Google's 'Create My Widget' Feature Will Let You Vibe-Code Your Own Widgets

Google has unveiled a new "Create My Widget" feature for Android that allows users to generate custom widgets through natural language descriptions—a process being called "vibe-coding." The feature is set to launch on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones this summer.

How It Works

  • Natural Language Input: Users describe what they want in plain English, and the AI generates a functional widget
  • Custom Dashboards: Create personalized home screen widgets without any coding knowledge
  • Resizable & Flexible: Generated widgets can be added and resized on your home screen

Example Use Cases

  • Meal Planning: Ask for "three high-protein meal prep recipes every week" to get a custom recipe dashboard
  • Custom Weather: Cyclists can create weather widgets showing only wind speed and rain data
  • Travel Planning: Organize family reunion details—flights, hotels, restaurant reservations, and countdown timers—in a single widget

AI Integration

Gemini AI powers the feature and can:

  • Pull information from the web
  • Connect with Google apps (Gmail, Calendar)
  • Build personalized, multi-source dashboards
  • Function as a "personal assistant" that brings answers on repeat

What Google Says

"This is like you asking your personal assistant a question, and having them just bring you the answer on repeat. Think of it as asking Gemini things about the world, things about its knowledge of what's going on and events, as well as things about your personal data."

— Ben Greenwood, Director, PM, Android Core Experiences
