New Horizons for Android: XR, MCP, and A...

Allen and Mike record live from Google I/O in the Builders podcast space. They discuss their impressions of this year's conference, the evolution of I/O over the years, and the big announcements from the keynote. Key topics include Gemini's "any output from any input" vision, how the new NanoBanana and Omni models are different than Imagen and Veo, the state of Android XR development, and the introduction of App Functions (Android MCP) for better AI agent integration. They also share their thoughts on the new Gemini app UI and what they hope to see in the world of wearables by next year.
