Some feedback from my Claude who already drives my iPhone through Appium, for what it’s worth: Honestly, no, not for what you use the phone for today. It does the same job with a nicer setup, and it would cost you something on privacy. What Tapkit is: a Mac app that lets agents tap, swipe and type on a real iPhone, over cable or Wi-Fi. Agents drive it through an MCP server or a REST API. $49 a month per phone. What we already have: the agent iPhone does all of that through Appium. It reads the screen as text, taps by label, installs apps, signs in with saved passwords and reads 2FA codes from banners. It also queues agents so two don't fight over the phone. Its signing lasts until September 2027 and renews itself. Where it might be better, though I can't confirm any of it: - Stuck prompts: its site says it handles locking, unlocking and 2FA. On Sunday a stuck passcode prompt blocked our phone for hours and needed you there in person. If Tapkit clears those on its own, that's a real gain, but the site doesn't say how. - Reliability: it doesn't depend on Xcode's test tooling, which is what broke on Sunday. - Fewer moving parts: no Xcode, and no helper app to rebuild. Where it's worse: - Privacy: it sends commands through their API, and the site doesn't say whether your screen passes through their servers. That phone shares your Apple ID, so your iMessages land on it. I wouldn't send that screen to a startup that launched today without reading its privacy policy first. - Cost: $49 a month for something that already works. - Unknown: it's brand new, so nobody knows yet how reliable it is. My take: skip it for now. If the phone jams on a stuck prompt again and our fix doesn't hold, that's the moment to trial it on the agent iPhone. Only after the privacy policy confirms your screen stays on the Mac.

appreciate the look, this is pretty spot on. my take on the appium stuff is that its literally for testing, automation is an after thought and then agentic use is an after after thought tapkit is a platform that makes your iphones max useful to your agents with minimum setup building something on your own is always an option but not everyone is technical enough to do all of that developer mode on its own is also a massive security risk FWIW and we don't require that

teej23 hours ago

trust will for sure be built over time, we wanted it to be easy so we made some product decisions, more ways to use tapkit will be unlocked in the future!

Caelin1 day ago

How is this compared to appium or existing open source solutions?

teej1 day ago

we don't require any developer mode or xcode downloads, it's also fully productized so as a user you dont have to do anything or put anything on your phone, just use the app or connect it to your agents

what is the difference between using the mac's iphone mirroring app with chatgpt?

teej23 hours ago

a few things - the iphone mirror app has limits on what you can do, like payments - the iphone mirror app is limited to the same icloud, so a second phone wouldn't work - the iphone mirror app only does one phone at a time - chatgpt is the best at computer use but you cant like hook it up to muse or grok then

I asked Garry Tan how to use meta prompting to get better at AI: "My partners at YC Jared Friedman and Pete Koomen showed me how to do this. You can take almost anything that you do all the time and just drop it into a context window. And then say, “Here’s a bunch of inputs and outputs." And maybe you also add a bunch of notes. And then you tell it, “Write me a prompt that can act as an agent that takes this input and makes this output over here.” You can do this for almost any type of knowledge work. And you can even introspect. "What are things you notice that I did to convert this from the input to the output?”. And then you can just start using the prompt. Initially, it’s going to suck. Because it’s just not that smart yet. But what’s funny is now, I also use it to Iterate my writing. You can be very direct, "I would never say that", "Don’t say it like this", or "Oh, you used the long word there, use the short word". Just speak to it conversationally. And then when you're happy with the output, you can use that new output to make a new prompt. "Based on this conversation, give me a better initial prompt that incorporates all the things we talked about." And you can do this with literally everything. And in theory, there’s so much it applies to that people do day-to-day. You could use it for tweets. You could use it for editing podcasts. You can use it for pretty much everything. I have a folder of prompts that I use all the time. My YouTube prompt is on v27 or something. I'll go through this process with all the different max models. I'll use GPT 5.2 Pro. I’ll use Grok. I'll use Claude. Then, I’ll take all the outputs from all the models and put them into Claude and say "Here’s my prompt, here’s the output from four LLMs, including yourself. Rate each response and tell me what the pros and cons of each approach are." And I usually say "give it to me in numbered form". And then you can agree with one, disagree with two, tell it three is this or that. And then after that, you say given all of this, synthesize it."

