TL;DR
- Google has brought several new features to its AI Edge Gallery app.
- The on-device AI app now offers chat history and notification reminders.
- The app also supports the MCP feature, so it can interact with other apps and services like Maps and email.
Google’s AI Edge Gallery app allows you to easily download and run AI models on-device, making it handy if you want a more private and versatile AI experience. However, the search giant is bringing even more improvements to the app as part of its I/O developer conference.
For starters, Google announced that AI Edge Gallery on Android now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) feature. MCP is an open-source protocol that offers a standardized way for on-device AI models to interact with other apps and services. MCP servers can be hosted on a home computer or in the cloud.
