Hey HN, I made Droidrun, an open-source tool that lets AI agents execute tasks directly in Android apps by mimicking human interaction. It allows you to build agents that interact with Android UI elements using natural language prompts or goals. I created a layer that simplifies Android app interaction for LLMs by analyzing the UI structure and identifying interactive elements like buttons and input fields (using Accessibility Services). This enables you to design custom mobile app automation and scraping functions without needing specific APIs or complex reverse engineering. Hasn't mobile automation been done a lot of times? Good question. While tools exist for testing (like Appium), Droidrun focuses on enabling flexible AI agent control across any app. I think a lot of people are going to try to make their own mobile agents from scratch

, so the idea is to provide the groundwork/library for the hard parts, so developers don't have to repeat these steps: Parse Android UI structure in an LLM-friendly way (identifying elements, states, descriptions). Provide robust primitives for interacting with any UI element (taps, swipes, text input). Create reusable components for mobile agent perception and action. The vision: create repeatable tasks across Android apps just by giving your agent a goal, without worrying about the specific UI steps. To better showcase the power of direct UI interaction, I made a few demos: Droidrun explainer: Video Link: https://x.com/droid_run/status/191244635898166087 Droidrun posts 'Hello world' on X: Prompt Idea: Open X -> Press post -> New Post -> Insert 'Hello world' -> Post Video Link: https://x.com/droid_run/status/1910714055251157141 Droidrun finds cat videos on TikTok & comments: Video Link: https://x.com/droid_run/status/1911769757956665478 I’d like feedback on how this tool fits into your mobile automation or AI agent projects. Try it out (GitHub: https://github.com/droidrun/droidrun) and let us know how it performs on your end. Our website if you need more information: droidrun.ai We are a team of four members and just open-sourced this after getting great initial interest (900+ waitlist signups after 72 hours!).
