Androidify Return Confirmed Back - Google’s Avatar App Now Uses AI to Build Your Droid Double

Google has confirmed that Androidify is coming back later this year, powered by Gemini and Imagen via Firebase AI Logic SDK. A new demo app is now live, showcasing how these tools can turn selfies into 3D Android bots.

Users start by uploading an image or snapping one with the in-app camera. Gemini 2.5 Flash checks if the image shows a person and meets safety standards. Once approved, it generates a detailed caption describing the person, which fuels the prompt for Imagen to create a custom Android avatar.

For users who prefer text, Androidify also accepts written prompts describing clothing, accessories, and other visual details. Imagen 3 uses these descriptions to render the bots. Google fine-tuned the Imagen model with Androidify-specific training data for better results.

ML Kit’s Pose Detection SDK also plays a key role. It detects human presence in the frame and automatically enables the capture button when it spots a face and shoulders.

The demo uses off-the-shelf AI tools for now, but Google plans to launch the full app and support for fine-tuned models later this year. Developers can already start exploring the open-source app on GitHub.
