Google takes on Cursor with Firebase Studio, its AI builder for vibe coding
Google has quietly launched Firebase Studio, which is a cloud-based AI-powered integrated development environment that lets you build full-fledged apps using prompts.
Google’s Firebase Studio comes at an interesting time when Cursor AI is storming the “vibe coding” trend.
Cursor AI, reportedly valued at $10 billion, is an AI-powered integrated development environment that integrates AI features directly into the coding environment, so you can vibe code your app without programming knowledge.
Google has been competing head to head with OpenAI and Claude with Gemini, but it hasn’t had a product to ride the vibe coding trend—until now.

According to documents seen by BleepingComputer, Firebase Studio supports many programming languages and frameworks, including React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, Flutter, Android, Node.js, Java, Python Flask, and more.
You can also use natural language and images to describe your app idea, and the AI will help you prototype it in seconds.
You don’t have to write the entire code yourself. The idea is to follow your vibe and code it using AI.
In our tests, BleepingComputer was able to create a working prototype of a full-fledged website by just describing the idea.
Since Firebase Studio is also a cloud-based IDE, you can modify the code and add your own improvements without using any other IDE, such as Visual Studio.
If you’re interested, you can try Firebase Studio from here. However, remember, it requires a Gemini API key.
