PHYSIX OBSERVATION
The collective refusal by 155 apps to grant Doubao automation permissions shows that AI acting on users' behalf has hit the platform's traffic and security interests. What used to be an implicit game has now become open rule negotiation, marking the official start of the battle for the mobile AI entry point. For users, cross-app AI automation will be limited in the short term, but in the long run, the earlier permission boundaries and responsibility divisions are clarified, the more likely the agent ecosystem will succeed.
