Overview

Google introduced Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA) for Android Studio on September 24, 2026, with preview rollout in the Rabbit 2 Canary release. Developers can connect ACP-compliant agents, including Claude Agent, Codex, and Google Antigravity, using an existing plan or API key. Android Studio supplies project-graph and build context through ACP and exposes diagnostics, Jetpack Compose previews, Android SDK tools, and emulator control to the connected agent.

This is a sourced directory entry. Features and capabilities are reported in the linked sources; this entry does not document independent Aymorphic testing.
