Here is how you can generate custom AI icons in Google Pixel with the latest feature drop. It already has some inbuilt AI icons.

It doesn't let you enter your own prompts and works similar to how you generate AI wallpapers on pixels

@GappsLeaks

Want to try AI icons on Android 17 beta 2 ?

• Download and install AI icons apk (available by default in QPR3)
• Update your theme packs app (if you haven't already from play store)
• Choose one of the SpongeBob theme to download in Theme pack section and apply it
• Then check the Icon section in wallpaper & styles, you should see existing icon packs and an option to create new icon pack as well.

Edit - I tried this on my pixel 9 and it worked, but can not guarantee that it will work for you.
