Google has revived Androidify with a much more ambitious proposal: An app and website that turn your photo into the classic Android bot Using generative artificial intelligence. The idea is the same as always, but now with new creative tools and more versatile results.

How the new Androidify works
The workflow is simple: upload an image, and the system analyzes features and details to generate your bot. After a few seconds, you'll get a proposal that you can tweak, such as the skin tone (green by default, but many shades are available) until you achieve a style that represents you.
Personalization doesn't stop there. Using tags, you can add accessories and objects that do not appear in the photo (for example, headphones or a guitar). When finished, it is possible share the result with a link or download the image to your mobile or computer.
If you feel like starting from scratch, There is a text mode: You write what you imagined and Androidify interprets it to create the mascot. Prompts allow for a lot of variation, although they have certain limits. And occasionally, a mistake may occur; with a couple of attempts, you can usually achieve pretty good scenes.
When exporting, you can choose the frame that best suits you: 1:1, wallpaper, widescreen wallpaper, banner, 3:1 or sticker. Also there is a sticker mode which removes the background so the bot is ready for messaging or social media.
AI models and the technology behind them
To understand what's going on behind the scenes: Gemini 2.5 Flash generates a detailed description of your photo, and An adjusted version of Image 3 is responsible for synthesizing the bot maintaining a playful and stylized style.
The model known internally as Nano-Banana, later presented as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, is used to build coherent backgrounds and scenes around the bot. The results integrate the character into 3D compositions with varied environments and lighting that responds to the context.
The most dynamic part is in charge of I see 3: during the Fridays of September, 8-second videos can be generated animating your Androidify bot from the created image. It's a one-time feature that opens the door to quick, shareable clips.
The visual goal is not photorealism, but a friendly and colorful identityas the other avatars Recent You can see how the brightness of the bot changes depending on the background.: It can look brighter against a light source or with more muted tones against the light.
Customization options and tricks
There is a wide selection of themed scenarios to contextualize your avatar: Masterchef, Jetsetter, Gamer and other environments designed to make the bot fit with your hobbies.
If you use the live camera, the app can guide you with ML Kit Pose Detection to better capture the pose before generating the bot. This helps the resulting figure reflect more natural gestures.
At the interface level, Androidify also serves as a showcase for Material 3 Expressive, with new shapes, motion patterns, and custom animations. On foldable devices, there's even a desktop mode for convenient app control.
For occasional use, the web version is a great option; if you're going to create frequently, Installing the app may be more practical to have all functions at hand.
