This was a fun talk to put together, and gave me a chance to talk about all the neat little-known tools out there, like CodeSearch and AndroidX.dev. Bring on more live coding!

They're pretty cool, and it's at least a little obvious that these will form the basis of some agentic Android future. The bad news is, you need to be a very privileged app to call them right now - EXECUTE_APP_FUNCTIONS is internal|privileged.

App Functions seem to be more transactional `Intent`s - typed functions that can be called by other apps with schemas, versioning, and even some notion of backwards compatibility!

Weekly for our public-facing apps. As-needed for internal apps where we control the hardware! We’ve wanted to go nightly with some internal apps, but have a few constraints which means it’s not realistic right now.
