Meet your backend assistant
In AI Studio, you don't have to hassle with database provisioning and set up. The AI agent is smart enough to notice when your app needs to save data. Whether you're building a simple to-do list or a complex client portal, it proactively sets up Cloud Firestore for you so you can stay in your creative flow.

3 steps to a full-stack app

1. Ask for a feature that requires stored data
In AI Studio Build mode, describe what you want your app to remember. You might say, “Add a sign-up form that saves names and email” or “Let users save their favorite recipe.” The agent will immediately recognize that you need a database.

2. Approve the Setup
As the AI agent processes your request, it will proactively detect that your app needs a backend to save data. A card will appear in the chat panel asking to Enable Firebase. Simply click the "Enable Firebase" button, and the agent will automatically provision Cloud Firestore and link it to your project.

3. Launch Your New App
Once your app is ready, hit the Share button to generate a full-screen preview link. When you’re ready to move to a permanent home, you can deploy your project directly to Google Cloud. This takes your creation and puts it on a live URL that’s ready for your users.
