In what is now her second big partnership around Android, Google has named Paris Hilton as an “Icon in Residence” for Android, with a focus on what Android’s new AI tools can do for users.
Announced on The Keyword, Google is teaming up with Paris Hilton – yes, that Paris Hilton – to showcase what Android and Google’s AI tools, specifically those for app building, can do for real people.
Hilton, who calls herself an “undercover nerd,” says she has been an Android user “for years.” Specifically, she’s a Motorola user, as Motorola and Paris Hilton have been partners around the Razr brand for quite some time – with the bright pink Razr to prove it.
But where that is a partnership meant to sell phones to a fashionable audience, Google’s teamup with Paris Hilton is all about Android and AI. Specifically, as Hilton explains, it’s about “what’s possible when creativity and technology work together.”
The first example of this is “Iconic Ideas,” a Gemini Canvas project that lets you create tools using AI, all themed to be pink and sparkly. As Google explains:
Organize your ideas, inspo, and tasks with Paris’s custom app and earn sparkle points when you cross things off your list.
On a landing page regarding Google’s partnership with Paris Hilton, the company showcases the Android-powered Razr Fold – which we just reviewed – while also showing off Circle to Search, Gemini Canvas, and Gemini’s Omni and Nano Banana creative tools.
