Take Google AI Studio output live on EU infrastructure
Between an AI Studio preview and a production site sits one decision: where the export runs. Route the Build mode GitHub export into VibeDeploy and that decision lands on European infrastructure, with each subsequent push from AI Studio rebuilding the live site.
Why VibeDeploy for Google AI Studio
Of Build mode's four exits (ZIP, GitHub, Cloud Run, Antigravity), only Cloud Run is actual hosting, and it ties publication to a Google Cloud project. Teams that want the serving path under EU jurisdiction need a fifth exit. VibeDeploy provides it: the export builds and serves from Belgian data centres run by a European operator, and the AI Studio side of your workflow doesn't change at all.
Push from AI Studio, publish in Europe
The built-in GitHub integration turns publishing into a git event: connect the exported repo once and VibeDeploy rebuilds on every push. Iteration continues in Build mode; production updates itself.
Jurisdiction settled at publish time
Serving happens from data centres inside the EU, operated by a European company, with a DPA on every paid plan. Picking the host settles GDPR posture and data-path questions before the first visitor arrives.
Static by design, upfront about limits
VibeDeploy runs the built frontend, not a Node process. Build mode projects that are pure UI at runtime ship unchanged; projects needing live Gemini calls are flagged in the docs before you deploy, not discovered broken afterwards.
The Google AI Studio to production workflow
- 1
Build your app in AI Studio's Build mode
Prompt Build mode until the preview does what you want. Under the hood it generates a standard React frontend, which is exactly the kind of project VibeDeploy serves.
- 2
Export: push to GitHub or download the ZIP
The GitHub export is the strongest route: AI Studio pushes the whole project to a repository through its built-in integration. Prefer a file? Download the app as a ZIP instead. Both give you a normal web project you fully own.

Start your VibeDeploy trial and connect the repo
Create an account at vibedeploy.eu (14-day free trial, no credit card). Choose New Site and connect the GitHub repo you just exported. VibeDeploy builds it and puts the result live; every future push from AI Studio redeploys automatically.

Going the ZIP route? Build locally, then upload
Unzip the export, then run the install and build commands from the project's README (typically npm install followed by the build script). Drag the resulting output folder into the VibeDeploy dashboard and it's live. A local coding agent with your VibeDeploy deploy guide pasted in can also handle this whole step for you.

Check one thing: does your app call Gemini at runtime?
AI Studio apps talk to the Gemini API from server-side code, and AI Studio never exports your secrets. A pure frontend app (no Gemini calls once it's running) deploys to VibeDeploy as-is. An app that needs Gemini while visitors use it needs a server somewhere; see the FAQ below for your options.

Add your custom domain
In site settings, add your domain and point a CNAME at VibeDeploy. SSL provisions automatically, usually within a minute. Until then your site is already live at name.vibedeploy.eu.

Common questions about deploying Google AI Studio
My AI Studio app calls the Gemini API. Will it work on VibeDeploy?expand_more
Honest answer: it depends. In AI Studio, Gemini calls run from server-side code, and because AI Studio never exports secrets, after export you'd set GEMINI_API_KEY in your own environment. VibeDeploy hosts static sites and does not run that server code. So if your app only uses Gemini during generation and is a plain frontend at runtime, deploy it as-is. If it needs live Gemini calls while visitors use it, either remove those calls for the hosted version or host that app on a platform that runs servers. Many Build mode projects are pure UI and deploy without any changes.
What exactly is in the ZIP export?expand_more
A standard React web project. Google's docs don't pin down the exact toolchain, so don't assume: open the README and run the install and build commands it lists. The build produces an output folder of static files, and that folder is what you upload to VibeDeploy.
Do I need a Google Cloud project or Cloud Run?expand_more
No. Cloud Run is AI Studio's built-in deploy target, but it's optional. If your goal is a website on your own domain, exporting to GitHub or ZIP and hosting on VibeDeploy gets you there without touching a cloud console.
Can AI Studio deploy to VibeDeploy directly, like Cursor does over MCP?expand_more
No. AI Studio has no MCP client, so there's no in-tool deploy connection. Your three routes are: the GitHub export with build-on-push (recommended), building the ZIP locally and uploading through the dashboard, or handing the exported project to a local coding agent such as Claude Code or Cursor together with your VibeDeploy deploy guide and letting it deploy through the API.
I'm coming from Firebase Studio. Does this still apply?expand_more
Yes. Google points Firebase Studio users toward AI Studio as it winds Firebase Studio down, so the same workflow applies: rebuild or continue your project in Build mode, export to GitHub or ZIP, and host the result on VibeDeploy.
What about the Android apps AI Studio can build?expand_more
Those are native Kotlin apps and go to an app store, not a web host. VibeDeploy is for the web apps Build mode produces: React frontends that compile to static files.
