What do you want to do?

4 use cases

  • Chat with AI models on a 2007 Nokia phone

    Deploy the Go server, build the Java ME app and pair an old Nokia to chat with Claude or other models.

    View prompt
    In the AIKON repo, walk me through the setup in docs/SETUP.md for a server at <server-host> and a Nokia <model> phone. List each command in order with the exact placeholder I must fill, and state which step needs a manual action on the phone. Verify by confirming that the test-mode deploy finishes before any key is set.

  • Run the AIKON test suite before changing the code

    Run the server and phone app checks so you have a clean baseline before you edit either part.

    View prompt
    In the AIKON repository, run `make test` and report the result for the server and for the app separately. Expected output is a pass or fail summary for each part, with the first failing line quoted if any. Verify that the app build downloaded its tools into app/.deps and not into the system.

  • Add or fix a phone UI translation

    Edit one text file per language and rebuild, so a native speaker can correct a draft UI language.

    View prompt
    In the AIKON repo, edit app/lang/<code>.txt to correct the translations I provide, then run `make -C app langs`. Expected output is the coverage report for that language and no build errors. Verify that every English line still has exactly one TAB-separated translation.

  • Review AIKON privacy and API spending before going live

    Check data retention, limits and billing controls before you point real API keys at your phone server.

    View prompt
    Read the Privacy and cost section of the AIKON README and list every place data is stored, for how long, and every cost that is billed to my API keys. Expected output is a short checklist with one line per item, with the spending-limit step marked as a manual action. Verify that you did not invent any limit numbers that the README does not state.

How to use AIKON

  1. Check you have what it needs: A Nokia S40 or S60 phone (tested on the Nokia 6300 and Nokia E63); A Docker host with a public IPv4 address and TCP 443 open (a $4-6/month VPS is enough); An API key from at least one provider: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini or Grok.
  2. Open emir/AIKON on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Rent a Docker host with a public IPv4 address and TCP 443 open.
  4. Create the private root CA and server certificate with server/scripts/pki.sh ca ~/.config/claude-s40/pki and server/scripts/pki.sh server ~/.config/claude-s40/pki.
  5. Deploy the server in test mode, which makes no API calls, with server/deploy/push.sh root@<server-ip> --execute. (inferred, check the README)
  6. Build the phone app with your server address using echo GATEWAY_URL=https://<server-host> > app/app.local.properties && make -C app, then install app/dist/AIKON.jad and the matching .jar on the phone. (inferred, check the README)

These steps come from our top use case, Chat with AI models on a 2007 Nokia phone, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
