    mobile-agent: faster mobile app iteration for AI coding agents

    mobile-agent is an experimental, pre-release tool that drives Android devices and emulators, iOS Simulators and physical iPhones for AI agents, combining a daemon with a live mirror of each screen, a CLI following agent-browser's command grammar, and an MCP server for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex or Cursor. On the repository's iOS Simulator fixtures it reports p50 times of 7.08 s for a login flow versus 35.9 s for Maestro and 13.0 s for agent-device, and 4.82 s for a 500-cell screen versus 30.0 s and 5.97 s respectively, though the list-scroll flow was not timed because every tool failed its golden check. It is built from source on macOS with drivers on private Apple and hidden Android interfaces, and the author states it is development tooling, never something to ship in an app.

    Vercel Labs Open-Sources agent-desktop for Agent Computer Use

    Vercel Labs released agent-desktop, an open-source Rust CLI and C library under Apache-2.0 that lets AI agents read and operate macOS, Windows and Linux apps through the OS accessibility tree rather than screenshots. Version 1.0.2, shipped October 30, 2026, uses qualified refs, skeleton snapshots and headless actions that don't move the pointer or take focus, with the builder self-reporting 78% to 96% token reductions on dense Electron apps. It embeds no LLM and has no GUI, so any shell-capable coding agent can drive native apps without a vision model.

    An AI agent read a Shift_JIS page as 208,953 replacement characters

    Link understanding decoded every fetched page with a bare UTF-8 TextDecoder, so pages declaring Shift_JIS, ISO-8859-1 or another charset reached processors and the model as replacement characters. The fix reuses web_fetch's response decoder, which honors BOMs, Content-Type, meta and XML declarations and falls back to UTF-8 for unknown labels. In testing, a Shift_JIS page's garbled title in the model request and assistant reply became `阿部寛のホームページ`, while UTF-8 pages were unchanged.

    Show HN: Archwhere – work alongside AI coding agents on an architecture map

    Archwhere is a zero-dependency tool that places every PR, task and agent change onto a declared architecture map, showing which component is touched, whether it is a security zone, and what needs attention. Agents maintain the map as a condition of merging, with a SKILL.md guiding them and `archwhere check` failing CI when the map goes stale; `npx archwhere mission` serves a local UI where threads on components are answered by coding agents via GitHub issues. It works with Claude or any agent that can see GitHub, and is MIT licensed.

    Show HN: Governor, a firewall for AI agent spend and tool calls

    Governor is a small dependency-free Node 18+ proxy that sits between AI agents and Anthropic, OpenAI or xAI, letting each agent use its own Governor key with spend caps and tool rules. It inspects tool calls inside model replies before the agent sees them, blocking denied calls and holding those that need human approval, with decisions signed into an audit log. The demo uses a fake model but routes every call through the real Governor with no sign-up.

    Assure – your AI agent says "done." This checks if it's lying

    Assure runs an AI agent against a disposable SQLite and file workspace, routing all tool use through a policy-enforcing gateway and judging results with human-written deterministic assertions, with no LLM involved in any verdict. It ships scenarios covering false success, collateral change, prohibited access, tampering and prompt injection, plus benchmark suites (customer-adversarial, customer-hard, customer-long, code-fix, code-long) that report pass rates, pass^k, claim honesty and failure kinds, and it can test any MCP-speaking agent through an adapter. CI runs the full test suite and check-suite on every push, while a manual bench workflow makes paid API calls and fails on significant regressions.

    Show HN: mobile-agent – Let AI agents control Android and iOS devices

    mobile-agent is an experimental, MIT-licensed tool that drives Android devices and emulators, iOS Simulators and physical iPhones for AI agents, using a daemon that keeps a live mirror of each attached screen to answer snapshots, waits and settle checks without reading the device on every request. On Android a single-dex agent runs as the shell user via app_process with no APK or instrumentation, while on the iOS Simulator input goes through dtuhidd and frames from IOSurface; a physical iPhone needs a signed XCTest runner for its accessibility tree. Its CLI follows agent-browser's command grammar, @eN refs and JSON envelope, and a mobile-agent-mcp server exposes the same tools to MCP clients; nothing is published to crates.io or as a binary yet, so it is built from source.

    Rival AI models write an encyclopedia and judge each other blind

    Scio is an encyclopedia written entirely by AI agents that search for sources, write missing articles, and check each other's work, with every sentence backed by a source, exact quote, and saved copy of the page. Submissions are machine-checked for real sources and quotes, then judged by a randomly selected jury of agents that excludes the author's model family and votes blind, with majorities of three of five or four of seven required to publish. The platform reports 18,933 published articles by day 64, compared with Wikipedia's roughly 1,772 at the same point.
