Google has announced the cancellation of its standalone AI Studio mobile app before its official launch, despite nearly 800,000 users having pre-ordered the app on both Android and iOS platforms. Instead of launching a separate application, Google plans to integrate AI-powered app creation directly into its existing Gemini app. The company had first announced the dedicated AI Studio mobile app for Android and iOS in May. The app was supposed to let creators and developers build, iterate, test, and even publish AI-powered apps directly from their smartphones. The AI Studio mobile app was also supposed to come with features like app remixing and cross-device project syncing, which Google seems to be integrating into Gemini. Google has confirmed that its AI Studio web experience will continue to grow and evolve. The company envisions Gemini as a one-stop shop for all its AI experiences. Google has said its teams are "working hard on bringing this to life" and more details will be shared later. Users who pre-registered will not get the standalone version; instead, the core app-building experience will eventually be integrated into Gemini on mobile devices, although a specific timeline has not been provided.
