Google Launches ‘Vibe Coding’ in AI Studio to Turn Prompts Into Apps

Google positions the Gemini-powered workflow as a way to turn plain-language prompts into working multi-modal apps for a broader pool of creators.

Overview

  • AI Studio now uses Gemini to assemble the right models and APIs from a single natural-language description, generating multi-modal app scaffolds in minutes.
  • Annotation Mode enables UI-level edits by letting users highlight elements and instruct Gemini to modify visuals or behavior through conversational commands.
  • A revamped App Gallery and a Brainstorming Loading Screen provide example projects and context-aware ideas to accelerate prototyping.
  • Users can add their own API key when the free quota is exhausted, with automatic switching back to the free tier on renewal to keep work moving.
  • Industry coverage welcomes the accessibility gains but warns vibe-coded apps often require human review and infrastructure setup, as a Google product lead separately teased game-building via vibe coding by year’s end.
