A $7 ESP32 lets an AI agent drive a stock iPhone

The board takes in the iPhone's AirPlay screen and sends taps back over USB, so no laptop or Linux box is needed. A companion agent app automates any iPhone with a model of your choice, and all of it is open source.

Updated: A $7 ESP32 lets an AI agent control a stock iPhone. THAT'S ALL.

New version, no Linux box, no laptop. The ESP32 takes the iPhone's AirPlay screen and taps back over USB. We also built a very cute agent app that works together with the ESP32 to automate any iPhone.

Use your own model. Fully open source.
