AI overview

At the Android Dev Summit, Google unveiled Android Studio Rabbit 2, introducing the Bring Your Own Agent feature that opens the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) to third-party AI coding agents like Claude and Codex. Concurrently, Google released new Gemini APIs and showcased XREAL AURA smart glasses. Earlier reports noted Android Antigravity as Google's proprietary agent, but the updated platform now allows developers to freely choose from multiple AI agents within Android Studio.

    Google unveiled Android Studio Rabbit 2 at the Android Dev Summit, introducing a "Bring Your Own Agent" feature that allows developers to run over 40 third-party coding agents, including Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex, directly within the IDE via the new Agent Client Protocol. The update also includes new Gemini APIs, a code verification tool called Change Review, and a migration assistant for modernizing XML layouts. Google expanded the Android CLI with terminal tools for UI preview and physical device streaming, and integrated the LeakCanary memory leak detection library to improve debugging efficiency.
