Firebender
Firebender is an Android-native coding agent delivered as a JetBrains plugin for Android Studio. It writes features, runs tests in the emulator, and fixes issues on its own, so Android developers can stay inside the IDE they already use.
The plugin hooks into Android Studio refactor tools, the debugger, and logcat rather than acting like a generic chat window pasted on top. You can paste a Figma link to generate Jetpack Compose UI that fits an existing design system, or spin up custom agents and sub-agents for workflows like crash triage and code review.
Engineering teams at Instacart, Netflix, DoorDash, Slack, and other companies use it for daily Android work. It supports frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, plus bring-your-own-key options, with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification and a zero data retention policy for uploaded code.
Paste a Figma link and get Jetpack Compose output that respects your existing design system and components
The agent drives the Android emulator directly, running tests and fixing failures without leaving the IDE
Select code, hit Cmd+K, and describe what you want rewritten inline in a few seconds
Define custom agents with agent.md files or deploy sub-agents that triage crashes and inspect code paths on their own
Switch between Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.5, GPT 5.1 Codex, Gemini 3 Pro, and Grok Code, or plug in your own API key
Voice mode lets you describe changes out loud when typing would slow you down
Built specifically for Android Studio rather than a generic editor that treats mobile as an afterthought.
Can interact with the Android emulator to test features and fix failures without manual context switching.
Zero data retention policy with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification for enterprise security requirements.
Requires Android Studio or IntelliJ; there is no VS Code or standalone app option.
Extended agent usage requires a paid plan starting at $30 per month for the Developer tier.

Can Firebender turn Figma designs into Compose UI?
Yes. Firebender can paste a Figma link and generate production-ready Jetpack Compose that works with your existing design system and components, then iterate using Compose Previews inside Android Studio.
