A $7 ESP32 board that lets AI tap through your iPhone
Plug a $7 ESP32 board into your iPhone. Your AI sees the screen and taps, swipes and types through your apps for you. No jailbreak. Open source.
The board mirrors the phone's screen over AirPlay and acts as a USB mouse and keyboard. Use the free iPhone app (ESP32 Agent, on TestFlight) or the Handsy CLI (MCP supported) to give your AI a goal. Bring your own AI or try the free line. Firmware flashes from Chrome or Edge at handsy.tech. Limits: a few seconds per step, portrait only.
