AutoGLM is a cloud agent application that gives you a cloud phone and a cloud PC in the cloud. You describe a task in natural language and it performs the real steps on those devices, covering app operations, web browsing, food ordering, hotel booking, slide and web page creation, and video generation, which makes it a fit for repetitive workflows you would rather run in the background.
AutoGLM: A Cloud Agent That Runs Tasks on Your Cloud Phone and Cloud PC
What AutoGLM is
AutoGLM is a cloud agent application developed by Zhipu AI. It gives every user a cloud phone and a cloud PC, and all you need to do is issue instructions in natural language. AutoGLM then carries out the task on those cloud devices automatically: opening apps, browsing websites, ordering food, booking hotels, building slides and web pages, generating videos, and more.
Unlike a typical local assistant, AutoGLM runs everything in the cloud. It consumes no computing power or storage on your own device and never interrupts whatever you are already doing. You can think of it as a helper sitting in a remote data center, operating a device on your behalf: you say what you want, it handles the tapping, navigating, and information moving.
Key capabilities
Cloud device operation. Each user receives a cloud phone and a cloud PC hosted in a cloud data center, with a complete operating system and app ecosystem. You drive them through natural-language instructions, and the experience feels close to working on a real device.
Automated task execution. It handles mobile app operations, cross-app interaction, and web task execution. Publicly described scenarios include opening apps, browsing the web, ordering food, booking hotels, making slides and web pages, and generating videos.
Multi-app collaboration. AutoGLM can coordinate work across several apps, for example retrieving information in one app and then using that information inside another, linking together steps a person would otherwise perform by switching back and forth manually.
No local installation or tethering. Tasks are completed entirely in the cloud. Your local device needs no extra software and no persistent connection, so nothing is consumed locally and your current work is not disturbed.
How to use it
- Open AutoGLM and confirm that a cloud phone or cloud PC has been assigned to you.
- Describe the task in natural language, stating the goal, the app or website involved, and any important constraints.
- Let AutoGLM work on the cloud device while you continue with your own tasks locally.
- Review the returned results and deliverables. If changes are needed, send one more instruction and let it revise the output.
Who it suits
- Everyday errands: mobile flows that require a chain of steps, such as ordering food or booking a hotel.
- Office deliverables: tasks with a concrete output, such as making slides, building web pages, or generating videos.
- Information gathering and transfer: searching across websites and apps, then consolidating what is found.
- When your local device is busy: you want the job finished in the background without consuming local resources.
Limitations
- AutoGLM depends on cloud devices, so a stable network connection is required while tasks run.
- Steps involving account login, payment, or personal information require you to confirm authorization and decide what is safe to share.
- The more complex the task, the more precise your instruction needs to be; vague goals can send execution down an unexpected path.
- No specific pricing or plan details are available in public material, so the actual scope of availability follows what the product itself states.
Frequently asked questions
How is AutoGLM different from other AI assistants? It does not simply answer questions in a chat window. It works directly on a cloud phone and a cloud PC assigned to you, performing the real taps and steps of the task.
Do I need to install anything on my own device? No. Every operation runs in the cloud, taking no local device resources and never interrupting what you are doing.
Can it handle tasks that span multiple apps? Yes. It supports multi-app collaboration, such as taking information from one app and using it in another, and it also executes web-based tasks.
