Argent gives your AI assistant direct control of iOS simulators, Android emulators and devices, TVs (Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV) and Electron/Chromium apps. Tap a button, profile a screen, reproduce a bug - without leaving the CLI.

npx @swmansion/argent@latest init  # pnpm: pnpm dlx @swmansion/argent@latest init

• Interact - tap, swipe, gesture, type, hardware buttons; D-pad on TV; mouse and keyboard on desktop.
• Flows - record a path once, replay it deterministically as a repro or smoke test.
• Visual regression - diff a baseline against a live capture, OCR- and font-aware.
• Profiling - Hermes, React DevTools, Xcode Instruments, Perfetto: renders, CPU hotspots, hangs.
• Debugging - logs, network (fetch and native), JS evaluation, native and React trees.
• React Native - build, launch and iterate, no extra setup.

Ask your assistant "What can Argent do?" to list every tool.
