01 · Use cases

What agents do in YouTube.

01

Publish and schedule uploads

Upload videos to channels you own or manage. The agent sets title, thumbnail, and go-live time, then confirms each post.

02

Pull channel analytics

Read views, watch time, and subscriber changes on channels you manage. The agent captures them and returns structured data.

03

QA playback and flows

Test how a video plays, buffers, and renders on real Android and iOS. Spot a broken embed or stuck player before viewers do.

02 · Why a real phone

Why a real phone.

Emulators and headless scripts behave nothing like the real app, so uploads stall and reads fail. mobilerun runs it on real phones on real hardware, with real device and agent identity that is compatible with Play Integrity and App Attest, so uploads, reads, and QA stay solid.

  • Authentic hardware identity. Real phones, not emulators or spoofs, so your agent acts as the account owner. Legitimacy, not evasion.
  • Any model, your stack. Drive the real phone over API, SDK, or MCP, or hand a task to a chat VA.
  • Reads the screen, not just pixels. The agent parses the accessibility tree, up to 90% cheaper than vision-only, and runs pay as you go, stateful on request.

03 · FAQ

YouTube automation, answered.

Can I automate YouTube with an AI agent?
Yes. mobilerun gives your agent a real phone running the YouTube app. It can publish, schedule, read analytics, and QA playback on channels you own or are authorized to manage.
Do the real phones read as a real device?
Yes. Every task runs on a real phone that is compatible with Play Integrity and App Attest, so your agent is treated as a normal user on genuine hardware. The goal is legitimacy and reliability, not evasion.
Which channels can I automate?
Only your own channels or clients' channels you have permission to manage. mobilerun is built for authorized, first-party automation and QA, never mass account creation.
