Android Studio Panda introduces several AI-powered features to speed up Android app development. The new Project Assistant lets developers generate a working app prototype from a single prompt using Kotlin, Compose, and best-practice libraries. A Version Upgrade Assistant automates dependency updates by iteratively building and fixing errors. Agent Web Search enables Gemini to query Google for up-to-date third-party library documentation. Custom Skills allow teams to encode project-specific workflows into reusable agent instructions. Granular Agent Permissions give developers control over what actions the AI agent can take. Planning Mode lets the agent create a reviewable implementation plan before writing code. Next Edit Prediction anticipates logical follow-up edits beyond the cursor position. New templates for Car App Library and Gemini API integration reduce boilerplate setup.
