Google launches ‘vibe coding’ in AI Studio
Google adds “vibe coding” to AI Studio, turning a single prompt into an AI app. Revamped App Gallery, Annotation Mode and quota options reduce setup friction.
Google has overhauled AI Studio with a new “vibe coding” experience designed to turn a single prompt into a working AI-powered app in minutes, cutting the usual setup work with APIs and SDKs.
Auto-assembled tools with Gemini
The update leans on the latest Gemini models to automatically assemble the right tools for multimodal projects. Describe the app you want — for example, generating video with Veo, building an image editor with Nano Banana, or crafting a writing assistant that verifies sources with Google Search — and AI Studio connects the necessary models and APIs behind the scenes. If you need a jumpstart, an “I’m Feeling Lucky” option suggests concepts to explore.
Try prompts like
- “Generate a product demo video with Veo from a script and storyboard.”
- “Build an image editor with Nano Banana that supports background removal.”
- “Create a writing assistant that drafts and verifies sources with Google Search.”
Explore with the redesigned App Gallery
Google has refreshed the App Gallery into a visual catalogue that showcases what’s possible with Gemini. Users can browse ideas, preview projects instantly, study starter code, and remix examples into their own builds.
While projects compile, a new Brainstorming Loading Screen surfaces context-aware prompts from Gemini, turning idle time into inspiration.
Point-and-edit with Annotation Mode
Refinement is meant to be more natural, too. A new Annotation Mode lets you select elements in your app and tell Gemini what to change — such as:
- “Make this button blue.”
- “Update the style of these cards.”
- “Animate this image from the left.”
The point-and-edit workflow removes the need to precisely describe UI changes in text or dig through code.
Keep building with flexible quotas
To minimize interruptions, AI Studio now allows you to add your own API key if you hit the free quota, then automatically returns to the free tier once it renews. The goal is to maintain momentum during prototyping without blocking builds.
Why it matters
Google frames these features as more than convenience: by weaving AI into every step from ideation to iteration, the company aims to lower the barrier to building sophisticated apps for both experienced developers and people who’ve never coded before. Tutorials are available via a YouTube playlist to help users get started with vibe coding.
With vibe coding, Google is positioning AI Studio as a faster, more intuitive way to prototype and ship AI apps, replacing plumbing and setup with prompt-driven creation and visual editing.
