Geek Demo: Driving Raspberry Pi Controlled Phones with Gemini and CLI Tools

hugs · x · 2026-08-13

A developer showcased a fun geek experiment: using Google Gemini combined with tools like Antigravity CLI, Vibium, and Roadie to successfully drive a Google Pixel and an iPhone to automatically send knock-knock joke texts.

The core highlight of this system is hardware control: the two phones are mostly unmodified and plug-and-play, both controlled via a Raspberry Pi 4. The Android phone works as-is without needing ADB or developer mode, while iOS requires Accessibility Mode to be enabled for USB mouse and keyboard input. Additionally, the next version of Vibium will introduce Firefox support and WebM video recording.
