Firebase Studio – Google’s AI programming tool, one-stop development of full-stack applications | AI Toolset

What is Firebase Studio

Firebase Studio is launched by GoogleAI programming toolsusers can complete the construction, modification and deployment of full-stack applications in one-stop. Firebase Studio integrates Project IDX and Firebase’s dedicated AI Agent, providing comprehensive development support from back-end to front-end, mobile applications, etc. Firebase Studio core features include AI-assisted code generation, natural language prototyping, a highly customizable development environment, and deep integration with Firebase and Google Cloud. Firebase Studio supports multiple development modes, and developers can seamlessly switch between coding and no-code prompts to quickly iterate applications.

Key features of Firebase Studio

• Import projects from source control systems or local archives: Supports importing existing projects from local archive files, as well as source code control systems such as GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
• Template and examples: Provides a rich library of templates and sample applications, covering multiple languages ​​(such as Go, Java, .NET, Node.js, Python Flask) and frameworks (such as Next.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, Android, Flutter, etc.). Developers quickly select templates or sample applications to start a new project and create custom template sharing.
• Natural Language Prototyping: With the help of the App Prototyping agent provided by Gemini, use multi-modal prompts such as natural language, pictures and drawings to generate a full-stack Web application prototype without writing code to quickly iterate development.
• AI Coding Assistance: Use the AI ​​features provided by Gemini in Firebase to help write code and documentation, fix bugs, write and run unit tests, manage dependencies, etc. in all development interfaces (such as interactive chat, code generation, tool operation, and inline code suggestions).
• A highly customizable development environment：
  • Based on Code OSS: Firebase Studio is built on the popular Code OSS project and runs on a full virtual machine (VM) powered by Google Cloud, providing a familiar and highly customizable development experience.
  • Custom configuration: Nix custom development environment, including system software packages, language tools, IDE configuration, application preview, etc., and supports custom template sharing project and the entire development environment configuration.
• Built-in tools and integrations：
  • Preview and simulation: Preview web and Android applications directly in the browser, and simulate, test and debug based on built-in runtime services and tools.
  • Deep integration: Seamless integration with Firebase and Google Cloud services.

How to use Firebase Studio

• Visit the official website: Visit Firebase StudioOfficial websitecomplete registration and login.
• Import method：
  • Import from the repository: Supports importing projects directly from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, which is convenient and fast.
  • Upload local files: Upload local compressed files (such as .zip format).
  • Export function: After the project is developed, export directly from Firebase Studio to GitHub, which is convenient for version management and team collaboration.
• Using AI to make prototypes: Prototyping agent based on App Prototyping agent is used in conjunction with Gemini to create, develop, test, iterate and publish web applications in natural language.
• Select the template to start building: Firebase Studio provides a variety of templates and sample applications, supporting multiple languages, frameworks, and databases.

Product pricing for Firebase Studio

• Free users: Each user gets three workspaces for free.
• Google Developer Program Users: After joining the Google Developer Program, users can create up to 10 workspaces.
• Google Developer Advanced Solution User: After subscribing to Google Developer Advanced Solutions, users get 30 workspaces.
• Additional fees: Certain integrations (such as Firebase App Hosting) require a Cloud Billing account. If you create a Firebase project using Firebase Studio to associate a billing account with the project, the project will automatically upgrade to a pay-as-you-go Blaze pricing plan. Gemini API usage will be upgraded to the paid tier and will need to be paid for the paid service usage that exceeds the free quota.

Firebase Studio application scenarios

• Rapid prototyping: Independent developer, startup team, product manager, quickly generates web application prototypes based on natural language and multimodal prompts, without coding verification ideas, suitable for rapid iteration and sharing.
• Full stack application development: Full-stack developers and development teams conduct full-stack development from the back-end to the front-end, which is suitable for the complete development process of complex projects.
• Team Collaborative Development: Medium and large development teams and enterprise-level users share the development environment configuration to ensure the consistency and efficiency of team development.
• AI-driven development: Developers who hope to use AI to improve efficiency will use AI functions to quickly generate code, fix errors, write tests and documents to improve development efficiency and quality.
• Education and training: Helps novices to quickly get started and understand the development process, suitable for teaching and self-study.
