Poki

Poki is an open source agent framework that allows AI agents to control iPhones using the iOS accessibility tree and native touch synthesis.

Poki MCP and Poki Agent are open source tools that let AI agents control an iPhone through the iOS accessibility tree and native touch synthesis. The system runs on a Mac with Xcode and connects directly to an iPhone without needing external hardware or a jailbreak. Users can send tasks through Messages, the terminal, or MCP clients like Claude Code and Codex using their own subscriptions. Verified execution runs compile into reusable routes so similar tasks take shorter paths over time. It can operate real iOS apps and system interfaces like WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Maps, Alipay, Notes, Reminders, Trip.com, and Calendar.
