Incoming notifications can initiate assistance, and interactive chat uses the same conversations, memory and local resource lookup. The phone coordinates the agent loop and executes supported operations through notification actions, Android APIs and AppFunctions exposed by cooperating apps, with user confirmation by default for outward actions.</p> <p>The model service is configurable: use a cloud API or an OpenAI-compatible local server, including one running on the phone. For example, a photo request can trigger a local search and present candidate images. The user selects a photo, requests sharing, and confirms the image and recipient.</p> <h2 id="demo-video">Watch the demo</h2> <video class="pittisl-demo-video" controls playsinline preload="metadata" width="1920" height="1080" aria-label="MobileClaw demonstration: notifications, local context and user-confirmed actions" poster="/uploads/mobileclaw_mobicom2026_demo-preview.jpg?v=20261023-narrated"> <source src="https://pittisl.github.io/uploads/mobileclaw_mobicom2026_demo.mp4?v=20261023-narrated" type="video/mp4"> <a href="https://pittisl.github.io/uploads/mobileclaw_mobicom2026_demo.mp4?v=20261023-narrated">Download the demonstration video (MP4)</a>. </video> <p><a href="https://pittisl.github.io/uploads/mobileclaw_mobicom2026_demo.mp4?v=20261023-narrated">Download the video (MP4, 1920 × 1080, 2 min 59 sec; English narration and subtitles)</a>. <a href="https://pittisl.github.io/uploads/mobileclaw_mobicom2026_demo.en.srt">Download the English subtitles (SRT)</a>.
