Google plans to help turn those personal AI-generated apps into wide releases.
The short version
- Google has already added a few AI features to the Play Store, but a lot more are coming .
- The previously released Ask Play feature is expanding to offer more AI-powered discovery options in Google’s app store, and Google is also using AI to build a recommendation engine called Game Finder.
- For people who have embraced AI to build their own apps, the Play Store will soon offer a way to privately host and share those creations.
What happened
Google rolled out Ask Play in 2025 as a small chatbot interface on Play Store listings. It lets you ask questions about an app or game, either by typing it in manually or choosing from a list of suggested queries.
Why it matters
Starting today, Ask Play is expanding into a more general way to search for apps and games.
