Flipper Zero pen-testing tool gets an AI-powered companion app — natural language interface allows for faster, easier hacking

Flipper Zero.

The Flipper Zero is a Swiss Army knife of a pen-testing tool, combining a radio, an RFID interface, an infrared transceiver, and Bluetooth in a small, handheld package. Using one is relatively easy for the technically minded, but its user interface has a small screen and buttons that require multiple steps for operation. A new project called V3SP3R (Vesper) aims to change that by using an AI model and an Android app for easily and quickly controlling the Flipper.

The Vesper app installs on an Android device and uses OpenRouter to connect to any of the service's AI models. The bot then becomes a go-between between the user and the Flipper, controlling all of its subsystems. Users can then ask questions and issue commands to their hacking tool, ranging from asking the battery percentage, to analyzing an IR capture, up to creating entire scripts to interface with other devices.
