Firebase Studio
Google's free cloud IDE — prototype to deployed app
Overview
Firebase Studio is Google's free browser-based development environment: describe an app and the Gemini-powered agent prototypes it, then refine in a full cloud VS Code workspace and deploy to Firebase hosting in clicks. Zero local setup, real full-stack output.
Features
How to Get Started
Open firebase.studio, sign in with Google, and describe your app in the prototyper — or import a repo. Switch to code view anytime; deploy via the built-in Firebase integration.

How does it compare to Bolt/Lovable?
Same prompt-to-app category, but with a real cloud IDE underneath and free Google infrastructure — less polished UX, more room to grow into real code.
Is it really free?
Yes with fair-use limits on workspaces; Firebase usage follows normal Firebase pricing once you scale.
Can I bring an existing repo?
Yes — import from GitHub and work on it in the cloud workspace.
