Summary
Google AI Studio enabled the author to build three Android apps in one afternoon by typing prompts—148 words produced a working app in 10 minutes, with Gemini automatically generating features, design mockups, and code. However, the resulting apps were buggy and shallow, and a daily usage limit pushed a paywall after initial free iterations, revealing the gap between rapid prototyping and polished production software.
