Google AI Studio

Also known as: AI Studio, Google AI Studio IDE

Google's web-based IDE for building with Gemini models. You can prototype prompts, test multimodal inputs, get API keys, explore model capabilities, and vibe-code apps directly from the browser, all before writing a line of production code.

Google AI Studio is the starting point for anyone wanting to build with Gemini. It's a browser-based playground and prototyping environment: you can write prompts, test them across different Gemini model versions, upload images or documents to test multimodal capabilities, and export the working configuration as production API code in Python or JavaScript.

Unlike a general-purpose IDE, AI Studio is specifically optimized for the prompt iteration cycle. It shows token counts, lets you compare outputs across model variants, and provides a system instruction panel so you can set up a consistent persona or constraint set for testing. Free API keys are available directly from AI Studio for prototyping.

Google has been expanding AI Studio to support vibe-coding workflows: at I/O 2025, Gemini's product team showcased how non-technical users can build apps directly by describing them in natural language inside AI Studio. It also provides access to Gemini's Deep Research API and the Interactions API for developers building research-capable applications.
