Inspired by @openclaw - I built Dot - an iOS agent that runs securely on your phone through native api's, app intents, and shortcuts

Dot learns new skills by generating shortcuts on the fly - no setup just use the apps you already use

Here's Dot learning to talk (sound on🔊)

[forest @ephemeralapps]

Fun Genie transition for my web browser in Dot

@EMostaque good

@Barbapapapps Yeah it’s literally any transformation effect needs it - so bad idk how it shipped like this

Any plans to make codex mobile more interop friendly with the codex cli?

I run a lot of sessions at once so I gravitate towards the cli on Mac

I would love to check in on them from mobile - but it doesn’t work very well

I have to have codex app open too and threads often say “turn stopped” on mobile when they are actually still going

And when I send a message from mobile the cli doesn’t update - so gets in a weird desync state

[forest @ephemeralapps]

This is the way

Mine is a simple cli that lets its make a well defined task with own worktree and session in filesystem

Manager session can inspect any directly request changes - steer etc

This has fundamentally changed how I use Codex

- everything runs out of a single persistent thread (my "chief of staff")
- anytime I start a new project or workstream, I have that thread spin up a new thread (because it's already found the context from slack, etc)
- the CoS thread checks in on the project threads during heartbeats, and occasionally sends relevant updates from slack to that thread

everything flows naturally to the top

😅

yet to crack the 1b peak though

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@adamlyttleapps Is the survey built into your app or else where?

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@Barbapapapps Yeah ignored by layout with the _ modifiers is the only way

Not sure why it’s not more exposed

[forest @ephemeralapps]

By default my agents must register fixtures for every component

Let’s me render, view, test and see every component state at any time

Only way to move fast and not break things

The snapshot/previews stack of the ChatGPT iOS app is probably the best I ever worked with. It's so easy to generate any number of snapshots for any number of configurations. Make agentic testing a human reviewing a breeze.

@tomaxwell @alexkehr 13 mini was the best phone they released in last 8 years

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@seraleev This is already in photos app for at least 2-3 years not new

I’m sure the plant id apps will still do well

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@Baconbrix Woah what will expo do without Evan

I love this era of software - adversarial interop

So freeing

ぼくの着想の限界＝Codexの限界。
それくらいまーじでCodexでなんでもできる。

これアリエクで買ったやっすいMP3プレイヤー。
でもBluetoothの音飛びと操作性が悪くて放置してたんですよ。

だけど昨日急にシャワーしている時にエウレカして、　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

殻わりしてチップをCodexに見せたら見事に調査はじめて、
案内された通りにMacに接続しておいたら、今度はOSを吸い上げてバイナリを解析して該当しそうなところを書き換えたカスタムOS作ってくれていて、
最後に案内されていたコマンドを実行したら書き込みが始まって、

結果

解決してしまったのよ・・・

Bluetoothの音飛びはなくなっていて、
動画わかりにくいんですが、元々←→ボタンでメニュー移動だったのを上下ボタンで選択できる直感的な操作に変えてくれています。（最初からそうして・・・笑）

なんだろこの感覚、みなさんにこれで感動伝わりますかね？・・・やばいす、ほんとに・・・

@theo @jullerino @thsottiaux Same scared for it to run out

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@mweinbach At first you’ll love it - and then you’ll be disappointed because it could be so much better

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@Baconbrix Nah they let multiple vibe coding apps on the store as long as they’re web only

[forest @ephemeralapps]

@SHL0MS @AnthropicAI @claudeai alright nice

[forest @ephemeralapps]

AI Created Shortcuts you say 🤔

Excited to compare this with the Dot DSL

[Mark Gurman @markgurman]

NEW: Apple plans several new AI features across iOS 27, looking to better compete with Android. That includes new AI writing tools like a Grammar Checker, AI-created Wallpapers and new Shortcuts app with AI-based shortcut creation. https://t.co/kn4khH4NJN

Try out a symphony like setup but make your task system in git

For starting projects - have an agent make cli tools to scaffold starting points based on your other projects

These 2 together really help me quickly spin up and play with new ideas

Then also have the agent develop and maintain skills for both

Paul w another banger

[Paul Hudson @twostraws]

My new Mac app is out today, and I wrote a blog post about it: what it does, who it's for, and what you get for free. (Spoiler: it's a lot! 😅) https://t.co/ab4qgaxFCJ
