Google's latest AI push has revealed that more than 2.5 lakh Android apps have already been created using its free AI-powered tool inside Google AI Studio. The surprising part is that most of the people building them had never created an app before.
The tool appears to simplify one of the biggest challenges in software development—coding knowledge. Instead of writing complex lines of code manually, users can now rely on Gemini-powered prompts and AI assistance to create working Android apps.
The announcement came from Logan Kilpatrick, a member of technical staff working on Gemini at Google. In a post shared on X, he said that the company has just launched the ability to build native Android apps directly through AI Studio for free. According to him, users have already created over 250,000 Android apps within just a week of launch.
Kilpatrick also talked about the scale of the Android ecosystem while encouraging users to try the feature. “Android has over 3 billion active users, and now anyone can build an app for themselves or this 3 billion user audience,” he said, adding that such a possibility would have sounded unrealistic just five years ago.
With this launch, Google is clearly targeting a much wider audience here, including students, creators, small business owners, hobby developers and even people who simply want to build personal-use apps.
