Aiden
A physical mobile AI agent for the phone you already have
What this is
A physical open-source USB device that watches your screen and can operate your phone or computer by voice, entirely offline with zero data collection. Built for makers and privacy-focused tinkerers.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A physical USB device that plugs into any phone or computer, watches the screen over HDMI, and sends taps and keystrokes over USB HID to operate real apps the same way a person would — no app install, jailbreak, developer mode, or API required. It captures the screen, sends it to an AI model of your choice, decides the next action, and repeats until the task is done; voice mode runs on-device.
- What's different
- Works one layer below software integrations, so it can operate any app you can see and tap, including ones with no API or accessibility layer.
- Best for
- Makers and privacy-focused users who want to automate phone or computer tasks entirely offline without granting an app API access.

AI. Launched 18d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 4 votes. Today, the site itself changed 2d ago — evidence it's still shipping, not just announcing.
Quiet for 2 days — no penalty yet, but quiet doesn't stay free.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”

Beyan değil kanıt: founder “çalışıyoruz” diye post atabilir, ama sevk ettiyse izi kalır. ⚠️ Kaydı olmayan ürün “sevk etmedi” demek değildir — o üründe izleyecek bir kaynağımız yok demektir.
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 4 votes. It also showed up on 1 other board — but didn't place well enough on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 2 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 14 olay var. 3 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
Aiden is a physical mobile AI agent device that plugs into any phone or computer via USB and operates it for you — tapping, typing, and navigating real apps the way a person does. The problem: most "AI agents" can think but can't act. They're limited to apps that expose an API or accessibility layer, so the apps you actually use every day stay out of reach. You end up with a very capable chatbot that still makes you do the work. Aiden solves this by working one layer lower. It watches the screen over HDMI and sends input over USB HID — the same channels you use — so it can operate any app you can see and tap. No app to install on the phone, no jailbreak, no developer mode, no API required. How it works: Aiden captures the screen, sends it to an AI model you choose, decides the next action, and performs it — then repeats until the task is done. Voice mode runs on-board with sub-100ms response, wake-word-free. Open and private by design: bring your own model (OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local LLM), with no Aiden backend, no data collection, and a fully self-hostable, open-source setup you can audit. Your screen, voice, and data stay under your control. While the headline-grabbing AI agent phones aren't expected to ship until 2028, Aiden works on the phone you already have — today. The firmware is open-source and currently runs on a development board as we build in the open. Built for the AI-Native Era.
Where it launched
2 platformsThe board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
