Core-Mate has introduced OpenGUI, an Android GUI agent framework designed to empower AI with the ability to interact with mobile applications. The framework allows AI agents to 'see' and comprehend Android app interfaces, formulate plans, and execute operations on real devices. It is built to handle long-running tasks, maintaining task state and enabling recovery through its Plan Supervisor and Executor Graph components.
OpenGUI supports multiple operational modes, including direct operation of mainstream Android apps like X, Reddit, and Telegram. It comes with a runnable backend, an Android client, and built-in task capabilities. Developers can use tools like Claude Code or Codex to bootstrap the setup, build, and installation processes. The framework also facilitates remote operation, allowing tasks to be dispatched via platforms such as Feishu, Telegram, Discord, or a REST API, with structured results returned from the backend. Model routing is implemented to separate planning from VLM execution roles.
The latest release, v0.1.1, includes a debug APK for Android device testing, adding GitHub Star entry points within the app and a successful phone task prompt with a GitHub Star action. It also features hardened local startup procedures to prevent common port conflicts during Docker-based backend setup and improved backend onboarding with environment file examples and startup checks.
