Google steps up its competition with @Lovable, @bolt.new, @Replit, @Windsurf, @Cursor et al!


You can use Firebase Studio with 3 workspaces at no cost. Google Developer Program members get 10 workspaces, and those with a Premium Google Developer Program membership get 30 workspaces. Some integrations (e.g. Firebase App Hosting) may require a billing account.

Finally a way to develop through Gemini in Firebase Studio! 🤩


Bringing Gemini’s generative AI into a cloud-based dev environment feels like a serious productivity win.


Who knows…maybe Google already has plans to expand support for more programming languages down the line! 🚀

Just found this poped out on my Firebase Dashboard. Definitely will try.

How often is the Gemini AI updated though? Can it get even smarter over time?

@raj_tripathi5 We've been dealing with a lot of capacity issues due to demand. We're working on it!

Launching soon!

Currently using firebase for backend on my mobile apps, this looks like it could be helpful. Will look into this a bit more this weekend. Congratulations to the team on the launch.

Looking forward to see an API for this.
I'm going to extend my own AI Assistant with this.

Wow! Great job

Launching soon!

What kind of projects, libraries, frameworks, etc is it best at?

Aleks Dahlberg

powerful!

AMAZING! Was waiting for Google to come up with something like this. Have been using Cursor, Replit, Lovable..and am a fan of Google ecosystem. So it has to flop really hard for me to NOT use it.

Just tried this, only outputs UI and any of the buttons etc nothing works, the screen doesn't scroll on popup elements, Not entirely ready as other existing tools.

This sounds like a game changer for speeding up prototyping and debugging. How seamless is the integration with existing Firebase projects—can you drop in and start working right away?

As an engineer, this looks like a game-changer! 👀

This is a game-changer for indie builders and AI-native product teams! Firebase Studio + Gemini is making full-stack app development faster, smarter, and more accessible than ever. Already building with it — loving the velocity!

Koen Verstrepen

Curious how this compares to Cursor, Lovable, etc. Will give it a spin!

Congrats on the launch, looks like this is a freemium product idea. Here's your free idea report:
