π MobileBase: AI-Powered Mobile Agent Development Environment
Inspiration
The increasing demand for mobile automation testing and AI-powered agents inspired us to build MobileBase. Traditional UI automation frameworks require complex scripting and debugging, making it difficult for developers to quickly test mobile apps.
We envisioned a web-based development environment where developers could write, test, and refine AI-driven automation agents in a seamless, cloud-powered workspace. By integrating LLMs (Gemini 2.0 Flash) for smart code completion and execution insights, we aimed to bridge the gap between AI-assisted coding and real-time mobile testing.
What It Does
MobileBase is a web-based AI automation platform that allows developers to:
β
Write AI-powered automation scripts using WebDriverIO SDK in Monaco Editor.
β
Get AI-powered code completions that understand the WebDriver API.
β
Execute automation agents on real/simulated Android devices via Genymotion SaaS.
β
Receive AI-driven debugging insights to optimize test cases.
β
Scale execution seamlessly using Fly.io for backend processing and SambaNova for inference acceleration.
In short, MobileBase simplifies mobile automation testing by integrating AI into agent creation, execution, and optimization.
How We Built It
Frontend
- Monaco Editor β A browser-based IDE where users write AI-powered automation scripts.
- Gemini 2.0 Flash β Provides real-time AI-powered code completions based on WebDriver APIs.
Backend
- Fly.io β Hosts the Next.js backend, managing API requests and AI integrations.
- SambaNova β Optimizes AI inference, accelerating LLM-based debugging.
- Gemini 2.0 Flash β Analyzes script execution results and provides real-time test insights.
Execution Layer
- Genymotion SaaS β Runs the automation agents on Android devices.
- Appium & WebDriverIO β Handles automation execution and testing.
Challenges We Ran Into
π§ Integration of AI with Monaco Editor
- Making LLM completions aware of WebDriver APIs required prompt engineering and dynamic code context management.
π§ Generating AI Debugging Insights
- Providing real-time execution feedback from Genymotion required an efficient AI pipeline.
- We optimized SambaNova for fast inference speeds to generate debugging insights without lag.
π§ Ensuring Script Execution on Real Devices
- Ensuring that LLM-generated scripts actually worked in Genymotion SaaS required iterative testing and refinement.
Accomplishments That We're Proud Of
π AI-powered WebDriver coding in Monaco β The LLM accurately understands WebDriver APIs and suggests working completions.
π Live execution on real Android devices β We successfully integrated Genymotion SaaS to run AI-generated scripts in real-time.
π AI-powered debugging insights β Our system provides real-time feedback on automation tests, suggesting fixes and optimizations.
π Cloud-based, scalable execution β With Fly.io and SambaNova, we achieved fast, scalable inference and test execution.
What We Learned
πΉ AI-powered automation improves developer productivity β Integrating AI assistance reduces the complexity of WebDriver scripting.
