"Delivers on the promise of using Google AI Studio for online income, but the 'super upgrade' is just a standard feature update and the monetization advice is generic."

AI Summary

The video demonstrates how to use Google AI Studio's updated features to create functional web applications without coding, focusing on practical steps for generating validated app ideas and monetizing them online. The host, Rob, walks through using the playground with Google Search grounding and the Gemini 3.1 Pro model to research profitable app concepts, then shows how to build and publish an app using the Build tab, including adding a database and authentication. The tutorial emphasizes practical application over theory, with a clear call to action for viewers to start building their own tools.

[00:02]
Introduction to Google AI Studio Update

Google AI Studio has been updated to allow creation of full-stack applications, including database and authentication, without programming knowledge. This opens opportunities for non-coders to build and monetize apps.

[01:53]
Additional Tool: State

Google also updated 'State', a tool for creating visual interfaces for apps, websites, and landing pages. The host mentions this but focuses on practical aspects of AI Studio.

[02:07]
Accessing Google AI Studio

To access, simply type 'Google AI Studio' into Google and log in with a Gmail account. The tool is free to use, and the host recommends using the 'Build' tab for creating applications.

[03:26]
Using Playground for Research

The host demonstrates using the playground with 'grounding with Google search' to get up-to-date information. This allows the AI to use internet data rather than just its training knowledge.

[04:34]
Selecting Gemini 3.1 Pro

The most advanced model, Gemini 3.1 Pro preview, is selected for research. Users have a free limit, but creating an API key provides $0 in credits (likely a typo, but as stated) and ensures searches don't stop.

[05:30]
Prompt for App Ideas

The host provides a prompt asking for 20 existing online applications that can be replicated using Google technologies, with high search volume, including links, descriptions, replication methods, and monetization strategies.

[06:53]
Refining Ideas with Context

The AI can be given more context (e.g., niche, audience) to refine suggestions. The host demonstrates asking for tools for content creators on Instagram and YouTube, getting ideas like 'Roast my thumbnail' and 'Faceless script generator'.

[09:55]
Using Vib Studio for Blueprint

The host uses a tool called 'Vib Studio' to create a blueprint for an app. He selects 'SAS app', specifies the app's purpose (e.g., viral script generator), and generates an optimized prompt.

[10:49]
Building the App in AI Studio

The optimized prompt is pasted into the Build tab, with options to add a database and authentication. The host selects Gemini 3.1 preview and uses Google Search Data, then clicks build.

[11:40]
Database and Authentication Setup

The app asks to register with Firebase for storing user information. The host selects a database region (e.g., Europe or Brazil) and continues the build process.

[13:30]
Publishing and Monetization

After building, the app can be published. The host explains monetization options: placing ads (AdSense), charging for extra features, or promoting products. He also mentions integrating with Stripe for payments.

[15:45]
Publishing with API Key and Spend Cap

To publish, select 'get started' and choose an API key. Users can set a spend cap (e.g., R$30) to control costs. The host demonstrates generating viral hooks for a video about making money online with AI.

[17:31]
Final Advice and Resources

The host encourages asking the AI questions for guidance, emphasizing that AI knows more than most people. He suggests using the chat for troubleshooting and mentions a Canva Pro free trial link.

[05:44] create your own prompt. But let's start like this, look , it's March 2025. I need you to bring me a list of 20 existing online applications that can be easily replicated

[05:59] using Google technologies and that have a high volume of searches and access on Google and YouTube. For each of the tools, you will provide me with the link, what it does, how to replicate it, and how to monetize it. So, if you want to be more

[06:13] your focus is, whether you create content, what you do, if you already have an audience, and so on. And now we're going to ask it to run, and it will start it will activate the thinking model, which is the most intelligent model. Here you

[07:35] QR codes. How to replicate, it's telling you how you can replicate, how to monetize. Look, free traffic, meaning the person can put an AdSense banner there to earn money from it, or charge a subscription, or even

[07:48] advertise something else there. Image background remover, which is also something that people search for a lot. see? Text and article summarizer powered by artificial intelligence, and several other

[08:02] tools are available here. Then you'll see which one best suits your audience. If you think none of these tools here meet your audience's needs, what are research. So you can come here and say: "Look, to give a little more

[08:15] context, we're not in 2025, we're in 2026. And Google has already launched several new artificial intelligence models , such as Gemini 3.1 Lite, among many others. I noticed you mentioned Gemini 1.5

[08:32] Pro. That one is no longer used. Considering that I work in content creation and I create content for people who want to monetize or grow on social media, such as Instagram and YouTube. What

[08:45] tools would you recommend I create that can be easily replicated? If one doesn't exist, give me some ideas. Okay, look, I've already given more context here. It will take into account the context I gave. Look,

[08:58] you're right. We're in 2026. See? It already brought up the, look more information here. For those who don't like to read, you have to read. Look. Roast my thumbnail. Cover review From YouTube. That's really cool. That's

[09:39] I going to do here? OK, I like the first idea. What do I need to create an app like this? I'll put the idea here and let him you going to do? You're going to access the free tool below,

[09:55] a tool called Vib Studio. And inside this tool you're going to click on SAS app, OK? And here, look how interesting, here you'll find an app to generate viral scripts. Next, who is it for? For

[10:08] will this app solve? Here You're going to go back there and get the You can take everything, no problem at all information, go back here inside the application, paste this information here,

[10:22] click next. And now what does the user send? The user will send will they receive in return? They will also receive text. And here you styles here. I put the visual style and the one similar to Instagram,

