Firebender is an AI-powered Android Studio plugin that acts as an on-device coding agent. It helps Android developers write production-ready code faster by integrating deeply with Android Studio's built-in tools such as refactoring, debugging, and Logcat.
Key Features
- Figma to code: Paste a Figma link and get production-ready Jetpack Compose code that works with your existing design system.
- Emulator interaction: The agent can launch and interact with the emulator to test features, observe renders, and fix issues automatically.
- Iterative refinement: Using Compose previews, the agent iterates on UI code by inspecting visual output and applying improvements incrementally.
- Custom agents and sub-agents: Define custom agents via agent.md files with specific prompts, tools, and workflows. Sub-agents can run in parallel (Heavy mode) to make thousands of changes while preserving context.
- Inline rewriting: Select code, hit Cmd+K, and describe the change—the agent rewrites it in seconds.
- Voice mode: Talk to your IDE to describe changes.
Security & Compliance
- SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified.
- Zero data retention: inputs and outputs are not stored or used for training.
- No model lock-in: supports Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, and bring-your-own-API-key. Seamlessly switch models in the UI.
The plugin is free to download and integrates into your existing Android Studio workflow.
