Android Studio Rabbit 2 goes stable with Bring Your Own Agent: 40+ coding agents including Claude Agent, Codex and Antigravity via the open ACP
On Oct 28, the day of Android Dev Summit, Google shipped Android Studio Rabbit 2 (2026.2.2) to the stable channel. The headline change is that Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA) moves from its September Canary preview to a stable feature: developers can plug any Agent Client Protocol (ACP) compatible coding agent into the IDE agent window. Google says more than 40 are available, including Anthropic Claude Agent, OpenAI Codex, JetBrains Junie and Google Antigravity, and users can sign in with personal or enterprise plans. The release also adds an agent skills manager, AI Change Review and agent-assisted LeakCanary fixes.
Key Takeaways
- Version 2026.2.2 reached the Stable channel on Oct 28; BYOA first appeared in preview with the Rabbit 2 Canary in September
- Google says 40+ ACP-compatible agents are available; Claude Agent, Codex and Antigravity are the defaults, and others install from the registry under Settings > Tools > AI > Agents
- Agents get IDE tools: the project graph and build diagnostics, Android SDK tools, terminal execution, emulator control, Logcat and Compose Preview
- Sign in with personal API keys or consumer and enterprise subscriptions; the built-in Android Studio agent stays free
- Also new: a skills manager preloaded with Android and Firebase skills, AI Change Review from three entry points, and agent-assisted LeakCanary fixes; Google's Mishaal Rahman said Android CLI users grew 10x
