AI Summary

Google AI Studio now offers free custom URLs for apps, allowing users to deploy professional-looking web apps without coding or complex setup. This update, rolled out on July 10, 2026, replaces ugly random links with clean, memorable addresses under the ai.studio domain, making it easier for beginners to share their creations.

Problem with Ugly Links

Previously, published apps had random links like 'bunch of numbers.run.app', which looked unprofessional and untrustworthy.

[00:30]
Google AI Studio Overview

Google AI Studio is a free browser-based tool that lets users build apps using Gemini models via plain language prompts (vibe coding). It supports full apps, Android apps, Google Sheets/Drive integration, databases, logins, and web publishing.

[01:15]
Custom URLs Added

On July 10, 2026, Google added free custom URLs for apps. Users can now get a link like 'your-app-name.ai.studio' instead of a random string.

[01:45]
Starter Tier Details

The starter tier allows publishing up to two apps for free using a Google account, with no need for a Google Cloud project. Custom URLs are first-come, first-served.

[02:30]
First App: Email Verifier

Built an email verifier tool with a single prompt. It checks format, role/mailbox detection, disposable supplier blacklist, MX DNS records, and domain catch-all behavior. Deployed at 'emailverifier.ai.studio'.

[04:00]
Second App: Landing Page

Built a full landing page for an SEO audit offer, including headline, benefits, sign-up form, testimonials, FAQ, and CTA buttons. Deployed at 'aipdlandingpage.ai.studio'.

[05:00]
Pro Tip 1: Claim Name Early

Grab your desired custom URL immediately, even if the app isn't perfect, because names are first-come, first-served.

[05:15]
Pro Tip 2: Protect API Key

If your app uses a Gemini API key and is public, visitors could use your key. Set a monthly spending cap in Google AI Studio to prevent overuse.

[05:45]
Pro Tip 3: Start Small

Custom URLs are ideal for quick apps, prototypes, and demos, not large complex builds.

[06:00]
Pro Tip 4: Two Free Slots

The starter tier allows two apps per region. You can override old apps or upgrade later with zero downtime.

[06:15]
Pro Tip 5: Build Trust

A clean link like 'your-tool.ai.studio' looks professional and increases trust when shared with clients or online.

Google AI Studio's custom URLs make it easy for anyone to build and deploy professional-looking apps for free. With simple prompts, you can create functional tools and landing pages, and share them via clean, memorable links.

Google AI Studio just added free custom URLs. Deploy your app in minutes. What if you could build an app and give it a clean real web link in seconds? No coding, no setup, no random junk in your link. Everyone's building apps right now, but their links look like a mess. There's a new way to fix that and barely anyone is using it yet. Let me show you. Hey, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie. I help

people actually learn and use AI tools in their real work, not just watch demos and forget them. Today, I want to show you something Google just quietly rolled out that makes your AI Studio apps look 10 times more professional. Stick around because near the end, I'll show you exactly how I deployed two of my own apps with my own custom links and one of them shocked me with how detailed it got. So, let's start simple. What

even is Google AI Studio? Google AI Studio is a free tool in your browser. You sign in with a normal Google account and start building with Google's Gemini models right away. No install. You type what you want in plain words and it builds it for you. People call this vibe coding. You describe the app, the AI writes the code, you watch it come to life on screen. And over the last few months, Google has packed more

into it. You can build full apps and native Android apps. You can connect your Google Sheets and Drive. You can add a database and logins and you can publish your app straight to the web. Here's the part that used to be annoying though. When you built an app and hit publish, Google gave you an ugly random link. Something like bunch of numbers.run.app. Funny name, sure, but you can't send that to a client or put it in

your portfolio. It looks broken. People don't trust it. That's the problem Google just solved. On July 10th, 2026, Google AI Studio added free custom URLs for your apps. Now, when you publish, you can give your app a clean personalized link under the ai.studio domain. So, instead of that random mess, you get something like your dash-app-name.ai.studio. Simple and memorable and it's free. This works on what Google calls the starter tier, where you can publish up to two

apps for free using just your Google account. So, a total beginner can build an app and give it a real link today. Let me quickly explain how it fits together. Before this, deploying an app meant setting up a whole Google Cloud project. That scared a lot of beginners off. Now, with the starter tier, you skip all that. The custom URL option shows up right inside the publishing menu. You type the subdomain you want or use the

one Google suggests, and then you publish. Done. One thing to note, these names are first come, first served, and they have to be unique across all of AI Studio. So, the good, obvious names are getting grabbed fast. Some of the Google team members and creators already claimed theirs the moment it launched. If someone already took the name you want, you'll have to pick another. So, if there's a name you really want, don't wait around on it.

