Google Expands Firebase Studio with AI Tools for Popular Frameworks

Google has officially released a series of updates to Firebase Studio aimed at expanding its AI development capabilities and deepening integration with popular frameworks and Firebase services.

For your information, the released features were unveiled at I/O Connect India.

At the core of the update are AI-optimised templates for Flutter, Angular, React, Next.js, and general Web projects. These templates enable developers to build applications in Firebase Studio using Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, with the workspace defaulting to an autonomous Agent mode.

“We’re unveiling new updates that help you combine the power of Gemini with these new features to go from idea to app using some of your favourite frameworks and languages,” said Vikas Anand, director of product management at Google.

Firebase Studio now supports direct prompting of Gemini to integrate backend services. Developers using App Prototyping Agent or an AI-optimised template can simply describe the desired functionality, and Gemini will recommend and incorporate relevant Firebase services, including adding libraries, modifying code, and assisting with configuration.

“You can get assistance from Gemini to help you plan and execute tasks independently without waiting for step-by-step approval,” said Jeanine Banks, vice president and general manager, Developer X at Google.
