Doubao Phone Assistant announced that the 30-day public notice period for the "Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol" (SAEP) has ended, and the platform will gradually open screen automation operation permissions for third-party applications. According to a report by TMTPost, its latest rejection list still covers 151 applications including Pinduoduo, Kimi, DeepSeek, Xiaohongshu, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, among which 23 are Alibaba-affiliated and 65 are Tencent-affiliated. The report suggests that super apps' refusal to open up is related to traffic closed loops and the possibility that monetization paths could be bypassed by AI agent operations, and that the implementation of phone AI Agents is more likely to move toward an intermediate form of native API collaboration combined with manual takeover in some scenarios. No further developments have been disclosed at present.

TMTPost: Computing Power Is No Longer the Ceiling for Mobile AI Agents—Ecosystem Walls Are
Doubao Phone Assistant announced the end of the 30-day public notice period for the Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol (SAEP) and will gradually open screen automation operation permissions for third-party apps. However, the latest refusal list covers 151 apps including Pinduoduo, Kimi, DeepSeek, Xiaohongshu, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, among which 23 are Alibaba-affiliated and 65 are Tencent-affiliated. The article argues that the root cause of super apps' refusal to open up is that traffic closed loops and monetization paths may be bypassed by AI proxy operations, and platforms face a role change from business frontends to invoked backends. The implementation of mobile AI agents is therefore more likely to move toward an intermediate form of native API collaboration with manual takeover in some scenarios.
