Field notes
The page describes a host CLI working with a persistent Android-device service, and its examples show parsed interface elements with text, resource IDs, and tap coordinates. Commands can check a destination after an action; the diagnostic example returns a crash verdict, exception details, and suggested follow-up commands. The homepage reports speed and token reductions from a 21-task benchmark, but those figures are self-reported.
