The AI reverse engineered a speaker app so he can queue music from his laptop

The AI reverse engineered the Bowers and Wilkins app so he can queue music over WiFi from his laptop instead of his phone, done in a couple of hours.

How it works

  1. The AI pulls apart the speaker maker's app
  2. Works out how it talks to the speakers
  3. Builds the route to queue music over WiFi from the laptop

Why it’s worth knowing

No public API existed, so the agent took the app apart to find the controls.
