Google announced Android's transition from an operating system to an 'intelligence system' at The Android Show. Key highlights include Gemini Intelligence, a suite of features enabling Gemini to automate multi-step tasks across apps (like ordering food or building grocery lists) without requiring code changes from developers. AppFunctions, an MCP-like API, lets developers expose specific app capabilities to the OS and AI agents for richer automation. Additional updates cover widget expansion to cars via RemoteCompose and Jetpack Glance, Car App Library improvements for Android Auto and Automotive OS, and Android XR SDK updates for display glasses and XR headsets. These features will roll out starting with Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer, with broader device support later in the year.
