Tech giant Google Cloud Next unveiled on Thursday “Firebase Studio”, a generative AI-powered, full-stack app development platform that enables users to build and deploy mobile and web apps within minutes—directly from a browser.
Powered by Google’s Gemini AI and built on the familiar Code OSS project, Firebase Studio brings together tools like Genkit and Project IDX in a unified cloud workspace. The platform supports various languages and frameworks including Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, Flutter, React, Angular, and more.
With over 60 prebuilt templates and a natural language-powered prototyping agent, users can design interfaces, define workflows, and structure APIs—without writing a single line of code. They can then deploy their projects to Firebase App Hosting, Cloud Run, or custom infrastructure.
Google promises a seamless development lifecycle: from prototyping to debugging, unit testing, and live deployment, all assisted by Gemini’s AI agents. Early-access users from the Google Developer Program can tap into specialized agents like code migration, testing, and documentation bots.
Although still in preview, Firebase Studio is generating buzz. One early reviewer on YouTube hailed it as a “game changer” for AI-assisted app development. Others likened it to a powerful fusion of platforms like Cursor, Replit, and Bolt—only more integrated and accessible.
Due to exceptionally high demand, access is currently limited, but Google encourages users to sign in with their Google accounts to join the preview.
