Google AI Studio

Google AI Studio is a browser-based development environment for prototyping, testing, and building applications with Google’s Gemini models. The product is used to experiment with prompts, configure model behavior, generate code, obtain API keys, and move from prompt testing into application development with the Gemini API.

Core capabilities include prompt testing for chat and other model interactions, configuration of model parameters and safety settings, and access to tools such as structured output, function calling, code execution, and grounding. Google AI Studio also supports a Build mode that can generate web applications and Android apps from natural-language prompts, show the resulting code, maintain multi-file project context, and provide live previews during iteration. For web apps, Google describes a full-stack environment with a React frontend by default and a Node.js server-side runtime; the platform also supports secrets management, npm packages, Firebase setup, sharing, and deployment to Cloud Run.

Free users have rate limits and their data may be used to train Google models, whereas paid API users get higher limits and data privacy. Charges apply if connecting a billing account to the API, upgrading to Google AI subscriptions, or using it in production.

Google AI Studio was the means to gain access to Gemini CLI, which Google discontinued access to for most users in June of 2026. Access to Gemini models is now obtained through Google Antigravity.
