About Google AI Studio
Google AI Studio is a web UI for developers to prototype with Gemini models before wiring them into apps. You can create freeform, chat, and structured prompts; test multimodal inputs (text + images, and video where supported); adjust parameters and safety settings; and then Get code to export a working snippet for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or Java. AI Studio also issues Gemini API keys and provides guardrails like content filters and system prompts. When you outgrow the playground, you can shift to the Gemini API or export/sync to Vertex AI for enterprise deployment, monitoring, and governance.
What makes it useful
- Zero-setup browser interface to explore Gemini capabilities and iterate on prompts
- Built‑in code export for multiple SDKs + quickstart docs to go from prompt to app
- Free usage inside the AI Studio UI; paid usage applies when calling the Gemini API
- Path to production via Google AI (Gemini API) or Google Cloud Vertex AI

Annotate mode: draw on UI → code
Google just showed off Annotate mode in Google AI Studio and it’s exactly the kind of vibe-coding magic we’ve been waiting for. You open your app in the Build view, hit Annotate, literally draw on the live preview. Little arrows, circles, quick notes like “make this button sticky” or “padding 24px” …
