I sometimes say things on Bringing iOS sight to AI agents with @HaptixDev, but also generally just managing context.

@gregisenberg lol it’s hard having the easiest job in town.

[David Geere @davidishim]

@atmoio @hnshah Real at the end of a sentence, or load-bearing if we can pretend that’s it’s one word 😬

[David Geere @davidishim]

@jameygannon @tbpn Wait really?! I figured you would have been here many times before!

[David Geere @davidishim]

@LinusEkenstam You’d hit some speed going from Mason down California!

[David Geere @davidishim]

@vyshnav_xyz These look so far apart to me, so many differences, not even close, they just happen to be in the same category of fonts

[David Geere @davidishim]

@LandseerEnga Or using @HaptixDev ?

[David Geere @davidishim]

Hey @claudeai do you know what would be really cool, is if we had triggers in Claude Code (Desktop) so that if an event happens it can route to a specific or new session. Kind of how Codex automations can be assigned to a pinned chat... same but with triggers like file changes, web hooks etc.

[David Geere @davidishim]

Hey @figmaweave it would be really awesome if my flows could be exposed as API endpoints that has expected inputs and an output.

Also, would be great if I could link text to a live source or even a local text file, and have it be able to export text to a location too.

These would be game changers (for me at least).

@drewwilson Wait really?!

[David Geere @davidishim]

Super useful!

@Jia_builder The one that resolves without error :)

[David Geere @davidishim]

What I've learned in building it and testing a whole bunch of apps with it is that there's no hard and fast rule for any of this stuff.

Developers just build how they build. So I had to build a toolbox, not just a hammer or screwdriver, then ensure the agent could navigate its use as needed.

[David Geere @davidishim]

I use both, but most reliable is semantic, so at times you need to pair coordinates with semantic. You may or may not be shocked at how poorly things are named. So I had to create tools to take that into account. Also when you get into cases where Metal or SpriteKit etc was used it gets funky. (and this is the case in lower iOS versions and the newest, because while the iOS version goes up the apps might still have been built for a lower iOS)

[David Geere @davidishim]

@m13v_ @armanddp Totally :). Lol Haptix isn’t theoretical, it exists and works. :)

[David Geere @davidishim]

I mean again the amount of skills notes you do like depends on how you manage your agents, and and what model you use. I find that Claude needs very little detailed notes it’s more just like broad workflow notes.

I realise where the disconnect is for you Haptix doesn’t run on your iPhone, it runs on your Mac and drives your iPhone from your Mac and so as you said there’s a lot of different libraries exposed on the Mac. These are the libraries that I built the foundation on. Haptics has complete access to the tree from the status bar all the way down to the lowest element across every app.

That access is not the hard part, it’s not blowing up the system each time when you get inundated with too much data that creates a long running process. So there’s a lot of thinking in logic around delivering the right element given what’s on screen.

[David Geere @davidishim]

@m13v_ @armanddp Oh and it’s not always the same device, depends on what I’m doing I’ll switch it between a device with ios18 one day and ios26 the next… so changes eh it’s just a skill note :)

[David Geere @davidishim]

I built Haptix so it doesn’t pixel match, it works with the elements on screen. So plug in a iphone mini v/ max or ipad same out comes, change the UI you update the skill for that app on that device or broadly. You should give it a spin. Or check out the videos where I have it drawing, then posting to X, or check the Weather. One of them even deals with permissions. As your agent uses it you want to make sure it develops its memory so it can be faster each round. I have Codex managing an Instagram account, it creates the images, videos, adds it to Photos on mac mini, that syncs with device, agent opens IG makes post, opens Photos on iPhone, hides those photos to keep stream clean. Then goes around replying to comments, hearting things, etc etc.

[David Geere @davidishim]

Like haptix is used via cli or mcp, so runner could control the phone connected to that machine pretty trivially. It short cuts the need for expensive or hard to use or get API. Ever tried setting up api access to Instagram? It sucks, X you pay for posting and reading. Or you just connect a device to your machine, get Haptix (https://t.co/DaHORwadSm) and your agent (runner in this case) does it on your device.

[David Geere @davidishim]

@m13v_ @armanddp Have you tried @HaptixDev? You can work cross app pretty easily. While desktop is where the surface wins sure, but a ton exists only on mobile. Like TikTok, Instagram etc

[David Geere @davidishim]

If @elonmusk is a drug addict he is the most high functioning one in the world, like he is more high functioning than pretty much anyone… so on drugs and functioning above literally everyone else, what’s the issue?

Also, the body movement seems like annoyance more than what you think it is (I’m assuming you mean Colombian marching powder?). I can also imagine how hard it must be having everyone blast their opinions of you everywhere, must be exhausting, frustrating and likely results in a ton of stress most can’t grasp or likely survive.
