# Automate Gmail on a real phone.

Your agent signs in to your own Gmail on a real Android or iOS phone with genuine hardware identity. It triages, sends, follows up, catches OTP codes, and runs e-sign flows.

## What agents do in Gmail.

- **Triage the inbox**: Point your agent at your own Gmail to read, label, archive, and flag what needs a human, fast and cheap across your threads.
- **Send and follow up**: Draft, send, and chase replies from your authorized account. Agent writes, waits for the reply, and follows up on schedule.
- **Receive codes and sign**: Get your own OTP and 2FA codes on the device, then carry them into the flow that needs them. Run e-sign flows end to end.

## Why a real phone.

Gmail was built for phones, not scripts. Your agent runs on a real Android or iOS device on real hardware, with real device and agent identity: it passes the checks real apps run. That legitimacy is why your mail sends, codes arrive, and sessions hold.

- Authentic device identity. A real phone with a real number reads like an ordinary user's device, so your authorized mail stays deliverable.
- Any model, any stack. Drive Gmail from the model you already use over API, SDK, or MCP, or hand it to a chat VA.
- Cheaper by default. Your agent reads the accessibility tree, up to 90% cheaper than vision-only, and the real phone is pay as you go, stateful on request.

## Example tasks

- Log into my Gmail, search for the receipt sender, mark it important, archive the reply
- QA the Gmail login screen, enter credentials, assert the inbox loads
- Open Gmail, compose a test email, attach a photo from the gallery, send it
- Monitor my Gmail inbox for new order alerts and return each as JSON
