About the startup

Gotcha is the world's first AI co-pilot for Android that controls your phone in natural language! 📱✨ While desktop systems have seen rapid adoption of autonomous AI coding and workflow agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode), smartphones—the devices we rely on most—have remained static. Current mobile AI apps are merely cloud-bound text boxes. You ask a question, get text back, and still have to open apps and tap buttons manually. Gotcha changes everything. It connects natural language directly to your phone's OS, bridging Android Accessibility Services for visual UI navigation and Termux for Linux shell execution. You talk, it acts! --- 🌟 KEY FEATURES & CAPABILITIES: 🗣️ Natural Language Phone Control Just speak or type what you want to do. Gotcha interprets your intent, breaks it down into actionable steps, and operates your installed apps autonomously. 👁️ Screen Lens Vision & Auto-Tap Powered by Android Accessibility Services, Gotcha perceives what's currently on your screen, taps buttons, scrolls lists, and fills forms just like a human assistant would. 💻 Termux & Linux Bash Integration Gotcha isn't limited to UI taps—it includes native Termux shell execution. Run Python scripts, execute CLI automation, manage local files, and launch custom terminal tools directly via voice commands. 🔒 100% On-Device & Privacy-First Smartphones contain your most personal data. Gotcha gives you total data sovereignty with zero cloud telemetry. Bring your own local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio, Qwen 2.5) or connect cloud APIs using encrypted on-device keys. Your data never leaves your device! ✨ Out-of-the-Box Samosa AI Integration Don't want to host your own local LLM? Gotcha comes out-of-the-box with Samosa AI and Samosa AIR for instant, high-speed reasoning with free usage. 🐙 100% Open Source (GNU AGPLv3) Fully transparent, community-driven, and open-source. No hidden tracking, no locked features, and no vendor lock-in. --- 💡 REAL-WORLD USE CASES: • "Open Settings, find Apps, and enable Dark Mode" • "Scan my phone storage and find large unused files" • "Run my morning Python script in Termux and read me the summary" • "Check my recent notifications and summarize them" • "Configure my local AI provider to use Ollama on localhost" --- 🎯 WHY WE BUILT GOTCHA: Existing voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant) are rigid command matchers that can't navigate apps or run scripts. Closed-source AI wrappers log your screen data to cloud servers. Gotcha was built by the Samosa AI team to give users a powerful, autonomous, open-source AI agent that respects privacy and turns any Android device into a true smart co-pilot. --- 🔗 LINKS & COMMUNITY: • 🌐 Website: https://samosa-ai.com/ • 🐙 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/samosa-ai-com • 💬 Community & Discord: https://discord.gg/rsgXSpcWNq Try Gotcha today and experience the future of mobile AI automation! 🚀
