What PhoneUse does

Phones for AI agents: gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf or your own code a phone through an MCP server, API or CLI (12 tools such as acquire phone, read screen, tap, type, swipe, open app, read SMS). Choice of cloud Android phones (boot in ~4s) or real retail iPhones/Androids with real SIMs in a San Francisco rack, tapped by a robot stylus and read by camera so apps can't detect automation.

Good for

  • Automate mobile-only apps with no API (posting, replying, ordering)
  • Receive SMS/2FA codes so agent logins don't stall
  • Test mobile flows across many devices

Try this in 10 minutes

  1. Automate mobile-only apps with no API (posting, replying, ordering). Pick one real example from your own business and try just that.
  2. Receive SMS/2FA codes so agent logins don't stall. Put the result next to how you do it today. Is it faster, cheaper or better?
  3. Test mobile flows across many devices. Note what you had to fix by hand before you'd show it to a customer.

Honest take

No red flags in our notes so far

  • Founder @abdullababakre.
  • Source: phoneuse.com.
  • Caution: automating social apps and passing 'device integrity checks' to look human may breach app terms (e.g.
  • Instagram/TikTok); 2FA via an agent-held phone is a security trade-off.
