Background & analysis
According to a The Decoder report on October 29, 2026, Google opened Android Studio to third-party AI agents at the Android Dev Summit. The update arrives as part of Android Studio Rabbit 2 and introduces a "Bring Your Own Agent" feature: developers can run more than 40 coding agents inside the IDE through the open source Agent Client Protocol, including Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex. The integrations also bring Anthropic and OpenAI models into the developer workflow. Google says the new terminal tooling helps agents complete UI tasks 77 percent faster while consuming up to three times fewer tokens, part of a broader shift toward agent-centric Android development. At the same event, Google also announced new APIs for on-device smartphone agents and a pair of smart glasses. The report offers no further details on how these updates will roll out.
