- Mobile-use is an open-source AI agent for controlling Android or iOS devices via natural language commands.
- Features include natural language control, UI-aware automation, data scraping, and extensibility with different LLMs.
- Currently ranked #1 in Opensource pass@1 on the AndroidWorld benchmark.
- Setup requires environment variables, Docker, and either an Android device/emulator or iOS simulator (macOS only).
- Supports tasks like navigating apps, extracting structured data (e.g., JSON), and customizing LLM configurations.
- For Android, requires ADB and USB debugging; for iOS, Xcode is needed (physical iOS devices not yet supported).
- Installation involves cloning the repo, setting up a virtual environment, and syncing dependencies with 'uv'.
- Example commands include checking battery levels or scraping unread emails from Gmail.
- Contributions are encouraged, with guidelines provided, and the project is licensed under MIT.
