Firebase Studio

Firebase Studio is Google's agentic cloud-based development environment (formerly Project IDX) that helps you build and ship production-quality full-stack AI apps. It features an App Prototyping agent powered by Gemini for rapid natural language prototyping, integrated Firebase services (Firestore, Authentication, App Hosting), and a full Code OSS workspace in the browser. > **Note**: Firebase Studio is being sunsetted on March 22, 2027. Google recommends migrating to **Google AI Studio** (for browser-based prototyping) or **Google Antigravity** (for code-first agentic development). ## Key Features - **App Prototyping agent**: Create full-stack web apps from natural language, images, or drawings — no code required - **Gemini-powered coding assistance**: Code generation, completion, bug fixing, testing, and documentation across all development surfaces - **Integrated Firebase services**: Cloud Firestore, Firebase Authentication, App Hosting, Cloud Functions, and more - **Browser-based Code OSS**: Full VS Code environment running in the cloud, accessible from anywhere - **Multimodal prompts**: Use text, images, and drawing tools to describe your app - **Nix-based workspaces**: Customizable runtime environments and toolchains ## App Prototyping Agent (Prototyper) The core feature — describe your app in natural language (or upload a mockup) and the agent: 1. Generates the full-stack application 2. Sets up Firestore and Firebase Authentication if needed 3. Deploys to Firebase App Hosting 4. Supports iterative refinement through conversation ## Migration Path | Current Tool | Migration Target | |-------------|-----------------| | App Prototyping agent | Google AI Studio | | Code-first development | Google Antigravity | | Firebase services | Remain available outside Studio | ## Links - [Firebase Studio](https://firebase.google.com/docs/studio) - [Migration Guide](https://firebase.google.com/docs/studio/migrating-project) - [Announcement](https://firebase.blog/posts/2026/03/announcing-ai-studio-integration/)
