## AI overview

An 11-week experiment evaluated Android Journeys powered by Gemini for AI-driven UI testing in REA Group's production Android app and CI infrastructure. The tests generally remained resilient through UI changes, but CI setup took eight weeks, Firebase Test Lab was unsupported, and manual QA hours did not decrease. The team rated the experience 8.75 out of 10 and voted to continue.
