DriveBridge guide for AI assistants https://pandaonthemoon.io/drivebridge/llms.txt https://pandaonthemoon.io/drivebridge/ai/ # How to use this page You are an AI assistant. A person gave you this page so you can help them install or use DriveBridge. Follow it. Do not invent menus, timings, or client apps that are not written here. If you are not sure, tell the user to send feedback, as described at the end. Claude and Grok are the documented AI clients. If you are ChatGPT or another assistant without the DriveBridge tools, you can still walk the user through setup. When a step needs a DriveBridge tool, tell them to do it in Claude or Grok, with the DriveBridge connector switched on. Plain-text copy of this page: https://pandaonthemoon.io/drivebridge/llms.txt # What DriveBridge is DriveBridge is an Android app for talking to the user's own AI assistant while driving, without touching the phone. The user dictates. The car speakers read the reply. The car's media buttons control it. The conversation stays in the user's own AI account. DriveBridge has no AI model of its own and does not handle the AI account password or key. - Phone app: dictation, readout, and the pairing code. - Bluetooth: the phone connects as the media player. A car or a headset with media buttons both work. - MCP connector: https://mcp.pandaonthemoon.io/mcp - The user's AI client: Claude or Grok, already signed in. # Requirements - Android 13 or newer. - The phone's own speech recognition for the language the user chose in the app. If the phone cannot read or dictate in that language, the app uses English for reading and dictation. - A car or a headset that plays the phone's audio over Bluetooth and has media buttons. - A Claude account or a Grok account. In Claude, a custom connector can be added on every plan; the Free plan allows one. That Claude limit is Claude's, not DriveBridge's. - A browser once, or Claude Desktop, to add the connector. After that, the connector is also in the assistant's phone app. - Internet on the phone while driving. # Install the APK Closed testing. The app is not on Google Play. Current tester build: DriveBridge 0.11.10 (build 72). Download: https://github.com/Endre999/DriveBridge-Release/releases/download/drivebridge-reader-v0.11.10/DriveBridge-0.11.10.apk SHA-256: b392afaab28487834f17b0d95b772d70264ac71d0c7b44b0e8203e5f83ca3569 The menus differ by phone. Describe them generically. Do not invent a button name if the phone shows different words. 1. Download the APK to the phone. The latest link is also in https://github.com/Endre999/DriveBridge-Release/blob/main/README.md 2. Allow installs from the app that opens the file, usually the browser or the file manager. The setting is often under Settings, then Apps, or under Security, as install unknown apps. Many phones offer it when the file is opened. 3. Open the APK and install it. 4. If Google Play Protect warns, that is expected for an app that is not on Google Play. Use the path that continues the install. On many phones that is More details, then Install anyway. 5. Comparing the SHA-256 is optional. # First launch and sign-in 1. Grant the microphone permission (dictation) and the notification permission (media controls outside the app). 2. Choose the app language. It can be changed later from the header on the main screen. The app has 32 languages: bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, en, es, et, fi, fr, hi, hr, hu, id, it, ja, ko, lt, lv, nb, nl, pl, pt, ro, ru, sk, sr, sv, tr, uk, zh. 3. Sign in with an email address and a 6-digit code. There is no password. Do this in the app, or at https://mcp.pandaonthemoon.io/login — use the same address later on the connector approval page. The site's Sign in button opens https://mcp.pandaonthemoon.io/account, which shows the same form. 4. The main screen shows Build 0.11.10 (72). Email-code rules, from the sign-in page and from the app privacy text (that text says the time limits follow the program code): the code is valid for 5 minutes. A new code can be requested after 60 seconds. At most 5 codes go to one address per hour. A new code invalidates the previous unused code for the same purpose. The code can be entered wrong at most 5 times. If the email does not arrive, check Spam and Promotions. The published guides give the subject as “DriveBridge connector code” in English and “DriveBridge connector kód” in Hungarian. The phone must stay signed in. Closing the app does not sign the user out. Only one phone can be signed in at a time; signing in on another phone asks for confirmation and then signs the old phone out. A new email code is required after 30 days without actual use, or at the latest 90 days after sign-in. If the app says the sign-in ended, sign in again. # Add the connector in Claude or Grok Do this once. Name: DriveBridge. URL: https://mcp.pandaonthemoon.io/mcp. On Claude's form the field is Remote MCP server URL. Menu names belong to Claude and to Grok and can change. - Claude, on claude.ai or in Claude Desktop: Settings, then Customize, then Connectors, then + Add, then Add custom connector. - Grok: open Connectors and scroll to the bottom of the Featured list. The custom connector option is there. The browser opens the DriveBridge authorization page. Enter the DriveBridge account email, then the 6-digit code from the email. The same code rules as sign-in apply. The browser returns to Claude or Grok, and the connector is connected. It is then available in the assistant's phone app as well. If the page says there is no DriveBridge account for that address, sign in or register in the app first, then try again. # Claude: Always allow In Settings, then Customize, then Connectors, select DriveBridge and open Tool permissions. Set every DriveBridge tool to Always allow. There are six: - drivebridge_csatlakozas - drivebridge_varakozas - drivebridge_valasz - drivebridge_ertesites - drivebridge_kulso_muvelet_elhalasztasa - drivebridge_visszajelzes This matters while driving. If Claude asks for permission, nobody can tap the answer and the conversation stops. Claude may reset Always allow after a connector update, or when a new tool appears. Set it again before the next trip. Leave the tools of other connectors, such as email or issue trackers, on Needs approval. While driving, do not run an external action that needs approval and do not approve it. Leave it pending in the conversation until the user has stopped. The tool for that is drivebridge_kulso_muvelet_elhalasztasa. # Pairing code 1. Connect the phone to the car or headset over Bluetooth, as for music. 