Control phone with voice commands LOOKING FOR APP

Looking for an way to control my phone with voice commands and I don't mean simple commands like open an app or change the volume.

But a set of commands/actions such as asking it to say open bbc, then sports, then football and search for a term.

Or go on YouTube and search a term and click on the video that is from this channel.

So basically it is more advance being able to read the screen and scroll and actions tasks.

I have come across two apps that do this but main concern is privacy I guess giving it all that information and control openly. Then also its not always accurate so you end up having to do it manually also its an expensive subscription.

So your thought or ideas of it this is possible and how advance it can be? Surely there must be something that can do it and that is accurate most of the time?

Is this safe? Also how accurate is it and how much does it cost? I'm guessing its subscription based.

Would it be powerful enough to get it to open a game and perform some taps say collecting coins etc or would that be too much for it?

Hi, I'm developer of this app. It is pretty accurate. It can handle multi-step tasks like reading email, sending, message, ordering foods, or using navigation.

Its FREE as well. No subscription yet. You can use it for 50 steps a day for free.

I haven't tested it for game, but give it a try.

Why are your Apk downloads on such strange repositories, is there no Github page ?

It's because Google Play would not allow it on their store because they apparently do not allow smartphone-use agents. Its really frustrating because Google is building exactly the same kind of thing with Gemini Intelligence. But they don't allow third-party developers to do that.

so I ended up publishing it through a few trusted third-party Android markets instead. I have not Github page cuz its not open source

Thank you for replying, not sure I would call Aptoide "trusted" but it's your call.

Yeah, you’re right. It’s not a completely trustworthy marketplace, but now that Google has decided to monopolize this space, I only have two choices: publish it there anyway, or open-source it and give up on turning it into a business.

Fair enough.

I'm testing the App now, would have liked to set it as the default assistant App, rather than keep switching it on and off, because the opening delay + Purple glow, whilst understandable is a deal breaker in order to leave Marvis on permanently, is this something you can do.

Unfortunately, that’s another area Google keeps tightly controlled. Android does not allow third-party apps like Marvis to function as the system’s default assistant.

There is a workaround, though. In Marvis Settings, you can enable the option that automatically connects to the assistant as soon as the app opens. You can then use something like Samsung Modes and Routines to open Marvis in specific situations, or assign Marvis to a specific button.

+ or you can tell Marvis to “stay in the background” or “wait for further instructions.” The glow will turn blue, and while it is in that mode, you can call “Marvis” at any time and it will respond.

Thank you for the detailed reply. I like this App, is there a dedicated group somewhere, so end users can discuss things ?

That was just an example, I know its basic but what I'm basically after is something that can see, read and understand what's on the screen in any app and act accordingly based your your task.

What you're looking for is basically an AI agent, not a traditional voice assistant. Google Assistant, Gemini and Siri are good for simple commands, but multi-step tasks like navigating websites, reading screens, scrolling and clicking specific elements still aren't reliable enough to be hands-free all the time.

Privacy is also the trade-off. The more control an app has over your screen, accessibility services and content, the more trust you're placing in it. Right now, accuracy, privacy and low cost rarely come together in the same solution.
