Google AI Studio is rolling out an ‘import from GitHub’ feature inside its Build mode, as shared by the Google AI Studio account and by Logan Kilpatrick, who leads the product, on July 8, 2026. The feature takes a repo and transforms it into a runtime-compatible format, allowing users to keep iterating on it, deploy it, and more. Build mode is Google AI Studio’s ‘vibe coding’ surface where users describe an app in a prompt, Gemini generates a full-stack app with a live preview, and users refine it through chat or annotation mode. The new feature adds a starting point by letting users point Build at a GitHub repository instead of a blank prompt. The flow has three parts: Import the repo, keep iterating on it in AI Studio, and deploy it. For apps that use the Gemini API, AI Studio configures the GEMINI_API_KEY as a server-side secret, and keys are never included in client-side code.
