Most mobile AI agent demos show the agent controlling a phone screen.

What they don't show: when to not do that.

Aico's Phone Bridge layer routes per action - software fast path (calendar, contacts, clipboard, app launch) when available, HDMI + HID hardware control when not. Sometimes both in the same task.

The interesting design question isn't "can the agent control the screen?" It's "when should it bother?"

The per-action split makes sense. I'd keep the read-back step explicit across both routes: a successful bridge call and a successful HID input are different pieces of evidence from seeing the intended state. That becomes especially useful at a handoff, where replaying an action after a timeout could duplicate something that already succeeded.

Absolutely. That distinction between input execution and observed state is critical. Aico attaches post-action state data (such as visual screenshots) to close the loop, so the agent can perceive the real-world impact before deciding whether to proceed, retry, or hand off.
