👋 About me

name:       World of Dots
role:       Senior Engineer
focus:      on-device AI · Android agents · local-first runtimes
working_on: 🚀 touchpilot — safe, observable phone control by AI
mission:    keep the model next to the screen it operates
philosophy: typed tools, explicit risk, audit by construction
open_to:    collaborators on local agents, mobile AI, small models

I spend most of my time on the boundary between large models and real devices — how to make an agent useful on the phone you actually carry, without leaking your screen to someone else's cloud.

🧰 Tech I reach for

🚀 Featured project — touchpilot/touchpilot

🌟 Local-first Android AI agent runtime for safe, observable phone control.
Inspired by OpenClaw and PicoClaw — scoped around one hard problem first:
letting an AI agent operate an Android device through explicit, permissioned, inspectable tools.

✨ Why it's worth a star

📱 Native Android, not a desktop companion	Runs on the device, observes the device, acts on the device.
🛡️ Typed tools with explicit risk levels	Low-risk reads run silently. Medium/high-risk taps, typing, and app launches require user approval in chat.
👁️ Semantic UI via AccessibilityService	The agent sees structured nodes, not screenshots — plans are grounded and cheap to verify.
🏠 Local-first routing	Ships with a LiteRT command-routing model so simple actions never leave the device.
☁️ Cloud is a fallback, not the default	OpenAI-compatible endpoints are experimental — opt-in, not opt-out.
📜 Auditable by construction	Every model decision and tool execution is recorded in inspectable local logs.
🔐 Keystore-backed secrets	API keys are encrypted with an Android Keystore-backed key before being stored.
🧩 MIT, Kotlin, contributor-friendly	Issues are scoped. The runtime is small enough to read in a sitting.

🎯 Who should care

• 🔬 Researchers comparing on-device vs. cloud agent loops on real hardware
• 📲 Android engineers who want a reference for AccessibilityService-driven control
• 🧠 Anyone building agent UX where approvals, audit logs, and risk levels are first-class
