The main app you know. AI chat, floating widget, task execution. Available on Google Play.
Google PlayWhy a separate app?
Google Play policy changed — here's why zerotap agent exists as a separate app.
Google announces new Accessibility API policy
Google adds a new prohibition: "Any use of the Accessibility API that enables an app to autonomously initiate, plan, and execute actions or decisions is strictly prohibited." This directly targets AI agents.
Enforcement begins
Google starts enforcing the new policy. Apps that use Accessibility Service for AI-driven autonomous actions face rejection during review.
Two-app architecture
We created zerotap agent as an optional companion app: the main zerotap app (on Google Play) handles AI chat and the floating widget, while this companion app adds device control capabilities through Android's Accessibility Service.
What Google's policy actually says
Any use of the Accessibility API that enables an app to autonomously initiate, plan, and execute actions or decisions is strictly prohibited.Google Play Developer Policy — Accessibility API, effective January 28, 2026
This policy affects apps that combine AI with accessibility features for device control. To comply, the device control functionality is offered separately through zerotap agent.
Apps like Tasker and MacroDroid use deterministic, user-defined scripts — a carve-out Google explicitly preserved. AI-assisted device control requires a different distribution approach.
Installation
Download the agent
One tap, about 2.5 MB. It always gets the latest version from our official GitHub.
Download zerotap agent (APK)Keep the file
Chrome may warn that the file might be harmful, as it does for every app from outside Google Play. Tap Download anyway.
Allow the install
Open the downloaded file. Android asks to allow installs from your browser: tap Settings, switch on Allow from this source, go back and tap Install. If Play Protect asks, tap More details, then Install anyway.
Turn on the agent
Open the zerotap agent app and tap Enable Accessibility Service, then switch zerotap agent on. If the switch is greyed out (Android 13 and later): Settings → Apps → zerotap agent → tap the three-dot menu (⋮) → Allow restricted settings, then go back and switch it on.
Back to zerotap
That's it. zerotap finds the agent and connects to it by itself.
FAQ
Google Play policy does not allow combining AI functionality with Accessibility Service features in a single app. zerotap agent provides the device control capabilities as an optional, standalone companion app.
Yes, as long as you download from the official repository at github.com/zerotap-app/agent. Always verify you're on the official repo — not a fork.
Google Play policy restricts apps that combine AI with Accessibility Service for device control. zerotap agent is distributed via GitHub.
The Accessibility Service runs as a background service, which is required for it to respond to commands from the main app. It only performs actions when instructed by zerotap and has minimal impact on battery life.
The agent reads screen content only when the zerotap main app sends a command. Screen data is processed in real-time and never stored. No data is sent to external servers by the agent app itself.
Yes. Since it's not on the Play Store, updates won't be automatic. The zerotap main app will notify you when a new version is available and link you to the download page.
