Google’s Firebase Studio is launched for AI app building

Google’s new Firebase Studio was unveiled as a simple tool for making AI apps. It was designed to help developers build, test, and run AI-powered apps with ease.

This studio was introduced on April 9. Several tools were added, such as the IDX cloud editor, the Genkit AI framework, and Gemini, an AI helper. These were brought together in one place to give a smooth development experience.

App prototypes were made quickly by using natural words, pictures, or drawings. Developers were given a Gemini API key to make AI tools work right away.

Faster editing was made possible with help from Gemini. Changes like adding sign-in options or improving the design were done by chatting with the AI. A full code workspace was added too, with smart suggestions and help from Gemini.

A preview of the app was made using a link or QR code. One-click publishing was added using Firebase App Hosting. More features were added before final release.

Teamwork was made easier. A full workspace was shared using a link. Live editing with others in the same space was also allowed.

Early access to Gemini Code Assist was offered. Tasks like fixing code, testing AI models, and writing docs were supported by the tool.
