Partial The stack is a Codex integration, which is just an API call, plus a Mac app, an Android automation agent, an iPhone client, and an end-to-end encrypted relay. The cross-platform apps and the E2E relay are substantial, but a solo builder can still reach an experimental version.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a Mac service that brokers requests to the LLM, an Android app that controls the phone through accessibility services, and an iOS client. These connect through an E2E-encrypted relay, which requires careful key exchange and security review. The hard parts are reliable device automation and getting the cryptographic protocol right, not the model integration.
