From prompt to app: Build with Google Maps in AI Studio

Google AI Studio now lets developers build apps powered by Google Maps Platform directly from a prompt, with AI Studio handling configuration and API key management, Google announced. The integration gives instant access to core Google Maps Platform APIs for geospatial context, with free use up to daily quota limits that reset every 24 hours and no credit card required; a paid Cloud billing account is required for production. Google also published three working examples in the AI Studio gallery — a City Immersive Tour with 3D flyovers, a Pet Grooming Route Optimizer built on the Routes API, and a Store Locator & Near Me Finder using vector maps and the Places API.
