Show HN: Android AI agent-assistant operating your apps (no adb,PC,root,etc.)
TL;DR
io/sova, an Android assistant agent that actually controls and operates your apps.
Key Points
- It's not a chat and not another LLM wrapper.
- We were incredibly frustrated with the current state of mobile AI.
- Built-in assistants like Gemini are deeply integrated into the OS, yet if you ask them to "Order an Uber to the airport", they mostly just give you web search results or a button to open the app yourself.
- They don't do the work.
Nauti's Take
Sova AI tackles a real problem: mobile assistants promise a lot but routinely fail at simple app tasks. An agent that actually operates apps without root or a PC connection is genuine progress.
The flip side: accessibility access goes deep into the system — trusting these services means reading the fine print carefully. Promising for power users; worth scrutiny if you run sensitive apps.
