What's new in Android Studio's AI Agent?
summary
Android Studio’s agent claims it can edit, test and refactor code, update dependencies and fix build errors by invoking specialized tools rather than sending the whole codebase to a model. Demos show render compose preview and match UI to target image producing usable Jetpack Compose screens, generated previews and SVGs, then verifying with IDE inspections and UI checks. It pulls docs from an Android knowledge base, supports Gemini OpenAI Anthropic and local models, and often finishes a polished screen generation and verification in about 20 minutes.
