It bundles 23 curated Android skills (following the open agent skills specification) directly into the IDE so the AI agent gets domain-specific guidance without manual setup, and adds native Gemma 4 local model integration for offline, private AI coding with agentic tool-calling. The release also brings parallel agent UX improvements including hyperlinked code symbols, real-time background agent status notifications, a unified Summary of Changes tab, and collapsible thought-process rendering. Developers can upgrade beyond the default Gemini model via API keys, a Google AI Pro/Ultra plan, or Gemini Enterprise (rolling out, currently in Canary). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
