As AI shifts from passive assistants to on-device autonomous agents, mobile software is undergoing its most significant platform transition in decades. Android is evolving from a visual app launcher into an intelligent runtime where system-level agents orchestrate multi-step workflows across applications. In this opening keynote panel followed by open QnA, engineering and developer advocacy leaders from Google unpack how the platform is adapting to an agent-first world. The panel examines the shift toward AppFunctions and on-device tool calling, privacy boundaries for autonomous execution, and why developers must start treating app capabilities as structured APIs alongside visual screens. Developers will walk away with an insider look at Android’s platform roadmap and practical guidance on preparing production codebases for an agent-driven ecosystem.

Modern content creation apps demand more from Android cameras and media pipelines than ever before. How do you build dual-camera recording, slow-motion capture, picture-in-picture, multi-track editing, and high-quality media processing without building everything from scratch? In this session, learn how Jetpack CameraX and Media3 can help you build these experiences across Android devices. You’ll learn how to: - Build advanced camera experiences with concurrent camera, low-light boost, and high-speed recording. - Create creator workflows such as picture-in-picture and script-assisted recording. - Build multi-track, multi-asset editing experiences with Media3. - Improve video and audio quality with recommended codecs, on-device enhancement, and noise suppression. - Support modern HDR media formats, including Eclipsa HDR. Walk away with practical patterns and Android APIs you can apply to build richer, more reliable content creation experiences.
