What is GatePilot?
GatePilot gives production AI agents dedicated mobile proxy identities: physical mobile devices, real SIMs, carrier mobile IPs, assigned phone metadata, and route health.
How is this different from a mobile proxy?
A mobile proxy routes traffic. GatePilot assigns a stable mobile identity that includes the device, SIM, carrier mobile IP, assigned phone metadata, and route health.
Does each agent get phone metadata?
The assigned SIM can include phone metadata for the identity, but inbound SMS and phone workflows are not part of the launch pilot.
Does it work with Playwright or Browserbase?
Yes. GatePilot works with Playwright, Puppeteer, Browserbase, and agent stacks that can use an authenticated session route.
What countries are available?
United States is available today. Additional countries are handled through design partner requests and should be treated as waitlist availability until provisioned.
Comparison criteria
GatePilot compared with proxy-first infrastructure.
| Topic | GatePilot | Proxy-first option |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Real mobile identity for production AI agents. | Network routing through mobile or residential proxy inventory. |
| Identity bundle | Physical mobile device, real SIM, carrier mobile IP, and assigned phone metadata. | Usually IP routing; phone identity is separate or unavailable. |
| Team controls | Route health, API session records, proxy usage, and proxy errors. | Credentials, traffic limits, sticky sessions, and IP rotation settings. |
| Launch scope | Dedicated mobile proxy identity; domain policy and SMS are not included at launch. | Usually routes traffic without device-level provisioning visibility. |
| Best fit | Browser agents that need physical mobile identity and route health. | General traffic routing where identity continuity is not the core requirement. |
Common questions.
Should I replace every proxy with GatePilot?
No. Use GatePilot where an agent needs stable mobile identity, dedicated carrier routing, and route health.
Why not use a rotating residential proxy?
Rotating residential proxy pools can change devices, networks, and reputation. GatePilot prioritizes one assigned mobile identity per agent.
