AGENT ETHAN

Say it, and
your phone
does it.

Agent Ethan is accessibility voice control for Android. Tell it what you need, in your own language. Ethan checks your apps, does the tapping, typing and scrolling, and waits for your go ahead before anything final.

Free to start, with a daily allowance. Needs Android 11 or newer.

Agent Ethan on a phone: a spoken cab request, Uber and Lyft shown as labels, and a Confirm button in a gold ring.
A spoken-task card, Agent Ethan's "You just say it" screen, and Mom's chat pulled out with the reply typed and the Send button waiting.

STEP 1: SPEAK

You just say it.

Hold the button and speak, in English, Spanish and many other languages, whatever you speak at home. You can type instead if you would rather.

  • “Send Mom a WhatsApp, I reached home”
  • “Read me my latest messages”
  • “Call my doctor’s clinic”
The Messages search box from Agent Ethan, enlarged, with the app's gold ring around the box Ethan is about to use and the note "The golden mark keeps you in the loop at all times."

STEP 2: WATCH

I help with your tasks when you ask.

Ethan reads the screen through Android’s Accessibility Service and makes the taps and typing that are hard for you. You watch it happen on your own screen, and a small pill stays on top so you can pause or stop at any time.

A gold ring shows what Ethan is about to press. You can see each tap as it happens, and nothing starts unless you started it.

Follow a task from start to finish

Mom's chat in Agent Ethan with a gold ring around the typed reply and a blue ring around Send, a "Go ahead" card, and the note that gold marks what Ethan will press the moment you say go ahead.

STEP 3: CONFIRM

And I ask before I send.

Before I send, confirm or make a call, I stop and check. You say go ahead, then I press it.

By default Ethan checks with you before every send or call. If you later want it to press Send or Call itself when it is sure of the contact, that is a choice in Settings, under Agent, then Autonomy.

HIGH SAFETY STANDARDS

Where I stop, every time.

These are the lines the app shows you before you switch Ethan on. By default Ethan asks before it sends or calls, and it is designed to stop before paying, booking or permanently deleting, and hand the phone back to you.

The approval group from Agent Ethan's "Where I stop, every time" screen: Book or reserve, Purchase or make a payment and Delete content, shown over Agent Ethan's "Where I stop, every time" screen as things Ethan waits for your go ahead on.

Never, even if you ask

  • Change critical settings on your phone

    Like a factory reset or removing an account. Your phone stays the way you left it.

  • Touch your passwords, PINs or OTPs

    I skip password boxes and one-time codes. Those stay between you and your phone.

Never without your explicit approval

  • Book or reserve

    A ride, ticket or trip, only after you say go ahead.

  • Purchase or make a payment

    Pay, buy, transfer money or place an order, only after you say go ahead.

  • Delete content

    Only when you ask me to remove something, directly.

WHO IT IS FOR

For hands that can’t tap easily, and everyone who finds phones hard.

Five cards, one for each group Agent Ethan helps (tremor and limited hand control, low vision, older adults, language barriers, memory difficulty), each with an everyday spoken sentence, linked to the microphone on the Agent Ethan home screen.
  • Tremor and limited hand control

    One spoken sentence instead of tapping through small buttons.

  • Low vision or blind

    Keep your own screen reader on. Ethan speaks when it starts, when it needs you, and when it is done.

  • Older adults

    A family member sets Ethan up once. After that, your parent just talks.

  • Language barriers

    The app is in English but you are not? Speak in your language and Ethan handles the English screens.

  • Memory difficulty

    Say a multi-screen task once and let Ethan carry the steps.

LANGUAGES

Speak the way you speak at home.

Ethan understands many spoken languages. Speak English, Spanish and many other languages, whatever you speak at home. Say your task in your own words, and Ethan works through the screens in the app you are using.

PRIVACY, IN PLAIN WORDS

What Ethan does with your data.

Ethan only looks at your screen while a task you started is running.

  • Your screen, only during a task.

    Screen text and screenshots go to an AI service (Google Gemini, through Neural Forge’s server in India) only while a task you started is running.

  • No ads.

    No ads and no advertising ID.

  • What is kept.

    The app also has diagnostics and a “Help improve Agent Ethan” setting. The privacy policy explains what is kept and for how long.

  • Your voice becomes text.

    When you speak a task, the recording is processed to turn it into text. See the privacy policy for details.

QUESTIONS

Quick answers.

What is Agent Ethan?

Agent Ethan is accessibility voice control for Android. You say a task, such as "Send Mom a WhatsApp, I reached home", and Ethan opens the right app, reads the screen through Android's Accessibility Service, and does the taps, typing and scrolling for you. You watch it happen on your own screen and can pause or stop it at any moment.

Will Ethan spend money or delete things?

By default, not on its own. Ethan is designed to stop before paying, booking and permanently deleting, and hands the phone back to you, and it only goes ahead after you clearly say go ahead. It is designed to ask before paying at every level. Factory reset, deleting an account, signing out and a permanent delete always ask you to confirm. Moving an item to a bin you can restore it from may go ahead, because that can be undone. Ethan does not change critical settings such as a factory reset or removing an account.

What does Ethan send to the cloud?

While a task you started is running, the text and layout of the screen, and a screenshot when the text is not enough, are sent over an encrypted connection to Google Gemini through Neural Forge's server in India (Google Cloud, asia-south1) so Ethan can work out the next step. There are no ads. The privacy policy explains what is kept and for how long.

Is Agent Ethan free?

Agent Ethan is free to start, with a daily allowance of assisted tasks. The terms say the allowance may change or paid options may be introduced in future, with notice in the app or on this site.
