• What is Studio Bot?
• What about how devs/companies may be wary of using Studio Bot, like how Apple and Samsung have banned devs from using ChatGPT?
• Cynical developers might be resistant to this. What's your take on that?
• What is developer reaction to the AI integration inside of Android Studio?
• Have you felt a change in interest or engagement with developers and partners as a whole in relation to larger form factors?
• What has been added to the OS, apis etc that devs can use to build better apps for foldable devices? - What kinds of features are devs NOT integrating for large screens, and they should!
• Can you comment on what "Modern Android" means to the team and how are you prioritizing new features and capabilities with "fixing" issues?
• What are your favorites Android 14 features?
• Google Is Spared a Search-Engine Switch by a Major Partner.

• @MishaalRahman: This feature is indeed live in Android 14 Beta 2! User Nick Cipriani shared this image from their Pixel. Oddly, they received this message while playing audio from their Bluetooth speaker and not headphones.
• @Nail_Sadykov: Looks like Android 14 will finally let you use system navigation while you're dragging & drop items. That is, you can take a photo or text from one app, open another app and drop it there.
