Google Pixel 9 will reportedly get a new app that will let users generate custom stickers using artificial intelligence (AI). This feature could be available on Google's upcoming smartphones courtesy of a new app called Creative Assistant, which is said to be under development. With this move, Google is expected to compete with Apple's Genmoji, a similar AI sticker generation feature which was unveiled as a feature coming to the iOS 18 update at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 keynote earlier this month.

AI Stickers on Google Pixel 9

An Android Authority report states that Google is developing a Creative Assistant app which is scheduled to debut with the Pixel 9 series later this year. It is said to bring AI capabilities which may enable users to generate custom stickers. The report speculates it could also offer the same functionality with emoji.

Android 15 Beta 3 suggests that Google is working on a "Creative Assistant" app that could use generative AI to create custom stickers. The app isn't available yet, but it could be something we'll see on the Pixel 9.

The new Creative Assistant app is tipped to be Pixel-exclusive, and its mention was reportedly spotted in a binary related to the TPU in the Tensor chip. Moreover, it is also reported to be referenced in the Google Markup app that was released with the Android 15 Beta 3.

The app's package name will reportedly be “com.google.android.apps.pixel.creativeassistant”. As per the report, a new “remix” option will appear in the Markup app which is speculated to offer sticker generation functionality using generative AI. This sticker may then be added to a screenshot or an image.
