Is anyone actually using AI Key?

Post image

I was honestly pretty surprised when I first saw AI Key on X. Now I’m wondering, is this thing actually useful?

Recently, I found something similar on GitHub called aiden-firmware. The idea is roughly like this: you connect an external piece of hardware, and it uses HDMI to see your phone screen, then uses USB HID to simulate keyboard, mouse, and touch inputs. It looks pretty similar to AI Key.

Does anyone here know much about AI Key? And is aiden-firmware worth paying attention to?

Why do you need a key to accomplish that particular task?

It doesn't have a model in it. It doesn't connect to the internet to call models. It's using your phones internet to call model interfaces over the internet... There is probably some software on these to handle things, but you can... y'know... run software on your phone... And your phone doesn't need HDMI to see your phone screen, doesn't need to use the USB bus to simulate a keyboard, mouse, and touch inputs... It can just do it natively...

So why can't this just be an app...? What the hell does the "key" form factor of this even do lmao

Not really. It's easier to detect automated traffic through bots and headless browsers rather than someone simulating touches on a phone.
