Google AI Studio Adds ‘Import from GitHub’ to Build Mode, Turning an Existing Repo Into an Editable, Deployable App
Google AI Studio is rolling out an ‘import from GitHub’ feature inside its Build mode. It takes a repo and transforms it into a runtime-compatible format. You can then keep iterating on it, deploy it, and more. The update was shared by the Google AI Studio account and by Logan Kilpatrick, who leads the product. bringing your code from @github into ai studio build is as easy as clicking 'import from github' pic.twitter.com/lIyZ1lnpQQ— Google AI Studio (@GoogleAIStud
Get smart on it
Google AI Studio's Build mode now includes an "import from GitHub" feature that allows users to take an existing code repository and transform it into a format compatible with AI Studio's runtime, where it can then be edited and deployed. Build mode is Google's "vibe coding" surface where users describe an app in a prompt and Gemini generates a full-stack application with live preview that can be refined through chat or annotation. The import feature adds an inbound workflow that was previously missing, complementing existing options like exporting to GitHub or downloading as a ZIP file. When importing apps that use the Gemini API, AI Studio handles API keys as server-side secrets rather than exposing them in client-side code.

The company is challenging users to evaluate ChatGPT Work by "giv[ing] it a task you already know well," such as
