Google open-sources ARTEMIS, letting AI agents control a real phone end to end
dr_cintas · x · 2026-09-21
Google open-sourced ARTEMIS, a tool that lets AI agents control a real Android phone like a human: give it a plain-English task and it sees the screen, finds elements, taps, swipes, navigates, and verifies outcomes. It connects to coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) over MCP.
- 99%+ task completion on AndroidWorld, 100+ multi-step tasks
- 3-5 seconds per step in Flash mode
- Element targeting fusing accessibility, OCR, and vision
- Screenshots, execution traces, and diagnostics on every run
- Python SDK for test pipelines
Example: tell Codex to build an APK, install it, log in with a test account, walk the checkout flow, and flag unexpected popups with screenshots — directly useful for QA, mobile testing, and debugging.
