Google AI Studio can now act as a free Cursor alternative You can build apps with built-in AI capabilities directly in the browser using just a Google account. Once you're done, you can even share or deploy them with a single click. (Steps an link below)

1. Go to AI Studio Access Google AI Studio with a free account. Then select the "Build" tab.

2. Write your instructions If you want to add AI features, mention Gemini (for text) or Imagen (for images). AI Studio will automatically add what you need to the code, without you needing to find an API key.

3. Share or deploy "Share" lets you retrieve a link without needing an API key for AI features: When a user uses your app, it will use its own "key" from AI Studio. "Deploy" allows you to make your app accessible in a more conventional way.

AI won't replace you, but a person using AI will. Join 500,000+ readers and learn how to use AI in just 5 minutes a day (for free).

I just asked it to build me a smart DOS with AI command. It did well. So much fun

Looks so good!

Latest Google updates made Google AI Studio really powerful! Most people do not yet realize the number of things we can create with it. No hype, only effectiveness.

Definitely. Probably the best dev platform to turn ideas into live apps.

I stumbled on it yesterday and played with it. Ended up building something while spending time actually implementing feature after feature instead of fighting broken UI code as I usually do with Cursor and Windsurf.

That's very cool. Thanks for your feedback!

Super great alternative but not near the same level. But really great for free!

Yes, different purpose and philosophy. But I'm very happy to see that it handles more than just a large HTML/CSS/JS file!
