## What it is
DroidClaw is an AI agent that controls Android phones via ADB, using a perceive-reason-act loop over accessibility trees and screenshots to accomplish plain-English goals. It turns old Android devices into autonomous agents that tap, type, and swipe like a human, without needing app APIs.

## Use cases
- turn old android phones into ai agents
- automate whatsapp messages on android without apis
- control an android phone with plain english commands
- delegate tasks to chatgpt or gemini apps on a device
- automate repetitive app workflows across multiple android apps
- run deterministic ui automation flows on android

## When to choose
- you want llm-driven ui automation on android without app APIs or integrations
- you have spare android devices to repurpose as automation agents
- you need cross-app workflows driven by natural language goals

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, licensed production tool (no license is provided)
- you need iOS or desktop automation
- you require guaranteed deterministic behavior without LLM costs or latency
