Ask for the outcome, not each tap.
OpenPhone gives the agent system-level context, screen reading, input, and app control so it can move through real phone workflows.

OpenPhone
A customized Android OS for agentic phones. Built so an AI can see the screen, operate apps, monitor phone events, and continue useful work in the background.
The phone is the most practical place to make agents real.
It already has your apps, identity, messages, notifications, calendar, camera, microphone, location, and daily workflows. OpenPhone turns that surface into a system-level AI runtime instead of another assistant app trapped behind its own UI.

CAPABILITIES
What changes when the agent is part of the OS.
Co-exist on the same surface.
The agent is not only an automation bot. It can watch, react, and talk with you while you scroll, compare, watch, write, or decide.
Turn phone events into triggers.
Messages, notifications, calls, time, location, and foreground state can start background runs that do useful work when context changes.
Runs are visible and reviewable.
Longer tasks can continue after the current turn while OpenPhone keeps a visible record of what is running, why it started, and what needs review.
SURFACE
A phone surface for live work, watchers, and runs.
USE CASES
Examples from the launch.
Repetitive phone tasks
Ask it to do the boring multi-step work inside apps: open the right app, fill the right fields, verify progress, and keep going.
Watch example ->Same-screen companionshipUse it while you browse, watch, or vent. The phone becomes a shared surface instead of a separate chat window.
Watch example ->Event-triggered agentsCreate rules like: when a message, notification, or call arrives, inspect the context and decide what to do next.
Watch example ->Scheduled internet-aware updatesAsk for recurring briefs, checks, or follow-ups that combine phone state with fresh information from the web.
Watch example ->Install it, port it, or build on it.
OpenPhone is for builders who want to experiment with agentic phones on existing Android hardware and push computer-use agents into the place where everyday work already happens.
