Google launched a vibe coding platform that could wipe out most paid app builders.
This is one of those things that feels obvious after you see it. You can now spin up a working AI web app in minutes, without touching a backend. The flow is basically this: 1) Create the app Open Google AI Studio - https://aistudio.google.com/vibe-code?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Cloud-SS-DR-AIS-FY26-global-gsem-1713578&utm_content=text-ad&utm_term=KW_google%20ai%20studio&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23417416052&gbraid=0AAAAACn9t67hiD6ZpsxqMDrr3dOiy2-fs&gclid=CjwKCAiAs4HMBhBJEiwACrfNZXSQvS_PZr_TmQtbwVIOlak4-mb066Zi8N2OA5EoAVU-L0DfZVN3FRoCW74QAvD_BwE Use a web app template or paste your own prompt That’s your “spec” 2) Run it instantly As soon as generation finishes, you can: - Run the app inside the studio - Test inputs and uploads - See how the model actually behaves Example prompt I tested: “build a rent vs buy calculator for first-time homebuyers in 2026" 3) Export and shareDownload the generated project filesHost it anywhere that supports static sites Send a live link Before publishing, just do a quick sanity check: - Add your API key - Set usage limits - Confirm safety and quota rules That’s it. No server setup. No complex infra. No waiting weeks to validate an idea. If you’re building tools, internal apps, demos, or even lightweight products, this massively collapses the distance between idea and something people can actually click on. We’re very close to “prompt → product” being a normal workflow.
