FoneClaw v0.0.4 — A More Stable Agent, Now With Voice Output and Skill Import

FoneClaw is the Android AI phone assistant that actually controls your phone — not just answers questions. v0.0.4 focuses on making the Agent experience more stable, more guided, and more extensible: voice output, Skill import, first-run onboarding, streaming replies, multilingual fixes, and stronger recovery when model output is invalid.

Say it. Hear it. Extend it.

  6. "Set brightness to 60%" — Supported Android setting changes with a clear result.

Showcase Highlights

  • Voice Output — FoneClaw can now speak assistant responses, making hands-free interaction more natural.
  • Skill Import Foundation — v0.0.4 introduces the first closed-loop Skill import flow, including metadata parsing, validation, persistence, draft state, and install-link handling.
  • First-Run Onboarding — New guide pages make setup clearer, especially around permissions and initial usage.
  • Streaming Agent Replies — Responses can appear progressively, improving perceived speed and conversation flow.
  • More Reliable Agent Output — Refactored response handling reduces empty results, malformed outputs, and confusing fallback states.
  • Better Multilingual Experience — Localized fallback, RTL rendering, Markdown display, and hardcoded text issues have been improved.
  • Image Workflow Fixes — Screenshot and image-summary upload paths are more stable.
  • Backend Relay Progress — Online model calls continue moving toward a safer relay architecture with provider routing, fallback, and validation.

Permissions, Setup, and User Control

  • Clearer first-run setup — Users are guided through what FoneClaw needs before using advanced capabilities.
  • Confirmation for sensitive actions — Messages, calls, screenshots, settings changes, and other high-risk operations remain under user control.
  • Configurable TTS — Voice output can be managed without blocking the main Agent flow.
  • Skill boundary checks — Imported Skills are validated before becoming part of the assistant capability layer.
  • No root required — Works on Android 9+.
