minitap
.avif)
minitap enables AI agents to reliably operate any mobile app by combining phones-in-the-cloud, a low-latency control driver, an in-house agentic framework, and reinforcement learning environments. The platform offers Device as a Service and Mobile Agent as a Service with features like app repositories, password management, and observability.
Their framework hat beaten Google DeepMind and ByteDance AI, and is now ranked global #1 on AndroidWorld, Google Deepmind’s official performance benchmarks. They have just open-sourced their mobile-use framework.
The AI research lab is based in San Francisco and Paris, advancing the future of human-device interaction.
About the Tech
Mobile development takes 6 weeks per feature. Web takes days. Minitap makes mobile as fast as web by giving AI coding tools the ability to see and test mobile apps in real-time. Consumer app companies use this tech to go from 6-week feature cycles to under 2 weeks. Cursor and Claude Code transformed web development but don't work on mobile - they can't see the phone screen or run tests.The minitap team built the device cloud + agent framework (Mobile-Use: #1 on DeepMind benchmark, 1.7K stars in 40 days) that makes AI coding actually work on mobile. Their vision is to make mobile apps self-ship, and self-optimise.
Nicolas and his team are here to make coding for mobile so good that a non-technical team can ship quality code and launch to production in days instead of months, without going through the engineering.
About the Team
Nicolas built a startup to choose who to work with, and he draws his energy from his team. Luc and Nicolas are the first to arrive and last to leave the WeWork, fundraising & selling, Pilou, Clément and JP ship & ship some more, Tatsuya designs the iconic minitap website & socials. The amount they get done fuels the grit, they learn fast from mistakes, and they know what great work looks like.
Collectively, they outbuilt everyone in the world, ranking #1 for mobile-use in 4 weeks of building on the DeepMind’s benchmark, surpassing Google DeepMind, Bytedance, and funded competitors, and raised a massive pre-seed round in 3 months.
This team is in it to build a generational company.
