AI agents that operate real Android apps, with you in control
Run AI agents on a real Android phone. Read screens, tap, type, swipe, and operate allowed apps without an API, with human approval before writes.
A mobile AI agent observes the current Android screen, decides the next bounded action, taps, types, or swipes, then verifies the result. Melaya Device Control runs on a paired real phone, limits the agent to allowed apps, and pauses for human approval before publishing or other protected writes.
Computer use, but for the phone
Many important workflows end inside an app that has no practical API. Mobile agents use the visible interface, so they can work with the same controls a person sees. That reaches mobile-only and integration-poor apps, but it also means the workflow must handle screen changes, interruptions, permissions, and ambiguous UI state.
Melaya separates reasoning from device execution. A chosen model can propose steps, while Device Control performs bounded gestures on the paired Android phone and records what happened.
The safe mobile-agent loop
A reliable loop is observe, decide, act, verify, and stop. The agent reads the current screen, chooses one permitted action, performs it, and confirms the expected state before continuing. It should not assume a tap succeeded or that the next screen matches a memorized sequence.
- Per-app allowlist
- No root and no jailbreak requirement
- Approval before protected writes
- Replayable action and decision history
- Explicit timeout, retry, and return-to-Melaya behavior
Where mobile agents fit
Good candidates include repetitive navigation, draft preparation, cross-app data entry, exploratory Android testing, and workflows blocked by missing APIs. Poor candidates include unsupervised financial actions, safety-critical device control, CAPTCHA bypass, or any workflow that violates an app's rules or a person's consent.
Melaya currently targets Android. It should not be evaluated as an iPhone-control product or as a replacement for a large device-farm testing service.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mobile AI agent?
It is an AI agent that can observe and interact with a mobile interface, usually by reading screen state and performing gestures such as taps, typing, and swipes.
Does Melaya need an API for every app?
No. Device Control can operate the visible Android interface, which is useful when a suitable API or connector is unavailable.
Does Melaya control iPhones?
No iPhone control is claimed. The current Device Control product is for Android.
Can the agent publish without approval?
Protected publishing actions are intercepted and staged for human approval. The user can review or edit the draft before it is submitted.