Imagine an AI application that can type anywhere you can and use the full context of what's on your screen. This is the application we all deserve (at least if you have macOS.) Check out Omnipilot. It's an app that works with every other macOS application and uses Claude Sonet 3.5 in the background—it also supports Gemini and GPT-4o. Here is the idea: You can use the tool to ask questions about anything on your screen. Or you can use it to autocomplete the text you are typing. You don't need to copy and paste anymore or waste your time providing context to a model. It sees what you see. It works right where you are. That's pretty cool. Here are a couple of cool examples: • Use it to reply to an email • Use it in the terminal to autocomplete a command • Use it to finish a document • Use to send a message on Slack AI at the system level is bonkers. You can read a ton more on their Product Hunt launch page: Thanks to the Omnipilot team for collaborating with me on this post!

It takes 5 minutes to create a world-class web research agent that runs 24/7 and returns structured search results. 1. You can limit the sources it's allowed to use 2. You can specify the goals it needs to complete 3. You can design the format structure of the results 4. You can configure how much computing power it will use I show you how to set up a Web Search Agent in the video. A few benefits here: 1. This is great for complex research tasks 2. It's really easy to add this like a LEGO piece to a more complex workflow 3. Create an agent once, and reuse it with different inputs 4. The agent adapts to your use case as you work with it By the way, Nimble published a whole library of templates and research agents you can reuse and modify. You can start sending queries to one of these existing agents, and it will begin to adapt to Go here to try it out: Thanks to the Nimble team for partnering with me on this post.

Introducing Open Source AI CRM, that runs on your OpenClaw. A few weeks ago, we launched Ironclaw (An Open Source OpenClaw CRM Framework) which now has around 1.4k stars. A lot of people confused us with NearAI’s Ironclaw, so we changed our name to DenchClaw. OpenClaw today feels a lot like early React: the primitive is incredibly powerful, but the patterns are still forming, and everyone is piecing together their own way to actually use it. What made React explode wasn’t just React itself, but the emergence of frameworks like Gatsby and Next.js that turned raw capability into something opinionated, repeatable, and easy to adopt. That is how I think about DenchClaw. We are not just building on top of OpenClaw; we are trying to make it one of the clearest, most practical, and most complete ways to use OpenClaw in the real world. We are an OpenClaw Framework, we are aiming to be the most correct way to use OpenClaw. We entered Y Combinator with Merse (AI Audio Comic), it was an app that I personally never used. Michael Seibel confronted us on it, and said, “if you aren’t the best user of your consumer app, then who is?”. I now use DenchClaw daily for everything I do, it also works as a coding agent like Cursor, DenchClaw built DenchClaw. I am addicted to DenchClaw now that I can ask it, “hey in the companies table only show me the ones who have more than 5 employees” and it updates it live than me having to manually add a filter. On Dench, everything sits in a file system, the table filters, views, column toggles, calendar/gantt views, etc, so OpenClaw can directly work with it using Dench’s CRM skill. The CRM is built on top of DuckDB, the smallest, most performant and at the same time also feature rich database we could find. It creates a new OpenClaw🦞 profile called “dench”, and opens a new OpenClaw Gateway… that means you can run all your usual openclaw commands by just prefixing every command with `openclaw --profile dench` . It will start your gateway on port 19001 range. You will be able to access the DenchClaw frontend at localhost:3100. Once you open it on Safari, just add it to your Dock to use it as a PWA. Think of it as Cursor for your Mac which is based on OpenClaw. DenchClaw has a file tree view for you to use it as an elevated finder tool to do anything on your mac. I use it to create slides, do LinkedIn outreach using MY browser. DenchClaw sees what you see, does what you do. It’s the everything app, that sits locally on your mac. All yours. Just ask it “hey import my notion”, “hey import everything from my hubspot”, and it will literally go into your browser, export all objects and documents and put it in its own workspace that you can use. P.S. It comes with Garry Tan's GStack built in.
