The Neuron: AI Explained
Google AI Studio Deep Dive: From Vibe Coding to AGI with Logan Kilpatrick
29 Aug 2025
Today we go deeper on Google's AI stack with Logan Kilpatrick: what AI Studio is great at, how it fits with Firebase/Colab/Gemini CLI/Jules, and where "thinking" models make sense. We cover real-world workflows—from game prototyping and screen-share assistance to legal/privacy basics and on-device micro-apps. Logan shares his insights on vibe coding, the future of AI development, and Google's open-source strategy with Gemma models.Resources mentioned:Google AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/Gemini CLI: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cliKaggle Game Arena: https://www.kaggle.com/competitionsGoogle Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/Gemma models: https://ai.google.dev/gemmaSubscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.ai
Full Episode
So we built three apps in AI Studio on the show a couple weeks ago, but it feels like we've only unlocked maybe 10% of what this thing could do. So today, we're going to be joined by Logan Kilpatrick from Google DeepMind to explain the rest. Welcome humans to the latest episode of the Neuron AI Explained. I'm Corey Knowles, joined as always by Grant Harvey. How's it going today, Grant?
Doing good, doing good. How are you, Corey?
I'm doing good, doing good. Really excited about this call. How about you?
Oh yeah, I cannot wait. I'm a big fan of Lovin, so getting to talk to him and pick his brain about everything AI Studio is going to be a serious blast.
It is, and I think there are so many things we could really dive into because Google's got, you know, one of the interesting things about Google right now is they have a million things going on. Oh, yeah. It's like they're constantly shipping something. It may not be a thing we're ever going to touch.
It might be specific to researchers in biomedical fields or something, but there's pretty consistently something always coming out of their AI labs.
Yeah, I mean, Google has so much stuff, let alone the Gemini app, AI Studio. They've got Notebook LM. They've got their Google Labs, where they're creating all this experimental stuff. They've got their Gemini command line tool. They've got Firebase Studio. They've got Jules, which is a new background coding agent. They've got Colab. I mean, there's a lot going on. There's a lot going on.
So yeah, AI Studio is definitely just like the tip of the iceberg, but it's one of the coolest holistic interfaces that Google has. And I think that's why a lot of people are drawn to it and they really like using it.
I agree. I think if you're a person who likes to play with what's next, Google AI Studio is like their little free lab where you can go do that. And it's absolutely worth your time to check it out and just try some things and what's on their changes from time to time.
