QCCBot – Android in a browser tab, with AI agent control

Eight months ago I watched a friend manage three walls of phones for his cross-border e-commerce operation — charging, swapping IPs, constantly worrying about bans. I asked myself: do people actually want the boxes, or just the Android environment inside? We built QCCBot to answer that. Full Android instances running on ARM servers, streamed to a browser. Open a tab, you get a phone. No hardware, no cables, no charging 100 machines on rotation. We have real users now — cross-border e-commerce, TikTok ops, app testing, remote work. Honestly, our users found the use cases before we did. What…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Eight months ago I watched a friend manage three walls of phones for his cross-border e-commerce operation — charging, swapping IPs, constantly worrying about bans. I asked myself: do people actually want the boxes, or just the Android environment inside? We built QCCBot to answer that. Full Android instances running on ARM servers, streamed to a browser. Open a tab, you get a phone. No hardware, no cables, no charging 100 machines on rotation. We have real users now — cross-border e-commerce, TikTok ops, app testing, remote work. Honestly, our users found the use cases before we did. What we're building toward next: AI agents that don't just view the Android environment — they operate inside it. Open apps, execute tasks, monitor state, report back. No human in the loop for routine operations. The infrastructure piece we just shipped: • Task execution API (OpenAPI) • Script template store (~30 templates, pick a behavior and deploy it) • AgentV2 running in private deployment • ADB-based agent control via OpenClaw integration Current honest limitations: • Streaming latency is still a work in progress • Fingerprint simulation isn't perfect • Full autonomous operation is still being built out • We got roasted by power users when we redesigned the UI (fair) We've collected more scars than features. Still early. But real users are telling us what sucks every day — that's worth more than praise. Try it: qccbot.com Happy to go deep on the ARM virtualization approach, the agent control layer, or the streaming architecture. Also genuinely interested in whether anyone building AI agents has hit the "need a persistent mobile environment" problem.

    Hey HN! I built an open-source Python library that lets AI agents control mobile apps. Its heavily inspired by browser-use Here's a quick demo https://x.com/itsericktorres/status/1932996729458110482 From our experience testing mobile workflows or automate repetitive app tasks has always been a pain. You either write brittle UI automation scripts or do everything manually. And after testing out browser-use and seeing all the cool things people were building for web without the pains of normal automation I decided I wanted to build something like it but for mobile So I…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
