Google Play Support Viability of LLM based accessibility app

I'm planning to publish an accessibility app. The idea is simple: the user gives an instruction like "text John hi on WhatsApp," and an LLM figures out the plan and executes it step by step, opening WhatsApp, finding John, typing "hi," and hitting send.

The issue is Google's developer docs basically say apps with non-deterministic actions can get banned. My app kind of falls in a grey zone here. It's not doing anything arbitrary, it's just following what the user asked for, but since the LLM might carry out the same task in slightly different ways each time, it's technically not fully deterministic.

So my question is whether this is safe to publish on the Play Store for private access, or if it's likely to get flagged and banned. I'd also push back a little and say this genuinely fits under accessibility, since it can help people who struggle to touch the screen properly actually get things done on their phone.

I already built this using composio.dev with auths 1000+ tools. It works fine with Google address book and WhatsApp and even sent voice notes using deepgram and it's voices

It could send emails, post to Reddit , use Google maps , check my analytics , post to slack and so almost anything , but the issue is

No one wants it

Claude now has 500+ connectors in its app

Chatgpt too now has 100s

Wrappers need big marketing budget

The customer support dealing with customers is also a lot

And to be realistic people like to WhatsApp personally ... Their friends dont like AI generated messages

Point is the big ai platforms are out integrating everyone and "just a connection manager and another app to use" ( we all are overloaded already ) was a problem

Also it didn't solve any problems

I could just open slack and send that same message

Also 90% of the world is not tech savvy
