I have no idea how an app is programmed. I just created one in 20 seconds with Google Firebase

I have tried Learn to program a few times. Each and every one of them I have finished leaving it. Beyond the most basic foundations, I have no idea how to start building an app. My partner Iván Linares, from Xataka Android, has managed to create an application with the new tool from Google, Firebase. And, according to your experience, it is something that is achieved in five minutes.

So I wanted to test This tool To check if, the King of Dummies in programming, I could create my own applications in a matter of minutes. It would be an achievement.

Google Firebase. Google Firebase It is a cloud platform for the development of applications. It is not a new service, but now it has a new ally that allows you to even create an app: Gemini.

Thanks to the implementation of its artificial intelligence, one of the most powerful and covered of the moment, it is possible to create applications in Google Firebase. Best of all, we do not need to have a code idea. We just have to go to Firebase Studio.

Point that the process is completely free, and that we have up to three work spaces available. More than enough to to play beautifully with the tool. Gemini’s integration is still in the test phase, so we are warned that there may be errors.

Testing Google Firebase: Open Firebase is to open an interface that leaves no margin of error. We have a box to write the prompt, in which some ideas already preferred appear.

I have not wanted to complicate or the least: “A CALCULATOR APP”. Gemini has not taken five seconds to generate the keys of “Calcify”. It does suggest the name, and you can change it if you don’t like it.

In the summary that has offered me, the following data appeared, information about the app that we are going to create.

• The UI (the interface).
• Mathematical Operations Algorithm
• Dynamic screen to show the results
• Errors calculation
• Color palette

Wow. In case I did not convince me some part of this return on how to make the app, you only have to describe the changes. Now just play “Prototype This App” and expect magic to happen.

It is impressive to see how, in real time, everything is created. I have been especially attracted to checking how errors automatically self -correction, something that takes more than a few seconds. It has not taken a minute, in just 20 seconds the app.

Yes, it is nothing more than a calculator app. But it has created it an AI with a prompt of a line in less than 20 seconds. It is quite impressive. So far we have our app, but I don’t hide if I confess that I have released a “jo*er” just after. I wanted to try how long it takes to make changes. With a simple prompt.

I want the color of the “ac, c, and +/-” keys to be network, so there’s more distinction. I also want it to have the name “Calcify” Written in the Top Left Corner.

He has got to work, changing the necessary aspects to make the modification that I have told him and … It has not taken five seconds to return the app with the relevant modifications.

Firefly’s main limitation is in the publication, although it helps us a lot. We cannot directly ask you to generate the APK, and we will have to help ourselves more or technical knowledge to import the necessary files in Android Studio and end up generating the app file to use it outside Firebase.

However, it is an impressive tool as much as entertainment and to take our first programming steps. Combined with Chatgpt or Deepseek it has enormous potential.
