Ghost in the Droid

🎯 Hello World — iPhone + Duolingo

Ghost does the Duolingo lesson. The streak lives. In the video, Claude Code drives a real iPhone through a full lesson via WebDriverAgent — a ~20-minute session, 625-day streak intact at the end.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”

Step 1 — Bring the iPhone online

Section titled “Step 1 — Bring the iPhone online”

With WebDriverAgent running on the phone, Ghost’s iOS layer exposes the same body it gives Android: XCTest element tree instead of UIAutomator XML, same tools on top.

Step 2 — Ask for the lesson

Section titled “Step 2 — Ask for the lesson”

In Claude Code:

Open Duolingo on the iPhone and complete today's lesson. Keep the streak alive.

The ghost works through the exercises — reading the XCTest tree, matching answers, tapping through animations. Grab a coffee; the streak is in good hands.

Step 3 — Verify the payoff

Section titled “Step 3 — Verify the payoff”

The lesson-complete screen with the streak counter is your proof. In the demo: 625 days, hands-free.

Fair warning

Section titled “Fair warning”

This is the fun-demo tier of automation — Duolingo would rather you did the lesson yourself. Use it on your own account, at your own judgment.
