Agent Automates Common Android Tasks

Android: Agent is a combined automation tool and personal assistant that will silence your phone during meetings, remember where you parked and auto-respond to texts and phone calls while you’re driving.

Agent is beautifully simple, and the video above shows you how it works. There are five “agents” in the app, including one that saves your battery (by making some simple system changes like turning off Bluetooth and dimming your screen). The Sleep agent silences everything but still lets important messages through, the Parking agent automatically records where you park, the Calendar agent mutes your phone when there’s an appointment on your calendar (and unmutes it when the appointment ends), and the Drive agent will read your incoming texts aloud and auto-replies to them to let people know you’re on the road.

You can customise each agent to your liking. For example, you can set the battery percentage required for the Battery Agent to kick in, and then again to turn it back off. You can change the auto-response messages that the Drive Agent sends, and so on. The app is easy to use, but still gives you a good degree of control.

If you’ve used automation tools such as Tasker, Llama or Automagic Agent won’t surprise you, and advanced tweakers may find it limiting. However, non-savvy phone owners will appreciate its ease of use.

Agent offers the ability to handle common Android tweaks without any programming, all in one app. Hit the link below to give it a shot. It’s $1.99 at Google Play.
