MikaLink to this section
Mika is an agent framework - An on-device AI agent for Android that operates apps and the web to get things done for you.
OverviewLink to this section
An AI assistant on your phone: say what you need, and it works your apps and the web until it's done.
It works on a hidden background screen, so you can keep using your phone.
"What did the group talk about today?" Scrolls through the chat in the background, then sums it up "A charger under $30, rated 4.5 stars or more" Adds the pick to the cart and stops before checkout "What has this creator posted lately?" Opens the app, reads post by post, then sums it up
Several demos use apps popular in China: WeChat is the main messaging app there, and Xiaohongshu (RED) is a lifestyle and social platform. Mika isn't tied to them; it works with any app or website on your phone.
- Install: download the APK from Releases. 2. Connect a model: in Settings › Model, pick a provider and enter an API key, or just sign in with an account (models and sign-in). 3. To operate phone apps: follow the "Set up phone control" wizard in Settings and pair wireless debugging on the phone once (setup guide). Skip this if you only want chat, web and files.
Mika is open-source, written primarily in Kotlin, with 8,278 GitHub stars under the Apache 2.0 license. The latest release is v0.1.40 (2026-11-12).
