AI brief

Google is opening Android Studio to third-party AI agents through a "Bring Your Own Agent" feature that supports over 40 coding agents, including Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex, and it announced new Gemini APIs.

Why it matters: It lets developers use coding agents from providers other than Google inside Android Studio.
