  "text": {
    "why": "Android app tests wire a script to every screen element, and it breaks as soon as the screen changes. ARTEMIS takes instructions in plain language and drives a real device or emulator itself; over MCP, Antigravity, Claude Code and Windsurf can call the phone and collect Logcat output and screenshots. One start script installs ADB, scrcpy and FFmpeg and opens a browser console (Apache-2.0). The first task installs a small accessibility helper on the phone.",
