Google Updates Firebase with Gemini 2.5 and New AI Tools for App Development

Google has rolled out major updates to Firebase, introducing Gemini 2.5-powered features across Firebase Studio and Firebase AI Logic. The revamped Firebase Studio now supports direct imports from Figma, automatic backend provisioning, and even placeholder image swaps from Unsplash—accelerating app prototyping for full-stack teams. On the AI front, Firebase AI Logic brings Gemini Developer API access into client SDKs, enables hybrid inference via Gemini Nano in Chrome, and adds new SDKs for Unity and Android XR. These updates signal Google’s strategy to embed AI throughout the development lifecycle. From Gemini-powered schema onboarding in Data Connect to an early-access CLI using Firebase MCP Server, developers are gaining end-to-end AI support—from first design to deployment. The addition of real-time image generation, editing, and improved monitoring also gives Firebase a sharper edge against competitors. For dev teams building apps, games, or immersive experiences, Firebase is fast becoming the go-to AI-native platform.
