The open-source prototype supports bring-your-own LLM and is self-hostable under AGPL licensing.", "body_md": "Aiden is a physical AI agent device that operates the phone you already have.\n\nIt watches the screen over HDMI and controls it over USB HID, so it can drive any app with no jailbreak, no ADB, and nothing installed on the phone.\n\nBring your own LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local). No backend, no data collection, self-hostable, AGPL.\n\nIt’s the dev board, not a finished product, but it’s the real working core, and we’d rather build it in the open. If you’re into agents, embedded, or self-hosted AI, I’d love your eyes on it", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-aiden-mobile-agent-prototype-in-the-making", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/the-aiden-mobile-agent-prototype-in-the-making/177120#post_1", "published_at": "2026-06-24 08:30:41+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-24 08:49:51.986670+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Aiden", "OpenAI", "Anthropic", "AGPL"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-aiden-mobile-agent-prototype-in-the-making", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-aiden-mobile-agent-prototype-in-the-making.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-aiden-mobile-agent-prototype-in-the-making.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-aiden-mobile-agent-prototype-in-the-making.jsonld"}}
