You can now create your own version of an Android mascot called "The Bot". By choosing materials, clothing, accessories, and props, you can customize The Bot to your liking.
Google wants you to create your own Android mascot
In February 2024, Google launched a simple web tool that lets you create your own Android bot. This isn't a "bot" in the AI sense, but a customized version of the mascot that has been synonymous with Google 's mobile operating system since 2007.
Google launched this fun game at the same time as MWC 2024. But hopefully the option to create a custom version of your Android mascot will continue after the tech event is over. After all, it's one of the more fun things you can do on your Android phone.
For Google itself, it represents a bit of a branding exercise. Everyone knows what Android is, but its mascot has been quietly hiding in the shadows for years.
How to create your own custom Android mascot
To create your own Android mascot, visit the Create Your Own Android Bot page on Android.com.
On the right you will see the stock version of the Android mascot, while on the left are the different options you can choose from to customize your bot.
First, choose the material you want to build your Android bot in. There are 25 options in total, ranging from solid colors to quirky things like location-stamped brown suitcases, circuit boards, and transparent gumball machines.
Once you’ve decided on a material, pick some clothes for your bot. There are 20 outfits to choose from, or you can choose to leave your mascot completely costumeless. The Kill Bill-style leather catsuit and astronaut outfit are popular options.
Next up are the accessories. There are 20 to choose from, including pirate eye patches, halos, and wizard hats.
Last but not least are the props. Again, there are 20 options and you can only choose one. So take your time and choose carefully between a guitar, an Xbox controller, a slice of pizza, etc.
There are thousands of different combinations, making it difficult to create an Android mascot that looks exactly like anyone you know — unless you both share a very specific sense of design.
What can you do with your custom Android mascot?
Once you've created your own Android bot, you can download it for yourself as a PNG file or share a QR code for others to download. Unfortunately, your new Android mascot is just a static image that can't be integrated into Android in any way - at least not yet.
The Android mascot has been around since 2007. While people initially called it “Bugdroid,” Google now simply calls it “The Bot.” Like Android, The Bot has gone through many changes, most notably getting a 3D upgrade in 2023.
Now, allowing for custom Android mascots adds a little more fun to this mascot.
