Give your autonomous company a phone

Mobilerun joins the Naïve × Y Combinator Autonomous Companies Hackathon on November 7–8 in San Francisco, bringing real Android and iOS devices to builders.

A useful company workflow can stall when the next step is only available inside a mobile app. The same problem exists across countless mobile apps. An agent might find the best ride price but struggle to book it, check a supplier's website but need an app to confirm an order, or prepare a customer response but have no way to access the relevant mobile workflow.

Many everyday business tasks still happen inside mobile apps, often without an API that agents can use.

That's where giving an AI agent a phone changes things.

Bringing mobile automation to autonomous companies

At the Naïve × Y Combinator Autonomous Company Hackathon, Mobilerun is powering the Best Mobile Automation side track.

The idea is simple: build an autonomous company with the Naïve SDK, use Mobilerun to handle tasks inside real Android and iOS apps, and bring the results back to Naïve.

Instead of stopping at preparing an action, your agent can carry it out on a mobile device and use the outcome to decide what happens next.

For example:

• Creator and social media workflows: Prepare a video, write its caption, get approval and publish it through the relevant mobile app.
• Ride comparisons: Check prices across ride-hailing apps and return a recommendation based on the available options.
• Supplier management: Check order statuses inside supplier apps and use the results to update customers or trigger the next action.
• App testing: Navigate real mobile apps, execute workflows and report whether they work as expected.

These are starting points. We want to see what builders come up with when their agents can interact with real mobile applications.

Build with Naïve and Mobilerun

Teams will build their autonomous companies using the Naïve SDK and Mobilerun's mobile infrastructure.

Here's how to get started:

1. Build your agent workflow using the Naïve SDK.
2. Connect Mobilerun to Naïve using your Mobilerun API key.
3. Use a cloud Android or iOS device to execute the mobile part of your workflow.
4. Bring the result back to Naïve so your agent can continue with the next step.

For example, a creator-focused autonomous company could identify content to publish, prepare a clip and caption, complete an approved publishing workflow on a real mobile app, and report the published result.

The important part is demonstrating a working end-to-end workflow, not just an agent that explains what it would do.

What's available to participating teams?

Mobilerun is providing:

• 72 hours of device access: Android and iOS device minutes for teams to build and test their workflows.
• Six team seats: Access for up to six members per team.
• Cloud iPhones: iPhones will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

To get started, scan the event QR code, claim your access and connect your Mobilerun API key to Naïve. The Naïve agent can then handle the phone work through Mobilerun.

Join us at Y Combinator

The Naïve Autonomous Companies Hackathon takes place on November 7–8 at the Y Combinator office in San Francisco.

Build with the Naïve SDK, give your agents access to real mobile devices and show what an autonomous company can do when it can operate beyond the browser.

We look forward to seeing what you build.
