Develop with AI assistance

This page describes how you can use AI assistance to accelerate, streamline, and improve developing and managing an app with Firebase.

• Firebase Studio: Rapidly prototype, build, and ship full-stack AI-infused apps quickly and efficiently, right from your browser.

• Gemini in Firebase: Streamline your development process with an AI-powered collaborative assistant available in Firebase interfaces and tools.

• Prompts: Add Firebase-specific instructions and best practices directly into AI-powered chats and IDEs.

• Firebase MCP server: Install our MCP server to access and use Firebase-specific agentive tools and prompts in your favorite AI-powered development tools.

• Gemini CLI extension: Install our extension so the Gemini CLI can access and use Firebase-specific agentive tools and prompts.

Important: Keep the following in mind when using generative AI with your app:

• Generative AI can make mistakes. Always check its changes or output before deploying to production.
• Frequently commit snapshots of your code, especially before making major changes to your app.
