Original: Project Log #15: My AI Agent Just Completed Its First Multi-App Task
Short summary
A developer's Day 15 log details their AI phone agent completing its first multi-app task: reading a bank balance via OCR and sending it through WhatsApp. The breakthrough is a simple key-value task memory system that persists extracted data between app switches. The author honestly notes remaining issues: slow app loading, clunky app switching, and unreliable OCR on banking text — acknowledging that financial tasks demand higher accuracy before trust.
- •Task memory (key-value store) bridges single-app and multi-app agent workflows
- •Agent uses OCR to read banking app screens lacking accessibility labels
- •Author identifies OCR accuracy and app-switching reliability as key blockers
