Yes, apps published from AI Studio default to the free tier of Google Cloud Run (0:37 – 0:40). This means there is no cost to you unless your usage exceeds specific monthly thresholds (0:40 – 0:43).
Free Tier Details:
- Monthly Compute Limits: You get 180,000 vCPU-seconds and 360,000 GiB-seconds of memory.
- Request Limit: Up to 2 million requests per month.
- Networking: 5 GB of data transfer out per month.
- Regional Requirement: To qualify for these limits, your resources must be deployed in designated U.S. regions (us-central1, us-east1, or us-west1).
- Billing Account: Please note that a valid billing account is required to set up the project, even if your usage stays within the free tier limits.
How to Build an App in 5 Steps
- Enter Build Mode: Navigate to Google AI Studio and switch to the Build tab on the left navigation panel. [1, 5]
- Select Your Platform: Use the platform picker to choose between building a Web App or a native Android App. [6, 7]
- Describe Your Idea: Type a natural language prompt explaining what you want (e.g., “Create a daily fitness dashboard with a calorie tracker and water log” or “Build a shared to-do list using Firebase”). [1, 6, 8]
- Preview and Refine: Watch the AI generate the code and interface in seconds. For web apps, an interactive preview will appear on your screen; for Android apps, it launches an in-browser emulator. You can chat with the AI to refine features (e.g., “Change the theme to dark mode”). [1, 4, 6, 9, 10]
- Publish and Share: Click the Publish button. Web apps are instantly deployed to Google Cloud Run to provide a live
.run.appURL. Android apps can be downloaded directly to your phone via ADB or pushed directly to the Google Play Store internal test track. [1, 4, 10, 11]
Ideal Use Cases for Quick Building [12]
- Data Dashboards: Track metrics like weather, fitness habits, or business statistics.
- CRUD Applications: Simple tools to Create, Read, Update, and Delete local data entries.
- Form Workflows: Multi-step forms, calculator tools, and validation engines.
