Helicopters don’t generally have autopilots but for fixed wing, most autopilots have a serial service port that can fly the device.

It’s not a stretch to go from there to a Bluetooth -> serial adapter. I remember years ago one android app even went to the extent of documenting how to do so.

Most helicopter 135 operators self-limit to VFR only, perhaps this is something like a VFR only autopilot they have in mind?