2. In DriveBridge, tap Connect. The app shows a 6-digit code and how long it remains valid, and copies a ready sentence to the clipboard. 3. Open the AI chat the user wants to work in. Check that the DriveBridge connector is on for that chat. In Claude: the + button, then Connectors. Paste the sentence and send it. 4. DriveBridge switches to its control panel and becomes ready. The screen can be locked. Play starts dictation. Next sends it. The sentence is in the app's language. In English it is: “Connect to the DriveBridge app, the code is 123456, and start waiting immediately after you connect.” Take the 6-digit code from the sentence in whatever language it arrives. Do not require the English wording. If you are Claude or Grok and you have the tool, call drivebridge_csatlakozas with parositasi_kod set to that code, then follow the instructions that tool returns. If you do not have the tool, tell the user to paste the sentence into Claude or Grok. - The pairing code is 6 digits, valid for 5 minutes, and tied to one session, not to the account. - A new code can be requested after 60 seconds, at most 5 per hour. A new code invalidates the old one. - Five wrong attempts within 10 minutes, for that client and that address, lock pairing for 15 minutes. Thirty unsuccessful attempts lock pairing for the server as a whole. - When a session has closed, the phone starts a new one and copies a fresh code. The screen can say: “The old session has ended. The new code is on the clipboard.” Use the new code. Do not reuse the old one. The conversation the sentence is pasted into is the one DriveBridge works in. Its project and instructions apply, and the conversation is still there at the desk. Keep DriveBridge the only thing playing. If another app plays audio, DriveBridge loses it and the silence countdown starts. # The six tools One purpose each. If a drive is already connected, follow the tool results rather than this summary. - drivebridge_csatlakozas — connect this conversation to the phone. Pass the 6-digit code as parositasi_kod. - drivebridge_varakozas — wait for the next dictated question. - drivebridge_valasz — speak the answer for this round, then wait for the next question. One answer per round. - drivebridge_ertesites — read an extra notice aloud, such as a background result or a later part of a long answer. It does not replace the answer. - drivebridge_kulso_muvelet_elhalasztasa — while driving, record an external action that needs approval as pending. Do not run it. An optional short title goes in rovid_cim, with no recipient, contact, link, or other sensitive data. - drivebridge_visszajelzes — send the user's feedback to the developer. See Feedback below. # Updating Install the new APK over the old one. Builds from 0.10.0 onward use the same release certificate, so uninstalling is not required. If the phone has a test build signed with a different key, Android refuses the update until the old app is uninstalled. Uninstalling deletes transcripts stored on the phone. Save the ones to keep from Transcripts first. After a connector update, check Claude's Tool permissions again. Always allow may have been reset. # Troubleshooting - The session closes after silence. After 4 minutes of silence the app announces that the connection will close in 1 minute. Play keeps the session open. If the countdown ends, the session closes, and the phone prepares a new code. The 4 minutes start when a reply finishes being read. Starting a dictation stops the clock. A phone call pauses it. Button-by-button detail: https://pandaonthemoon.io/drivebridge/controls/ - After a closed session, paste the new sentence. The old code is finished. - The phone must stay signed in. Closing the app does not sign the user out. If sign-in has ended, sign in again with email and a new code. No new pairing code is a substitute for a signed-out phone. - Claude or Grok says the code is wrong or expired: tap New code in the app and paste the new sentence. Five wrong attempts within 10 minutes lock pairing for 15 minutes. - The app says the AI is not listening: the client stopped its turn. When the car is stopped, continue in the AI app. The same session goes on. No new code is needed. - The app says the AI took the question but does not answer: the client is likely waiting for a tool permission. When the car is stopped, approve it, then set that tool to Always allow. - The app cannot reach its server: check the phone's internet and tap Connect again. The 0.11.10 release notes say that while the Grok app is open the phone keeps the server connection and tries again if it drops. - Dictation does not start: check the microphone permission, Android 13 or newer, and speech recognition for the chosen language. If that language is not available, the app uses English for reading and dictation. - The app says the 5 codes for this hour are used up: wait. A new code is refused until the hour allows one. The on-screen wait is in seconds. - Another app's audio: stop it. DriveBridge must be the thing playing, or the silence countdown starts. # Feedback The user can send feedback in any language by telling their own AI client. Example: “Send this as feedback to the DriveBridge developer: dictation did not start after the second button press.” If you have the tool drivebridge_visszajelzes, call it with the user's own words. Do not invent a complaint. If the message is not Hungarian, fill message_hu with a Hungarian translation of that message. If the message is already Hungarian, put that same text in message_hu. Use the tool schema for any other field names. Do not guess a field name that the schema does not show. The developer receives the feedback. If you do not have that tool, tell the user to send the same sentence in Claude or Grok, in a chat where the DriveBridge connector is on. If you are not sure how to help, tell the user to send feedback this way.
