It offers an App Prototyping agent that generates functional Next.js apps from prompts, images, or drawings, a Gemini-powered chat for iterating on code, a CodeOSS-based IDE with AI code assistance, instant device previews via QR code, one-click deployment through Firebase App Hosting, and real-time workspace sharing. It retains all Project IDX functionality including customizable Nix-based VMs, emulators, 60+ templates, and codebase import from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Gemini Code Assist agents for code migration, AI model testing, and documentation are coming soon via waitlist. Free tier includes 3 workspaces, with more available through the Google Developer Program. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Firebase Studio is a cloud-based, agentic development environment launched by Google that replaces and expands on Project IDX, incorporating all of its functionality plus new agentic features. It merges Project IDX, Genkit, and Gemini in Firebase into one platform, adding an App Prototyping agent, deeper Gemini code assistance, and tighter Firebase integration for building AI apps. _Developers weighing whether to migrate from Project IDX can track platform shifts like this on daily.dev._ ### How do I generate a working Next.js app prototype with AI in Firebase Studio? Using the App Prototyping agent in Firebase Studio, clicking Prototype this app generates a functional Next.js web app within seconds from a text prompt, an image, or even a drawing. Genkit and a Gemini API key are automatically wired up so AI features work without manual setup. _daily.dev helps developers exploring AI-assisted app prototyping keep up with new agentic tooling._ ### How many free workspaces do I get with Firebase Studio and what does the Google Developer Program add? Firebase Studio provides 3 workspaces at no cost by default. Google Developer Program members get 10 workspaces, and Premium Google Developer Program members get 30 workspaces, though some integrations like Firebase App Hosting may require a billing account. _daily.dev keeps builders evaluating cloud IDE plans informed on pricing and workspace limits._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Vibe-coded AI Studio apps with Firestore, Firebase, Cloud SQL](https://daily.dev/posts/vibe-coded-ai-studio-apps-with-firestore-firebase-cloud-sql-5faawqfxm) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#nextjs](https://daily.dev/tags/nextjs), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-studio-ajjtfhlbb) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Introducing Firebase Studio","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-studio-ajjtfhlbb","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-studio-ajjtfhlbb"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T12:17:57.978Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T12:26:23.569Z","description":"Google launched a preview of Firebase Studio, a cloud-based agentic development environment that merges Project IDX, Genkit, and Gemini in Firebase into one...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/feea4eae4171ca39919f3e000d6799a4?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/feea4eae4171ca39919f3e000d6799a4?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Firebase","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Firebase","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--i395oqZH--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787487448/logos/firebase-blog?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-studio-ajjtfhlbb","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"nextjs,google-gemini","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Firebase","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/firebase-blog"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Introducing Firebase Studio"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-firebase-studio-ajjtfhlbb#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Firebase Studio and how does it relate to Project IDX?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Firebase Studio is a cloud-based, agentic development environment launched by Google that replaces and expands on Project IDX, incorporating all of its functionality plus new agentic features.
