TL;DR Google has relaunched its Androidify app, now using AI to create custom Android Bot avatars from your photos or text prompts.
The new app leverages Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash and Imagen AI models to analyze your input and generate a highly personalized Bot.
You can further customize your creation with various backgrounds and export it as an image, sticker, or even a short video.
Back in 2023, Google unveiled its new Android branding, complete with a new 3D mascot called the ‘Bot’. The Android Bot is beloved by many, as its adorable physique complements almost any color scheme and accessory thrown on it. Last year, Google released a Bot builder tool that lets you create your own Android avatar, but its customization options were quite limited. Now, Google is back with a new app that leverages the power of AI to let you create a fully custom Android Bot that reflects your unique look.

This new app is a revival of a much-loved classic: Androidify. First released in 2011, the original Androidify app let you create a custom version of the Android mascot, allowing you to tweak its skin tone, clothing, hair type, and accessories — an extensive level of customization for the time. Google eventually removed the app from the Play Store in 2020, four years after its final update. At Google I/O back in May, however, the company announced it would be bringing Androidify back with new AI-powered features for creating significantly more personalized avatars.
The new Androidify app leverages the latest Google AI models to transform your photo or prompt into a custom Android Bot. To get started, simply open the app and tap the “Let’s Go” button. Then, take or choose a photo, or enter a text prompt. You can also select a color for your Bot. If you’re having trouble writing a prompt, you can tap “Help me write” to have Google’s AI generate one for you. When you’re ready, tap “Transform” and wait for the AI to work its magic.

After a short time, the Androidify app will show you your custom Bot. If you’re satisfied with the result, you can tap “Customize and Share.” This takes you to the Customize and Export screen, where you can choose from several options (1:1, Wallpaper, Large wallpaper, Banner, and 3:1) to resize or frame the Bot. You can also choose the “Sticker” option to remove the background entirely.
