## Description

We are reimagining the phone. AI phones need to be proactive, intuitive, intelligent and low cost. This is a mission critical for rest of the world to adopt intelligence.

 * Design system services and privileged APIs that allow AI agents to interact with the OS and applications.
 * Define system-level permission and security architecture.

 * Work with hardware vendors / ODMs on device integration.
 * Lead Android platform engineering and establish technical standards.
 * Evaluate technical feasibility and trade-offs for the first phone.
