I think I'm close. So Google in recent days, they brought out an integrated AI studio, a build functionality, which is basically what they're doing as a vibe coding tool. Before, Google had Firebase Studio, which didn't really work that well. Well, this tool, AI Studio, whatever they've done, it's very well integrated with everything Google does. So I can define an app idea, use Gemini, and then connect to basically everything in my Google workspace, like my email, drive, contacts, whatever. And unlike Firebase, which frequently created things that didn't work, it mostly does work. So it's very exciting.<br><br>The only catch as I see it is that AI Studio is kind of a prototyping environment or that's what it's always been looked upon as and I think they're trying to change that a bit. When you create your vibe coded apps you validate that they work you can converse with Gemini and it edit the code base which is great. So you can quickly pretty quickly within 5 or 10 minutes get to a point where you like Oh brilliant, this is exactly what I was hoping to achieve.<br><br>And the issue, as I see it, is a problem of plenty. This is a real breakthrough in the sense that it's become easier than ever to create these, I would call them mini-apps. You can connect to Github and you can deploy each mini-app. Great, so now I have functioning code for 10 or 20 apps. The question is, how do I make this usable?<br><br>This is really something I've been thinking about for a long time, or for a while, because the same thing could be said for Streamlit, Gradio, all these things where you can create. So the term micro is kind of coming out there micro and I not sure about that but all I really want is a unified place because no one wants to remember 50 URLs like movieapp so even if you have a domain name which I do so really all it needs is glue. The environment variables for Gemini, etc. are going to be shared across apps. I don't know if they need unique environments.<br><br>This is a broader question really in that I've been wondering for a while. These utilities are great, some of them are really really excellent but I still haven't really found anything like a framework that creates them into what it basically it's a workspace. That's the term I would gravitate towards where you have sort of maybe a menu with your tools. In this case, let's say a meeting agenda. I'm talking about my work tools. One of them creates a meeting agenda from a voice note. Another one creates a meeting minutes from a voice note. So you can see that it doesn't really make much sense for each of these to be a website or even an app. They all modular pieces of a bigger picture which is using AI for personal and business.<br><br>That the only distinction I see is worth preserving. Some are very much work tools and some are very much personal tools like the movie recommendation thing. Otherwise, I think they should be brought together. What do you think is out there in terms of what would be your suggestions for approaches? and specifically frameworks because I've looked at sort of low-code tools like AppSmith and I really hate them, they suck. I think that's a common thought. This is just creating your own.<br><br>And to clarify as well in case it wasn't clear, I'm not talking about public-facing apps, I'm talking about internal tools basically. So authentication required, but maybe at the level of the entry, ideally I would see it. If this worked, as I think about it, you wouldn't want to be signing into Google 50 times from within the workspace. So you'd want the workspace to have authenticate once with Google, and then you're authenticated with all your tools and you can use freely. I don't think Google have made this yet. It'd be great if they did. But I'm wondering in the medium term, as they're warming up their product, what else is out there?
