PalmClaw: A Native On-Device Agent Framework for Mobile Phones
PalmClaw moves the agent loop onto the phone and turns mobile capabilities into explicit tools.
The paper argues that GUI-only phone agents are slow and brittle because they depend on long tap, swipe, and typing sequences. PalmClaw instead manages sessions, memory, skills, tools, and execution directly on-device. Its device tools use explicit arguments, structured results, and bounded actions. In experiments, the authors report an 11.5% relative task-success gain and a 94.9% reduction in completion time over the strongest baseline. HF Daily Papers' note
