Ever wanted to build a full‑stack app without the usual setup headache? At Google Cloud Next ’25 in Las Vegas, Google answered that wish by unveiling Firebase Studio, a browser‑based IDE powered by Gemini that lets you prototype, build, and ship AI‑driven apps—all from your browser.
Under the hood, Firebase Studio runs on a full Google Cloud VM built on Code OSS. You can tweak your environment with Nix, share custom templates with teammates, and say goodbye to local SDK installs.
Start fast with over 60 templates covering Next.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, Python Flask, Go, Flutter, and more. Or import your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repo in seconds and pick up right where you left off.
The real magic? Natural‑language prototyping. Describe your dream app—“A recipe finder with AI meal suggestions and user login”—and Firebase Studio will scaffold a Next.js project complete with routes, UI, and backend logic in under a minute.
Need tweaks? Chat with Gemini inline. Ask it to add Google Sign‑In, switch to dark mode, generate unit tests, or squash bugs. It understands your code context and applies changes instantly.
When your prototype feels solid, hit Publish. Firebase App Hosting or Cloud Run handles the build, CDN, and server‑side rendering—all with one click.
Developers are already buzzing. On X, @Firebase tweeted:
“Meet Firebase Studio: A cloud-based, agentic dev environment powered by Gemini ✨”
Meanwhile, on Product Hunt, Firebase Studio shot to the #3 spot on launch day with over 500 upvotes, proving there’s real excitement for a frictionless, AI‑first IDE.
From rapid MVPs and hackathons to live coding workshops, Firebase Studio cuts days of setup down to minutes, empowering startups, educators, and solo builders alike.
Firebase Studio is free to try in Preview (no SLA yet). Ready to jump in? Visit the Firebase Studio docs and click Try Firebase Studio. Then, simply chat your idea and watch the AI do the heavy lifting.
