Wow this is incredible.
Google is getting dead serious about dev tooling — their new Firebase Studio is going to be absolutely insane for the future of software development.

A brand new IDE packed with incredible and free AI coding features to build full-stack apps faster than ever before.
Look at how it was intelligently prototyping my AI app with lightning speed — simply stunning.

AI is literally everywhere in Firebase Studio — right from the very start of even creating your project.
This is Project IDX on steroids.
Lightning-fast cloud-based IDE
Genius agentic AI
Dangerous Firebase integration and instant deploymen
It’s actually based on Project IDX but way better.
All my IDX projects are already there automatically — zero effort in migration.

And it looks like they’re going with light theme this time — vs dark IDX.
Before even opening any project Gemini is there to instantly scaffold whatever you have in mind.


Firebase Studio uses Gemini 2.5 Flash — the thinking model that’s been seriously challenging Claude and Grok since a few weeks ago.
For free.
And you can choose among their most recent models — but only Gemini (sorry).

Although looks like there could be a workaround with the Custom model ID stuff.
For project creation there’s still dozens of templates to choose from — including no template at all:
