What you get

Argent drives a growing set of targets through a single toolkit, each with the right interaction model - touch, remote or mouse:

  • Record & replay flows — - Capture a sequence of interactions once and let your agent replay it deterministically, so manual repros and smoke tests become repeatable
  • Visual regression — - Diff two screenshots (or a saved baseline against a live capture) with OCR- and font-aware comparison to catch unintended UI changes
  • Debugging and diagnostics — - Let your agent inspect logs, capture network traffic (JS fetch and native), evaluate JS in the running app, walk the native UIKit and React component trees, and reproduce failing states - so you can jump straight to the fix
  • Desktop & web control — - For Electron and Chromium apps your agent can drive tabs, read and write cookies and storage, walk the DOM and inspect network over the Chrome DevTools Protocol
  • React Native out of the box — - Argent works with React Native apps natively, so your agent can build, launch, and iterate on your RN project the same way it would any native app - no extra setup required

Configuration and credentials

  • Node.js 20.12 or later - For iOS / tvOS: macOS with Xcode installed (Apple TV uses tvOS simulators — Xcode downloads the tvOS runtime on demand) - For Android / Android TV: Android SDK Platform Tools (adb) on PATH, and the Android Emulator package if you want to boot AVDs from Argent. Create AVDs via Android Studio or avdmanager. - For Fire TV (Vega): the Vega SDK