Now, let me show you what I actually did with this, because this is where it gets fun. The first thing I built was a simple email verifier. I just told AI Studio to create an email verifier tool with a section where you can customize your API keys, and it built it. So, I tested it by verifying an actual email address. Here's what surprised me. It didn't just say valid or not valid. It saved every recent email

I checked, and it gave me a full breakdown for each one. It showed me the format check, so whether the email was even written correctly, it showed me role and mailbox detection, so whether it was a personal direct inbox. It checked the address against a disposable supplier blacklist to see if the host was clean. It checked the active MX DNS records to confirm the mail servers were live, and it flagged the domain catch-all behavior, so I

knew if it was a standard mailbox. All of that from one simple prompt in one little app I built in minutes. Then came the best part. I deployed it. I hit publish and typed in my own custom name. I used email verifier.ai.studio, and a moment later it was live. My own tool, my own clean link, a real, shareable web address that looks like it belongs to a real product. Now, let me pause here, because I know

some of you are thinking this looks cool, but I don't fully get how to do it myself or what to build first. That's exactly why we made the AI Profit Boardroom. Inside the Boardroom, we've got step-by-step walkthroughs for tools just like Google AI Studio, so you're not guessing which button to press. We do live coaching calls where you can share your screen, show us the app you're building, and ask what's going wrong with your deploy or

your custom URL. We've got roadmaps that take you from your first prompt to your first published app, so you always know your next move. And we drop in the exact prompts we use, so you can build the same kinds of tools I just showed you without staring at a blank screen. So, if you want to build your own AI Studio app, but you want someone to guide you through it in real time, that's the room built

for this exact moment. You come in, you build alongside people doing the same thing, and you get unstuck fast instead of quitting after one confusing try. Okay, let me get back to the builds, because I did a second one, and it shows off a totally different use. For the second app, I wanted to see if AI Studio could handle a proper landing page, not just a little tool. So, I asked it to create an AI Profit

Boardroom landing page for a free SEO audit offer with a strong headline, a benefit section, a form where people could sign up, a testimonials area, an FAQ, and clear call to action buttons. And it laid the whole thing out for me. Headline up top, the benefits listed out, a form ready to collect sign-ups, space for testimonials, a full FAQ, and the call to action buttons in the right spots. A complete landing page structure from one prompt.

Then I deployed that one, too. I published it and gave it the custom link aipdlandingpage.ai.studio. And just like the first one, it went live with my own clean web address. Two apps, two custom links, both in one sitting. Now, let me give you some pro tips for beginners, so you don't trip over the same little things everyone does. First tip, grab your name early. If you've got a name in mind, publish and claim it now, even

if the app isn't perfect yet. You can improve the app later. You can't get the name back once someone else takes it. Second tip, watch your API key. This is the big one. If your app uses a Gemini API key and you publish it as a public page, your visitors could end up using your key when they use your app. So, be careful with any app that calls the API in the background. If your app really

needs it, go set a spending cap so you're protected. Google added a monthly limit setting that checks about every 10 minutes and stops the API if you hit your cap. It's a real stop, not just an alert. Turn it on. That's your safety net. Third tip, start small and simple. This feature is amazing for quick apps and prototypes. A little tool, a landing page, a demo for a client. It's not really made for huge complex builds.

So, pick something small, get it live, and build up from there. Fourth tip, remember you get two free slots. The starter tier lets you publish two apps in a single region. So, choose your two wisely or override an old one when you want to swap. And if you outgrow it, you can always upgrade later with zero downtime. Your apps keep running and your links stay the same. So, nothing breaks when you scale up. Fifth tip, use

the name to build trust. A clean link like your tool.ai.studio just looks more real when you send it to a client or post it online, people take it seriously. Don't skip it. So, that's the whole thing. Google AI Studio now lets you build an app from a simple prompt and give it a clean free custom link that looks professional. I built an email verifier and a landing page and deployed both with my own names. You can

do the same today. If you want the full process, SOPs, and 100 plus AI use cases like this one, join the AI Success Lab. Links in the comments and description. You'll get all the video notes from there, plus access to our community of 75,000 members who are crushing it with AI. And here's my last thought for you. You're about to go try this. You'll build your first app, you'll go to publish, and that's usually where the

little questions pop up. Which name do I pick? Why is my key showing? How do I stop it from using my usage? That's the exact moment the AI Profit Boardroom saves you. We've got the coaching calls where you can ask those questions live, the tutorials that walk you through each published step, the road maps that keep you moving, and the prompts that get you building faster. So, instead of getting stuck and closing the tab, you get

through it and get your app live. Come join us and build it with us at AIProfitBoardroom.com.
