmless test. Verify the final outcome rather than relying on a Ready badge alone.
Controls & reference
| Control or concept | How to use it |
|---|---|
| No chat response | Inspect selected model readiness, provider sign-in and any pending approval. |
| Voice hears but does not type | Check Transcription Mode, Accessibility access and the focused destination. |
| No cloud agents | Check workspace identity, publication and role permissions. |
| Remote Mac unreachable | Check host availability and the pairing route. |
| Model load fails | Inspect the exact error, compatible runtime and available memory. |
| Message only drafted | Inspect channel posting mode, approval and Outbox delivery status. |
Try it with a small task
For a voice issue, record whether Setup recognizes the phrase, whether Transcription is enabled, and whether the intended text field receives the words.
If it does not work
- Do not share tokens, access links or unreviewed logs when reporting a problem.
- Record the installed app version; instructions for a different build may not match your controls.
