Introduction

Twent is a free AI agent for Android — it automates apps, runs an Ubuntu terminal, connects to MCP servers and skills. BYOK.

Twent runs on Android 8.0+ and gives you a real AI assistant that can see your screen, control any app, run shell commands, browse the web, manage files, and connect to external tools — all from one app. The agent can also install MCP servers and skills for itself, delegate to subagents, and ask you for clarification before hard decisions.

Start Using Twent — Download the APK, install Twent, grant permissions, and connect an AI provider — step by step.

Plugins — Extend the agent with MCP servers and Skills.

Features — Web research, persistent memory, Agent CLIs, Token Config, and the built-in Ubuntu terminal.

Glossary — Plain-English explanations of every technical term used in these docs.

Why Twent exists

Most AI assistants live in a chat bubble and can’t touch your device. Twent is different — it runs on your phone with full access to the OS, giving AI real agency: reading your screen, tapping buttons, running commands, and managing files.

Local-First
All data stays on your device. BYOK model — your keys, your data.

Free to Use
Twent is completely free. Paid model API usage is billed by your chosen provider. If someone asks you to pay for Twent itself, it’s a scam.

Extensible
MCP servers, plugins, skills, and workflows for infinite capability.

Persistent Memory
The agent remembers relevant details across conversations, and its memory grows over time.

Customizable
Customize both the app UI and the AI agent’s behavior to match your workflow.

Privacy First
Zero hidden telemetry. Nothing leaves your device except your explicit API calls.

Quick start

Download & install the APK
Follow Start Using Twent — download link, “install unknown apps”, and Play Protect workarounds included.

Grant permissions & pick a provider
Allow everything on the Permissions page, then add an API key under Settings → Model Settings (Nous Research, Opencode Zen, or NVIDIA NIMS are good starts).

Wait for terminal setup
Open the Terminal page once — setup takes 8–10 minutes and runs by itself.

Start searching
Start the ddg-search server under Plugins → MCP, then ask Twent anything.
