100-word summary
Google just upgraded AI Studio with a coding agent that provisions Firebase databases and authentication on the fly. Ask it to build a multiplayer game, and it wires up Cloud Firestore and login without you touching the console. The tool now supports Next.js, React, and Angular, with automatic API key storage so your secrets don't leak into code. Translation: prototypes can ship to real users the same day, backend included. Google calls this experimental, so expect rough edges. But the gap between "let me sketch an idea" and "here's a working app with user accounts" just collapsed into a single conversation.
