Courtesy of an Android Authority source with a track record of digging up extensive insights into latest developments around Android, we now have a slight clue that a new feature named Creative Assistant is about to make its way to Pixel devices soon, and a potentially debut with the upcoming Pixel 9.

While acknowledging that very limited is at hand regarding the upcoming Google Pixel series, the tipster claims that the Creative Assistant feature is a part of a full-fledged AI-backed feature suite. The code for the feature was spotted in two different places in the latest Android 15 Beta 3.

The upcoming customised emoji feature is at the moment not available to be tried, but the publication clarifies that the possibility is very high that the it will allow users to remix stickers with the help if generative AI. The report doesn't reflect whether this will be done on-device or on the cloud.

The feature appears all set to rise above what people currently relish on the customisation offered with Google's Emoji Kitchen, and might as well outclass Apple's Genmoji it revealed during the WWDC conference two weeks back.
