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.

What is Google Firebase Studio and how this tool works to create artificial intelligence applications

Let’s explain what Google Firebase Studio is, the new tool for Create applications with artificial intelligence. You can do it without writing a line of code, just describing Google’s AI what you want, so that it generates the code for you. At the end of the process, you will have a functional web application that you can use and publish to see the light. Obviously, this is only prototyped, because you will also have the option to edit and review the code on your own to make sure everything is fine. What is Google Firebase Studio Google Firebase is the Webs and Applications Development Platform Created by Google. The idea is to cover most of the needs of developers, being able to store software, provide notification system for apps, necessary databases and authentication services or use analysis. And in 2025 Google has created Firebase Studio, which is a section within this platform that allows you Create webs and apps with artificial intelligence. You do not have to do anything, it’s something like Vibe Codingwhere AI generates the code and you just have to check it. The idea of ​​this service is that you simply have to Describe the type of application you want to create. For that, you must define what you want me to do in detail with a natural language. You have to describe what you want to do with the app, how it should be, its functions and anything else you can think of the same as if you will explain to a person. For this, Google Firebase Studio uses Geminithe artificial intelligence system of the company itself. Specifically use Gemini 2.0 Flashwhich will be the one that is responsible for interpreting your description, and to generate the application code in a few minutes. Of course, remember that what this tool will generate They are applications prototypes. Once you have it, you may have errors, and you will have to check the code, make the corrections you want and click on Post so that Google is in charge of hosting her. How to use Firebase Studio The first thing you have to do is enter the Firebase website, whose address is Firebase.google.com. Once inside, click on the button Begincontinue with the introductory steps that appear when you are going to use this program for the first time. This will take you to the Firebase Studio page, whose address to enter later is Studio.firebase.google.com. The tool interface is similar to that of an artificial intelligence chatbot, you have a writing field where you should Define what you want the application to do. Then click on Prototype with AI. This will take you to a Gemini page, where you are shown Suggested options and design For this application, as well as a name. On the right you have the icon of a pencil in case you want to make changes in the suggestion. When you have the app as you want, click on Prototype This App To create it. If you click on the edit button with the pencil iconyou will go to a page where you can manually change what you want within the description, including colors or functions. You also have a field to write the changes you want to make and that the AI ​​is in charge. When you finish click on Save. You will also have a button Prototype This App To start creating it from this window. And that’s it, then you’ll see in front of your eyes how the application code is createdand how after doing so, possible errors are sought and corrected. And that’s it. When you finish you will have a demonstration of the application to try it, and below you will have the button Edit of Code to review and make changes in the code. Up to the right you have a publishing button so that the web application is accessible. In Xataka Basics | Gemini Advance functions that become free in March 2025
