# Early access program

ML Kit's early access program gives developers the opportunity to partner with
the ML Kit team and have access to upcoming APIs that are still under
development. This collaboration allows us to optimize the implementations before
we make them widely available in the official release.

We make decisions on the release of an API based on the feedback we receive
during the early access program.

The early access program also lets developers help shape the design of new APIs
by giving us feedback on the onboarding experience, thoughts on features, and
suggestions on how it can be used. We make decisions on the release of an API
partially based on your feedback.

If you create an interesting app, it could potentially be showcased on the ML
Kit site.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** There is no guarantee that a feature in early access will ever become generally available. It may remain an early access feature indefinitely, be shutdown, or be combined with other features into packages designed for specific developer audiences. Some early access features may eventually become generally available, but there is no fixed release schedule.

There are no APIs in the early access program at this time.
