> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** AI in Android Studio is only available in the latest stable channel version of Android Studio and major versions released in the previous 10 months. If you are using an older version of Android Studio, you will need to update to use AI in Android Studio. For more information, see [Android Studio and Cloud
> services compatibility](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases#service-compat).

You can use the agent of your choice as an AI-powered coding companion for
Android development. The agent helps you be more productive by answering your
development queries, generating code, finding relevant resources, and
encouraging best practices. Most importantly, in Android Studio the agent is
uniquely equipped to accelerate Android development---it can help you mock up and
troubleshoot Compose UIs, fix Gradle build errors, analyze crashes through
integrations with Logcat and App Quality Insights, and more.

## Gemini-based agents

Android Studio's Gemini-based agents are available for individual developers and
businesses:

- [Individual tier](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/feature-comparison#individuals)
  - Free
  - [API key](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/add-api-key)
  - [Google One membership](https://one.google.com/intl/en_us/about/google-ai-plans/)
- [Business tier](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/feature-comparison#businesses)

  Available through a subscription to [Gemini Enterprise](https://cloud.google.com/gemini-enterprise) or membership in
  the [Google Developer Program](https://developers.google.com/program).

If you're using the Gemini model, we recommend using Google Antigravity as your
coding agent because it provides you with more quota and access to the latest
models.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If you're interested in agent-driven development for Android using agents outside of Android Studio, use [Android CLI](https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-cli).

### What is the right tier for me?

Choose the product tier and edition that are right for you.

#### Individuals

If you're an individual freelance developer, student, or hobbyist using Gemini,
we recommend the [free edition](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/feature-comparison#individuals). At no cost, you get access to a lightweight
version of Gemini with a small context window, which is appropriate for most
tasks. If you need to execute more complex tasks that would benefit from Gemini
Pro's full 1M token context window, you can [add a Gemini API key](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/add-api-key) and pay
per token.

Or you can [subscribe to Google One](https://one.google.com/about/) and get 2 TB or more of cloud
storage, higher rate limits, and additional benefits such as Gemini in Google
Docs and Gmail, access to Veo, and higher usage limits on products like Nano
Banana and NotebookLM. [Find the right Google One plan for you](https://one.google.com/intl/en_us/about/google-ai-plans/#compare-plans).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If you already subscribe to Google One, you automatically get the AI in Android Studio added capabilities and benefits at no additional cost.

#### Businesses

If you're a professional developer who works as part of a team, ask your admin
to consider subscribing to the [business tier](https://developer.android.com/studio/gemini/feature-comparison#businesses). The business tier includes
additional features that make it easier to collaborate with your teammates while
incorporating your company's best practices and standards, including but not
limited to:

- Higher quota
- Centralized administrative controls
- Data residency and security, including VPC Service Controls
