It's used to indicate that the speaker thinks the situation is not particularly good, but still acceptable. It's mostly used in speech and not writing.

Examples:
"Okay so my computer is broken, but I can still work on my phone."
"They're late, but okay they still have a few minutes to get here."
"The road is out? Okay, we can take the detour."
