Give your AI a real Android phone
Connect your AI assistant to a real Android phone. Describe the task in your own words and watch it work in apps and on websites.
How it works
- 1
Rent a phone
Choose a real Android device on DroidDesk.
- 2
Connect your AI assistant
Create an access key in your dashboard and connect the MCP server using the instructions for your client.
- 3
Describe the task
Write what needs to be done. The assistant uses the available tools to work with the phone.
Works with compatible AI clients that support connecting MCP servers.
The guide has setup steps for Codex, Claude Code and Cursor. MCP access is included in your phone rental. Your AI provider bills you separately under its own terms.
What can your AI do on a phone?
From social media to customer conversations - describe the goal and let your assistant handle the steps.
Content & social media
- Publish videos and posts
- AI-assisted commenting
- Manage social media accounts
- Browse and monitor feeds
Conversations & clients
- Chat with customers
- Reply to messages
- Send messages
- Work with inquiries
Accounts & everyday tasks
- Register accounts
- Fill out forms
- Work with apps and websites
- Repeat tasks from templates
Results depend on the app, the state of the phone and the tools available. A CAPTCHA or an extra verification step may need your help.
AI and templates
Complete a task with AI and save suitable action sequences as templates. Then run the saved steps again from your dashboard.
Combine available templates into scenarios and set the order they run in.
Templates support opening URLs and apps, taps, text input, swipes, key presses and waiting for an expected result.
Not every task can be saved unchanged. A changed screen, a verification prompt or a missing input may still need your attention.

What the assistant can do on the phone
Available tools depend on your key permissions, client, device and rental plan.
See the screen
Read on-screen elements and take screenshots.
Open apps and websites
Launch allowed apps and open links.
Tap and type
Press buttons and enter text.
Scroll and swipe
Scroll pages and feeds, swipe up and down.
Transfer files
Send videos, photos, PDF and text files to the phone, up to 100 MiB.
Run templates and scenarios
Start saved templates and scenarios and track each run.
Device information
List your phones and search available ones by country, city or network.
Swipes are vertical for now. Direct file transfer from a chat attachment depends on your client; otherwise use the private upload page.
SMS verification
If a task needs SMS verification, connect a supported provider in your dashboard. The available tools help get a number and a code within the selected scenario.
SMS provider services are paid from your account with that provider. Number availability and successful verification depend on the provider and the third-party service.
Supported now: SMSPool and TextVerified, with your own API key.
Access control
You control which actions and devices are available to your assistant.
A separate key
Create an access key just for the assistant. It is not your dashboard password.
Permissions and devices
Allow viewing only or control, for one phone or for current and future rentals.
Paid rentals
Renting a phone through MCP needs a separate permission and a price limit.
Revoke at any time
Revoke a key and create a new one if it is lost or exposed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own AI assistant?
Yes. You need a compatible AI client with a connected model that supports the tools required for the task.
Is it a real phone or an emulator?
DroidDesk gives you access to real, physical Android devices.
Can I see what the assistant is doing?
Yes. You can watch the screen of your rented phone in the DroidDesk dashboard or app while the assistant works.
Can I repeat tasks without AI?
Supported sequences can be saved as templates and run again from your dashboard without AI. Whether a sequence can be saved depends on its steps and settings.
Can I use my own SMS services?
Yes, if the provider is supported by the current integration: SMSPool or TextVerified with your own API key. The provider sets prices and availability.
Will it work with my AI model?
Compatibility depends mainly on the client or agent: it must support connecting a remote MCP server and the tools you need. Follow the current connection guide.
What happens after the rental ends?
The assistant can operate a phone only during an active rental included in its key. After the rental ends, installed apps and their data are removed and your files on the phone are deleted, so save what you need before then.
Can the AI solve CAPTCHAs?
Some text-image and point-selection CAPTCHAs can be submitted with the available tools, but support for a particular site is not guaranteed. Sometimes your help is needed.
