Mobile use

On Android, 9brains is available as a dedicated app on Google Play. On iPhone and iPad you use 9brains in the browser, and with a shortcut on your home screen it feels like a dedicated app.

Android app

You will find the app on Google Play under the name 9brains, or directly via this link: 9brains on Google Play. It runs on smartphones and tablets with Android 7 or later.

You sign in once with the same credentials you use on your computer, and from then on you have everything with you. You can speak your questions into the microphone instead of typing them, and files the AI creates for you open with one tap on your phone.

You take photos right in the app: tap the camera icon next to the paperclip in the input field, and the photo is attached to your message, for example a type plate, an invoice or a whiteboard. The camera button is available from version 1.3 of the app. In the browser and on the iPhone, the paperclip already offers the camera on its own.

Under Settings → Security, turn on unlocking with your fingerprint or face. 9brains then opens for you only, even if your phone ends up in someone else’s hands.

One thing works differently in the app than in the browser: licences, credit and storage are not sold there. The app still shows where your trial, your quota and your storage stand, but buying and managing happens in the browser on your computer. This follows the app stores’ rules for business applications.

Using it in the browser

Open the browser on your smartphone or tablet and go to the URL of your 9brains workspace (the same address you use on the desktop). The interface is responsive and adapts automatically to the screen size: chat, knowledge management, agents and settings work just like on the desktop, only in a narrower column.

Add a shortcut to the home screen

So that you can open 9brains with a single tap from the home screen, set up a shortcut.

iPhone / iPad (Safari)

1. Open 9brains in Safari
2. Tap the share icon in the browser bar
3. Select “Add to Home Screen”
4. Optional: adjust the name
5. Confirm with “Add”

A 9brains icon appears on the home screen. Tapping it opens the platform directly in a focused view without the browser address bar.

Android (Chrome)

1. Open 9brains in Chrome
2. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right
3. Select “Add to home screen” or “Install app”
4. Confirm with “Add” or “Install”

Depending on the Android version, 9brains lands as a shortcut on the home screen or as an app in the app drawer.

What works particularly well on a smartphone

• Quick chat with the AI, even on the go
• Reading and searching in knowledge management
• Chatting with existing agents or checking the run history
• Speaking your questions instead of typing, via the microphone in the input field
• Taking photos of type plates, invoices or whiteboards and having them evaluated

What works better on desktop

• Longer research and multi-step analyses
• Larger file uploads and image editing
• Configuring agents, schedules and integrations
• Administrative tasks like user management and usage analytics

Outlook: iPhone app

The app for iPhone and iPad is in preparation. As soon as it is on the App Store, you will read about it in the news.
