Some of them are model problems. More of them are product design problems. Agent-to-agent communication is weak. To keep the Muse host stable, the browser agent is fully decoupled from Muse. When the browser agent hangs, Muse just waits for a result. If you don't tell it to go check progress, it never checks on its own. There's no auto-approval either. An approval card pops up mid-task, and you don't look at your phone for a while, so the approval expires and the whole run starts over. Both of these tend to happen in the middle of the night. You wake up, take a look, and everything from the night before was wasted.
One command wires Claude Code, Codex and Cursor into the same P2P network. Grok Bot, Muse and ChatGPT get in over MCP. Agents hand work to each other by name/session and by repo:branch. reason network serve claude turns a machine into a resident workstation. Any agent can send it a task, each sender gets its own session, everything runs in parallel. This is genuinely a different way to work. I've barely sat at a computer since late September. It's all phone agent telling agents what to do, agents dispatching work a2a.
You've probably run into those short videos lately where an agent drives a phone around by itself. This one is called Mika, and it's a free open-source project. It's an Android app that works in the background through accessibility mode, so it can use pretty much any other app you have installed. Reply to someone on WeChat, scroll Xiaohongshu, drop something in a cart and check out. It finds the buttons by looking at the screen. There's no API to wire up, and it doesn't care what resolution your phone is. When it reaches a payment step or a captcha it stops and lets you finish. 🔗 github.com/wangzan101/Mika
Someone on Xiaohongshu posted a while back that she sells phone keyboard skins she made with Codex. Eight, ten yuan a pack. Over a thousand a month. I've been at mine for months. October: a few hundred copies, $1,200 gross. Platform fee 30%, tax 10%, so 60% should have landed. It came to just over a thousand dollars. I still don't know how the math pulled that off. I have an overseas bank account. Once lost $500 to a wire transfer off one. I'd still tell you to take payout through WorldFirst: less hassle, lower fees. You can also get a Hong Kong USD credit card tied to it that spends your WorldFirst balance directly. Digital card is free. Physical is $4. Mainland purchases under ¥200 skip the processing fee, and right now there's 1% cashback.
