Google announced new AI-powered tools in Google AI Studio that allow users to create Android apps using prompts and natural language instead of traditional coding.
These tools aim to facilitate app creation across various skill levels, from experienced developers to beginners for personal use.
The apps built can utilize Android features such as GPS, Bluetooth, and NFC, and can be previewed and installed directly on Android phones via Google’s web-based AI Studio platform.
For now, these apps are mainly for personal use and testing, with plans to introduce broader sharing and publishing options later.
Google is also introducing AI-powered app discovery tools like “Ask Play” to help users search for apps on the Google Play Store using natural-language conversations.
Gemini AI will start recommending apps directly within conversations on Android and the web in the near future.
Alongside app building, Google announced an expansion of its AI developer platform, including a faster Gemini AI model and a new AI-focused development system called Antigravity.
