What it does
ARTEMIS turns plain-language instructions into actions on an Android phone or emulator (a phone simulated on your computer). For example, you can ask it to plan a route in a maps app and then play a song in another app.
It was built mainly for app testing. It can run test steps, record logs and screenshots, and write reports. AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex can control the phone through it.
A local web page shows the phone's screen live, lets you try instructions and replays past runs.
Who it's for
App developers and testers who want to automate testing on Android phones.