[10:37] that is, the visual interface similar to Instagram. So I'm going to generate a blueprint here. And now I have an optimized prompt here. What am I going to do? I'm going to copy this prompt. I'm going to go back inside Google A Studio. And

[10:49] now yes, I'm going to click here, look, on build, which is to build. And here inside build, I'm going to leave the top version selected here too. Look, here I can select here, 3.1 preview, OK? And here I'm going to

[11:02] 3.1 preview, OK? And here I'm going to put, I'm going to give a raw prompt and I'm also going to put here, look, add database is Authentication, that is, it will automatically add the

[11:14] database and authentication. You'll see how it works here. And I'm also going to ask it to add, I'll move to the side, look, use Google Search Data, which is Google search data. There, it's here, it has all the

[11:26] information. Now I'm going to ask it to build, and it will start creating take a little longer here because we're adding the database and ask you to register with Firebase. It's very simple,

[11:40] to register, okay? Look, it's time to register. Look, to store the application and user information. used will be there. And if you have any questions, you can

[11:53] come here and ask in the chat itself, okay? That's the idea, to talk to the chat and ask questions. Here I clicked on database. It retrieved the database closest to where I am. I'm in

[12:06] European database from here. If you're in Brazil, selecting Brazil or the will be, right? And here it continued creating. Look how simple it is. And here is where you'll type and ask your questions. Here at the

[12:20] chatting, you have some options here, see? Look, you have the option can see all the code of your application. If you want to start a prototype here and take it to another place, use a cloud, use another

[12:34] tool, you can download all the files here and take them there. You can also come here. What I highly recommend is that when you click on publish here, you'll have some options here, okay? So you have

[12:47] share with someone. You have the option to select which tool case, I leave the most common tool. Advanced because I want a these other tools here if you want, okay? And you also have the

[13:03] option to see the versions, the latest modifications, the secrets, which would be your API key—the keys Google 're integrating with, okay? And then you can upload this to GitHub,

[13:17] which I highly recommend, where your code is located, the repository where take it to another place, have contributors, and other things. We I can make other videos about that later, but the most important thing is that

[13:30] now, after this, we'll already have a functional application, okay? And you can even chat here and follow the step-by-step instructions and ask how to integrate, for example, with Stripe, with EDUS, with

[13:43] to you, and you'll follow the step-by- step instructions. It's very simple and... You'll be able to is ready, you can publish it and have a link to be your final link yet, it won't be your domain. You

[13:59] acquire a domain from a tool, like Goldad or another tool. You can acquire the domain or you can even host this Google has already created this tool to do everything within Google

[14:13] itself, everything will be ready here in a very simple way. There you go, it created it for me. Look how cool, we already have our application here, the can come here. How would you monetize this? You could

[14:27] authorize the person to use your website, the tool, and then you can place ads, right? You can place an ad for your someone else's product, let Google place the ads here, or even charge

[14:40] extra features for people to Okay, so I'm logging in with Google to generate it. I'm going to click here. I just logged in. It even shows my email up there. And then I'm going to put in

[14:53] the following: what's your video about? So I want to create a video about ways to make money online with artificial intelligence in 2026.

[15:05] click here. And it's already generated the viral hooks. Look how cool. Stop ignoring artificial intelligence if you want to make big profits in 2026. Three artificial intelligence that nobody

[15:19] tells you. Traditional jobs are dead and it's all the fault of artificial intelligence. How would I make $5,000 a month? Look. And then you can copy this to be your introductory call to action, for the person who will use it. And then the volume

[15:32] you can bring to this site , you can monetize this site, you can add extra functionalities, extra functionalities here and keep doing it. you can create several other tools like this. And after the

[15:45] tool is created, you can publish it. To publish this select "get started" here, and select the API key you 'll be using. What's great is that there's even an option to

[15:59] select how much you want to spend. So, for example, , like the 3.1 Lite I used here, which is a very cheap tool, you cents per million. That means a phrase like this would have to be

[16:13] cents or something like that. So, you would earn money from advertising if you create something that goes viral. In this case, you'll set a spend cap, which is for determining the amount you want to spend, that you can't spend

[16:26] here and set, for example, that I want to spend a maximum of... R$30. I'll click save. When it gets to that point, it will notify me. I'll receive a notification. And now I'm going to publish this app. And here inside, look

[16:39] look, I want to generate my checkout link. How do I do that? How do have credit? It will teach you how to make a web hook. Man, there are so many app has been published. It will ask me here to open it. I'll

[16:53] open it. So, let's say I talk about weight loss, how to lose weight in a about weight loss, how to lose weight in a healthy and fit way in 2026. So, ask to generate it and it will generate it here. Now imagine if you have a

[17:05] website like this that offers something to someone, right, which is the starting point. And then you going to offer other things. Look how cool. Stop doing cardio before seeing

[17:17] what has changed in 2026. The healthy mistake that 's blocking your fat burning. the way down here, want to learn how to monetize these videos? Learn the method to gain followers and clients. And then you would put your product link here

[17:31] , or whatever you're promoting. So that's really cool. That's one way to do it. And then you can come back here to Google information. What I always tell people here is exactly the best place

[17:45] to ask your questions, okay? Artificial intelligence today knows more than the vast majority of people out there. The PhDs are behind. So "How do I add my checkout?" This is my audience. The

[17:59] more context you give artificial intelligence, the better your results will be ask, don't be afraid to research, okay? And if you want to know more about this kind of topic, follow the channel here, subscribe, and
