Aiden
Aiden is a physical AI agent device that plugs into your existing smartphone, enabling autonomous phone control without relying on APIs, jailbreaking, or custom apps. It leverages visual automation, using the phone's screen as an interface, to interact with apps just as a human would. The device processes inputs locally with edge AI, ensuring low-latency actions while maintaining privacy through on-device consent mechanisms and detailed audit trails. Built for the AI-native era, Aiden empowers users to automate complex mobile workflows across any application. Its hardware form factor integrates seamlessly with your phone, providing a secure and auditable way to delegate tasks such as testing, data entry, and multi-app orchestration. The system uses USB HID and ADB protocols to simulate touch and gestures, with safeguards that prevent unauthorized actions. Aiden addresses the limitations of traditional mobile automation by removing the need for backend API integration, thereby unlocking the ability to control any app regardless of developer support. It is designed for both personal productivity and enterprise automation, offering a scalable solution for repetitive phone-based tasks. The device receives regular updates and is backed by a suite of management tools for monitoring and controlling agent behavior.
