At I/O 2026, Google teased an AI Studio app for Android and iOS. This mobile application has been canceled in favor of what sounds like a deep Gemini app integration.
The AI Studio app was supposed to let you “capture an idea on the go and have a working prototype ready by the time you get to your desk.” It was an alternative to using aistudio.google.com in your mobile browser.
The AI Studio team today shared that over 800,000 users pre-ordered the app on Google Play and the App Store in a sign that “people are interested in building software on the go.”
However, Google is no longer releasing this app: “instead of asking you to download yet another app we’ve decided to take an entirely different approach: one where apps emerge naturally, in the course of your everyday conversations with Gemini.”
we’re partnering with the Gemini app team to make that a reality on mobile and desktop
