San Francisco: Google AI Studio has launched a completely rebuilt vibe coding experience. It is powered by Antigravity, Google’s new coding agent and backed by a native Firebase integration. Together they let users build real, deployable web applications from plain-language prompts. No leaving the platform. No separate backend setup.
The gap between prototype and production has always been where vibe coding broke down. A working demo is one thing. An app with user authentication, a live database, real-time multiplayer, and external API connections is another. The new experience closes that gap directly.
When the Antigravity agent detects that an app needs a database or login system, it proactively suggests a Firebase integration. Once approved, it provisions Cloud Firestore for storage and Firebase Authentication for secure sign-in automatically.
The agent also installs external libraries on its own. If an app needs smooth animations, it pulls in Framer Motion. If it needs icons, it adds Shadcn. Users can also connect their own API credentials to integrate live services like Google Maps or payment processors, stored securely in a new Secrets Manager.
The update adds support for Next.js alongside existing React and Angular frameworks. Sessions now persist across devices, close a tab and the project picks up exactly where it left off. Google says the platform has already been used internally to build hundreds of thousands of apps over the past few months.
The launch sits alongside this week’s Stitch redesign, Google’s AI-native UI design canvas. Taken together, the two products form a clear pipeline, design in Stitch, build in AI Studio, ship via Antigravity.
