PokeClaw
PokeClaw is an open-source Android application that runs AI agents on-device to control phone applications and automate tasks.
PokeClaw is an open-source Android application designed to turn a smartphone into an AI-operated device. It functions as a mobile agent harness that uses a task runtime loop to allow models to choose tools, operate apps, and maintain task state. The application can run Gemma 4 locally on-device for private execution or utilize optional cloud models for more complex tasks. It interacts with the phone via Android accessibility, notification access, and foreground services to perform actions. Unlike automation frameworks that require ADB or host machines, this software runs entirely as a standalone app on the device. It provides a generic tool layer for phone control rather than hardcoding specific app flows.
