## Summary

PhoneUse launches as a free, open-source tool that lets users text their phone instructions through Claude, Codex, or other AI tools. The post says the phone then taps and swipes to complete the task. The project is available on GitHub at github.com/phoneuse-official/phoneuse.

## Why it matters

The post names a concrete access path, a text-based interface through existing AI tools, and an open-source repository, so readers can check how the phone control works.
