Google has completed benchmarking tests to evaluate which AI models perform best for Android app development. The company released results identifying top-performing models across coding tasks specific to the Android platform.
Google is deploying a floating pill redesign for Gemini Live on Android devices. The update moves the conversational AI interface away from its previous fullscreen experience to a more compact, always-accessible floating format.
Google has detailed AppFunctions, a system that allows Gemini to directly control and interact with Android applications, functioning similarly to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). The capability enables AI agents to automate tasks across the Android ecosystem by providing structured access to app functionality.
