Google has enhanced Canvas with its Gemini 2.5 models, enabling users to easily transform documents and ideas into interactive web applications, podcasts, and more through a feature called "vibe coding." This upgrade allows even those without coding skills to create functional apps and share them, making app development more accessible to a wider audience. Despite some limitations, the potential for creativity and collaboration is significantly increased.
Google has launched Firebase Studio, a cloud-based AI-powered integrated development environment that allows users to create full-stack apps using natural language prompts. This tool enables users to prototype applications quickly without needing extensive programming knowledge, directly competing with the vibe coding trend exemplified by Cursor AI. Firebase Studio supports various programming languages and frameworks, streamlining the app development process.
