# Drive X on a real phone

Give an AI agent a real phone running X on Android or iOS, with a hardware fingerprint with real device and agent identity. Schedule posts, watch mentions, pull numbers, QA.

## What the agent does on X

- **Publish on a schedule**: Queue posts for your own or a client's authorized account. The agent taps through the real X app at set times, like a person.
- **Monitor mentions and keywords**: Point the agent at your handle, brand terms, or a hashtag. It watches the feed and digests replies worth a human's time.
- **Pull your analytics**: The agent opens your analytics, reads impressions, engagement, and follower moves, exports on a cadence. No scraper guesses.

## Why a real phone beats a script

X behaves like X only on a real device. mobilerun gives the agent a real Android or iOS phone on real hardware, with real device and agent identity, so it passes the checks real apps run. What you automate matches what a person sees, no emulator gaps.

- Real hardware, not a spoof, so your authorized first-party automation reads as normal use. Posts, mentions, and analytics behave as they should.
- Drive it with any model over API, SDK, or MCP, or hand tasks to a chat VA. It reads the accessibility tree, up to ~90% cheaper than vision-only.
- Real phones are pay as you go, stateful on request. Keep a session signed in, pay for the minutes you use, and stop when you are done.

## Example tasks

- log into our brand account on X, post the scheduled announcement, pin it
- QA the X signup: fresh install, verify by SMS, assert home feed loads
- monitor our support mentions on X and export new ones as JSON
- reply to authorized DMs on X, then log each handled thread as JSON
