Coati agent runs on-device for faster, more reliable mobile task execution

Researchers have developed Coati, an installable Android app designed to improve the performance and reliability of mobile GUI agents. Coati operates directly on the phone, allowing it to observe the effects of actions and app states, which traditional agents running over ADB cannot fully access. This on-device execution enables features like VerifyLoop for more accurate task completion checks and AppMemory for reusing learned procedures, significantly reducing task completion times and model token usage. AI

IMPACT Enhances the efficiency and reliability of mobile AI agents, potentially leading to broader adoption for on-device task automation.

    Coati: Host-Grounded Execution for Installable Mobile GUI Agents

    Mobile GUI agents can carry out tasks across apps, yet most run on a separate computer that drives a phone over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), out of reach of ordinary users and of the apps through which most people reach Web services. We present Coati, a source-available agent …
