This tool lets you purge Windows 11 of all AI bloat features

Microsoft's Copilot chatbot is integrated into various Windows 11 applications, including the Edge browser, Photos app, and Paint software. Users can manage and disable unwanted AI components using the open-source program FlyOOBE, available for free on GitHub. To use FlyOOBE, users download a ZIP file, extract it, and run FlyOOBE.exe as an administrator. The program allows users to check the activation status of AI components and disable those they do not want by selecting them and confirming the changes. If FlyOOBE freezes, users can close the "Windows PowerShell" window to re-check components. FlyOOBE also offers features for removing bloatware. While it is free, donations to the developer, Builtbybel, are appreciated.

Google’s AI Studio enables rapid Android app creation in minutes

Google has introduced enhanced web-based AI tools in its AI Studio platform, allowing users to generate complete native Android applications from natural-language prompts. This process enables individuals without programming skills to create installable APKs in minutes. The Build mode accepts plain-English descriptions to construct comprehensive native Android projects, which can then be customized in Android Studio. The tools support integration with third-party APIs and Web3 SDKs, allowing AI-generated apps to interact with blockchain functionalities. This development offers opportunities for the cryptocurrency sector, enabling decentralized finance protocols or wallet providers to create lightweight companion apps without extensive engineering teams. The integration with the Android ecosystem positions Google to reshape competitive dynamics in mobile app development. However, there are security concerns regarding the AI-generated code, particularly related to vulnerabilities in rapidly generated mobile apps that interact with smart contracts.

Google thinks Gemini 3.5 Flash can finally make AI agents more useful

Google has rolled out its AI model, Gemini 3.5 Flash, across various platforms, claiming it outperforms its predecessor, Gemini 3.1 Pro, in key benchmarks. Gemini 3.5 Flash generates responses four times faster than competing AI systems and is designed for complex workflows and coding tasks. Google plans to introduce Gemini 3.1 Pro next month, which excels in decision-making and coding tests. The model is particularly effective for "long-horizon" tasks, aiding app development and document preparation. Google Antigravity, an agentic development platform, integrates with Gemini 3.5 Flash to manage large workloads. The company also introduced Gemini Spark, a personal AI agent for managing digital tasks, with a beta rollout for select testers. Gemini 3.5 was developed under the Frontier Safety Framework, incorporating enhanced safety measures and interpretability tools.

Google now lets you vibe code native Android apps in AI Studio

Google has launched Google AI Studio, a platform for creating native, Kotlin-based Android applications using a prompt-based interface. It allows users to test apps on their devices or refine them in Android Studio. The platform integrates with the Android SDK and supports large language models (LLMs), making it accessible for non-developers. AI Studio uses technology from Gemini in Android Studio, enabling the use of mobile device features like sensors and GPS. It includes an integrated Android emulator for app previews and allows users to connect their Android phones for testing. Users can download app code as a zip file for further development in Android Studio. AI Studio connects directly to the Google Play Console for app uploads, requiring a Google Play developer account. Future updates will enable app sharing and integrations with Firebase for enhanced functionality.

Google is pushing Android app building into a faster, more agentic era

Google is introducing a streamlined workflow for Android app development through its AI Studio, which integrates native app building and reduces the time from concept to launch. At the I/O 2026 event, Google highlighted that developers can now create functional Kotlin code using natural-language prompts, access a browser-based emulator, and conduct internal testing without extensive setup. The AI Studio can generate production-quality native Android code via Jetpack Compose, allowing for in-browser previews and easy project transitions to the Internal Test Track. This initiative aims to enhance the developer ecosystem, particularly benefiting startups by minimizing early experimentation costs and enabling faster iterations. Google is also addressing developer loyalty by providing effective tooling that encourages developers to stay within its ecosystem. The AI Studio connects with Google Workspace and offers a mobile app for project iteration, positioning itself as a gateway for broader software projects. This evolution in Android development emphasizes a shift away from traditional setups towards an AI-assisted workflow, influencing the speed and adaptability of startups.

Google’s AI Studio now lets anyone build Android apps in minutes

The Google I/O 2026 event revealed enhanced native Android app creation capabilities within the web-based Google AI Studio, significantly reducing the app development time from weeks to minutes. Google introduced Gemini AI to help users discover applications on the Play Store and the web, improving user experience and developer visibility. The new platform allows users to "vibe-code" Android applications using intuitive tools, democratizing app development for both experienced and novice developers. Apps are developed using Kotlin and Google’s Jetpack Compose toolkit, with support for various hardware sensors. An embedded Android Emulator enables real-time preview and interaction with apps, which can be installed on devices via USB. AI Studio also offers features for creating app records, package bundles, and uploading to the Google Play Console for internal testing. Developers can transfer projects to Android Studio for broader publishing, with future enhancements including app sharing and Firebase integrations. A new AI-powered overlay called "Ask Play" will assist users in discovering apps through natural conversations, while Gemini will help surface developers' apps and link users to movies, TV shows, and live sports streaming.
