Ghosthand gives AI agents a real iPhone to beat captchas and bot detection
ethanniser · x · 2026-11-05
Developer @morse introduced ghosthand for grok bot, a setup that lets an agent operate a real iPhone.
- Motivation: agents are smart enough to do real work now, but keep getting stuck on captchas, bot detection, and anything requiring a phone number, a phone, or an app
- The approach is to hand the agent an actual iPhone to handle those steps
