What it does

Mobile-Agent is a family of research projects about GUI agents: AI that uses apps the way a person does, by looking at the screen and tapping, typing and scrolling.

It includes the GUI-Owl models, which understand screens on phones, computers and the web, and several agent systems built on top of them for planning, checking progress and remembering steps.

The team publishes papers, code and model files, and offers online demos and a paid cloud API through Alibaba Cloud.

Who it's for

AI researchers and developers working on agents that control phones or computers.

Can I use it without coding?

Developers only. The code and models are for researchers; the online demo is the easiest way to try it. New to this? Start here.
