Steps
- 1Download the latest Mika APK from GitHub Releases and install it on an Android phone (Android 11+ required, Android 14+ recommended).
- 2Open the "Device Operation Setup" wizard in Mika settings to pair wireless debugging once (or skip and grant accessibility permissions when prompted).
- 3Add your LLM provider and enter your API key under "Models" in settings (or log in with ChatGPT).
- 4Type a natural language command on Mika's chat page (e.g., "Send a message to File Transfer Assistant on WeChat" or "Find flights on Google Flights"), and the AI will execute it automatically on the background screen.
- 5Monitor progress, interject, approve actions, or stop the task at any time using the floating pill on the edge of the screen.
Ideas for Chinese platforms
This capability can be adapted for automated operations on platforms like Xianyu or Xiaohongshu: using an agent combined with a background screen to simulate human actions on mobile devices for browsing items, replying to messages, or interacting with content, enabling automated multi-platform account management.
