Minitap accuses Google of using their open-source code in Google's Artemis mobile automation project without proper attribution. The Minitap team found identical device connection code and even the same agent name 'Hopper' with matching prompts in Google's repository, with evidence that Minitap's credits were removed from an older commit history.
Background
Google released Artemis, an open-source project for automating mobile devices using AI agents. Minitap had previously published a similar open-source research experiment called mobile-use focused on AI agent interaction with phones.
