The Google AI Edge Gallery app has expanded its on-device AI capabilities by introducing experimental support for the open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Android, allowing Gemma 4 to coordinate complex tasks across external data sources like Google Workspace and Google Maps. To enable more proactive and persistent user interactions, the update adds a "Schedule Notification" skill for automating routines and a persistent chat history feature that restores long session contexts nearly instantly. Driven by an open-source toolkit, the platform encourages community developers to build and share custom utility-focused workflows, prompt configurations, and tool integrations via its GitHub repository.

Google has introduced FunctionGemma, a specialized 270M parameter model designed to bring efficient, action-oriented AI experiences directly to mobile devices through on-device function calling. By leveraging Google AI Edge and LiteRT-LM, the model enables complex tasks—such as managing calendars, controlling device hardware, or executing specific game logic in the "Tiny Garden" demo—to be performed entirely offline with high speed and low latency. Available for testing in the Google AI Edge Gallery app on both Android and iOS, FunctionGemma allows developers to move beyond simple text generation toward building responsive, "agentic" applications that interact seamlessly with the physical and digital world without relying on cloud processing.
