Google Brings Back Androidify With AI Avatars, Live on Web and Google Play

The launch doubles as a developer showcase for Firebase AI Logic that chains Gemini validation to a fine‑tuned Imagen 3 renderer.

Overview

  • Users can generate personalized Android bot avatars from a selfie or a text prompt, then customize with accessories and backgrounds.
  • Photo inputs are checked and captioned by Gemini 2.5 Flash using structured JSON outputs before prompt enrichment.
  • A fine‑tuned Imagen 3 model renders the stylized bot, with a “Help me write” option to suggest clothing and hairstyle details.
  • Background “vibe” scenes use Gemini 2.5 Flash Image editing, and Sticker mode employs ML Kit Subject Segmentation for background removal.
  • The app is built with Jetpack Compose, Material 3 Expressive, CameraX and ML Kit Pose Detection, and Google notes variable availability with an 18+ advisory.
