Studio Bot is your coding companion for Android development. It's a conversational experience in Android Studio that helps you be more productive by answering Android development queries. It's powered by artificial intelligence and can understand natural language, so you can ask development questions in plain English. Studio Bot can help Android developers generate code, find relevant resources, learn best practices, and save time.

Studio Bot is still an early experiment, and might sometimes provide inaccurate, misleading or false information while presenting it confidently. Studio Bot might give you working code that doesn't produce the expected output, or provide you with code that is not optimal or incomplete. Always double-check Studio Bot's responses and carefully test and review code for errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities before relying on it. Studio Bot's new capabilities can help you by offering new ways to write code, create test cases, or update APIs.

Here's how to set up Studio Bot:

The main interface for interacting with Studio Bot is the chat window. You can use it to ask questions ranging from very simple and open-ended ones to specific problems that you need help with. Here are some examples of things you might ask; however, feel free to experiment with any topics related to Android development:

Studio Bot remembers the context of the conversation, so you can also ask it follow-up questions, such as:

You can also ask Studio Bot about Android Studio itself, for example:

In addition to the chat interface, Studio Bot offers a number of entry points that integrate with your development flow:

Studio Bot is powered by Codey, Google's foundation model for coding that is a descendant of PaLM 2.

Anything you enter into the Studio Bot chat window is sent to Google servers to generate a response. However, you don't have to share your code to use Studio Bot. Your code stays private by default and never leaves your computer without your consent.

No, your code is not used to train Studio Bot. Features like Ask Studio Bot only send the code that you explicitly authorize to Google servers, but this code isn't used for training purposes. If you agree to send usage statistics to Google in Android Studio, your feedback data—thumbs up and down signals—might be used to fine tune the models. These usage statistics don't contain code from your project.

Accelerating people's ideas with generative AI is truly exciting, but it's still early days, and Studio Bot is an experiment. Some of the responses might be inaccurate, so double-check information in the responses. With your feedback, Studio Bot is improving. While Studio Bot has built-in safety controls and clear mechanisms for feedback in line with our AI Principles, be aware that it might display inaccurate information or offensive statements.

Yes, Studio Bot can help with coding and topics about coding. It is experimental and you are responsible for your use of code or coding explanations. Use discretion and carefully test all code for errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities before relying on it.

Studio Bot should generate original content and not replicate existing content at length. We've designed our systems to limit the chances of this occurring, and we will continue to improve how these systems function. If Studio Bot does directly quote at length from a code repository, it cites that source. The citation might also reference an applicable open source license. It is your responsibility to comply with any license requirements.

Your use of Studio Bot is subject to the Google Terms of Service and the Generative AI Additional Terms of Service.

We're looking for your feedback to help us improve Studio Bot responses across all of the domains of Android development. To help, use Studio Bot in your development workflow and mark its responses as helpful or not helpful using the thumbs up and down options in the Studio Bot UI. This input helps us identify the areas that need more training.

Studio Bot is trained to answer many questions about Android development, but it wasn't designed to help with questions outside of its domain. It might also not be able to understand very complex questions or questions that require a lot of context for now.

Studio Bot is specifically designed for native Android Development. In addition, Studio Bot is integrated with the Android Studio IDE to provide you with a lot more functionality such as one-click actions and links to relevant documentation.
