WatchingWatchingNone of the above. Nothing stands out yet. More on the methodology pageanupray95/AI-Agent-on-a-NOKIA
Reverse-engineered an old Nokia's firmware and added a custom AI Agent. Native functions like calls, alarms, or alarms can now be easily handled just by chatting.
Our summary
A custom AI chat application reverse-engineered into a Nokia 110 4G phone. It lets users control native phone functions like calls, alarms, and torch through text-based conversation with an AI agent.
Who it is for: Developers interested in firmware modification and embedded AI.
What the README claims
- It runs as a prototype loaded into RAM and can operate unplugged using mobile data
It's a working prototype loaded into RAM from a computer. Once loaded, it can run unplugged using mobile data.
Not checked - The app was built by modifying the Calculator app and integrating DeepSeek chat API with tool calls
Modified the Calculator app into custom chat app. It sends your message to DeepSeek chat API and use tool calls accordingly.
Not checked - The phone has only 48MB of memory, requiring custom optimization techniques
As the phone memory is only 48MB, normal agent code wont fit, so created a very simple custom agent, used smaller builds, compressed the payload and reused buffers.
Not checked
Written by AI from the project's README on 2026-10-09. It does not affect the verdict.
Watching: no other rule matched yet.

The usual gain is the average weekly gain over the 4 weeks before (days 8 to 35 ago), counted as at least 10 stars. 2.0x means twice the usual pace. Without a reading from 35 days ago, the ranking assumes 2% of the stars the project had 7 days ago as its usual weekly gain. More on the methodology page
