The device streaming capability is going to be a hit as it empowers agentic workflows to test across a more diverse set of device form factors. I'm anticipating a step change in the app features targeting Android devices beyond handsets.

Watch how Antigravity takes an Android app from prompt to real device. Using the Stitch MCP and the Android CLI plugin, the agent pulls your designs, builds the native Jetpack Compose components, verifies them in the emulator, and runs the final build on a real phone.

If you looking to advance your AI usage with Android: My #1 tip is to install the Android CLI. It's a bunch of easy to use tools from the command line, that you agents can interact with. The latest feature added to the CLI is Device Streaming - allowing your agents to connect to remote Android devices. Learn more tips from @anomisSi in the latest post: android-developers.googleblo…
