Use case
Mobile QA or automation staff facing a phone app with no open API need an AI agent to perform taps and typing on a real iPhone to complete regression testing or repetitive workflow tasks.
Manual operation on real devices, or accessibility-layer automation scripts such as Appium, which still need human fallback for closed apps.
Apps without APIs can only be exercised by hand on real devices, making regression testing and repetitive flows slow and hard to scale; accessibility-layer scripts also fail on closed apps and still need human fallback.

Demand is evidenced
Trend: agents are moving from browsers and desktops into the closed environment of phones, and working around missing APIs is the new entry point. Entry: start with mobile app testing and regression checks, which have clear pass/fail criteria, and charge per device-hour or per test task rather than building a general phone assistant.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Inference: compared with tapping devices by hand or maintaining fragile accessibility scripts, it lets an agent drive a real device directly, removing the burden of writing and maintaining scripts, so QA and automation staff for no-API apps would choose it when they need to cover closed apps; however, public material gives no stability, success-rate or customer evidence, so sustained adoption cannot be confirmed.
