🤖Opposable: AI Agent Controls Phones at $0.44/Task

AI Agent Can Control Your Phone, But It's Expensive and Risky

Opposable is an AI tool that can control Android and iPhone devices, but it's pricey at $0.44 per task and poses security risks. The tool uses GUI-Owl 1.5 2B for visual processing and requires sideloading an APK. Developers and users should be wary of the costs and potential security issues. The Android implementation uses accessibility services to inspect the screen, while iPhones require a companion computer. Tasks can be handled by either a paired desktop AI agent or an on-device agent that works without a desktop connection. However, the on-device agent is only available on Android devices. Opposable's accuracy is questionable, with the AI model succeeding at only 75% of tasks. The company behind Opposable has showcased its ability to open the clock app and switch to the stopwatch tab on an Android device in 96 seconds, but this kind of performance is not a sure thing.
