Today I'm showing you a tool that just
knocked every other coding platform off
the map. Google dropped something
massive and almost nobody's talking
about it yet. You can build apps in
minutes without touching a single line
of code. This is brand new territory and
the timing couldn't be better. And the
best part, it's completely free to
start. Hey there. So, if you haven't
already noticed, I'm Nick Ponty's AI
avatar. While the real Nick is busy
helping businesses with Mina Marketing,
Hawaii's fastest growing marketing
agency, I'm here dropping the latest AI
hacks, tools, and money-making
strategies. The real Nick reads every
single comment on these videos. So, make
sure you comment below. And listen, if
you're serious about landing some AI
subscription-based customers, grab my

let's get into it. Let me tell you what
just happened in the AI world. Google
released something called AI Studio, and
it's changing everything about how we
build apps. I'm talking about going from
zero to a working application in under
an hour. No joke. Here's the thing most
people don't get yet. While everyone's
obsessed with chat GPT and Claude,
Google just created a platform that lets
you prototype, code, and deploy AI apps
faster than anything else out there. And
they did it so quietly that most
developers are still sleeping on it. I
used to spend my days covered in Greece
working as a mechanic full-time. That
was my life. Then I found tools like
this one. Tools that let regular people
build and sell AI services without
needing a computer science degree. Now I
make money online full-time. And Google
AI Studio is exactly the type of tool
that can help you do the same thing. So,
what makes this different from
everything else? Let me break it down.
Google AI Studio isn't just another
coding playground. It's a full
production environment that connects you
directly to Google's most powerful AI
models. We're talking Gemini 2.5 Pro,
their video generation model, VO3.1,
image tools, text to speech, everything
in one place. Most developers are
wasting hours switching between
different platforms. One tool for text,
another for images, another for video.
Google said, "Forget all that noise."
They built one unified workspace where
you can access everything at once.
Here's what blew my mind. They have this
feature called Vibe Coding. You
literally just describe what you want to
build in plain English and it creates
the entire app for you. No coding
required to start. Then if you want to
get technical, you can export the code
and customize it. Think about that for a
second. You could tell it, "Build me a
chatbot that helps local restaurants
take reservations and it'll set up the
whole thing. The models, the APIs, the
structure, everything." That's insane.
Now, here's where people are getting
this wrong. They're using AI Studio just
to play around and test prompts. That's
cool, but you're missing the bigger
picture. The real opportunity is using
this to build actual services you can
sell to local businesses. Let me give
you an example. A pizza shop needs a
better way to handle online orders. You
could use AI Studio to build them a
custom ordering assistant that works
through their website, takes orders,
upsells them on extras, handles
questions about ingredients. You charge
them 500 bucks to set it up, then 150 a
month to maintain it. That's one client.
Now, imagine having 10 of those. That's
$1,500 a month in recurring revenue. And
you built each one in a few hours using
tools that Google is basically handing
you for free.
The crazy part is how fast you can move
with this. traditional coding, you'd
spend weeks learning frameworks, setting
up servers, dealing with API
authentication, all that technical stuff
that makes most people give up before
they even start. AI Studio handles all
of it. They manage the infrastructure.
They keep the models updated. They deal
with the scaling. You just focus on
building the actual application. And get
this, when you're done prototyping, you
can deploy to Google Cloud Run with
literally one click. One click and your
app is live on the internet. That used
to take days of setup and configuration.
I've been testing this for a few weeks
now, and the speed difference is wild.
something that would have taken me two
weeks to build the old way, I'm doing in
an afternoon. That's not an
exaggeration. That's actual experience.
Now, let me show you the money angle
because that's what matters. There are
three main ways people are making money
with tools like this right now. First is
the service model I mentioned. You build
custom AI solutions for local
businesses, gyms, restaurants, law
offices, real estate agents. They all
need this stuff, but they don't know how
to do it themselves. You become their AI
person. Second is building and selling
templates. You create a really good
chatbot template for dentists. Then you
sell that same template to 50 dentists
for 200 bucks each. That's $10,000 from
building something once. Third is
offering ongoing management. You set up
AI tools for businesses and then charge
them monthly to monitor, update, and
optimize everything. This is recurring
income that stacks up fast. If you're

right, so
let's talk about what makes Google AI
Studio better than the competition
because there are other tools out there.
Why should you care about this one
specifically? Speed is the first reason.
From idea to working prototype in
minutes instead of weeks. That's not
marketing talk. That's the actual
difference. You can test 10 ideas in the
time it used to take to build just one.
The second reason is access to cutting
edge models. Google's Gemini models are
some of the most powerful AI systems
available right now and you get direct
access to them without jumping through
hoops or waiting for API approvals.
Third is the multimodal capabilities.
You can work with text, images, audio,
and video all in the same project. Most
other platforms make you choose one or
patch together different services. This
is all integrated from the start. Here's
something most people don't realize. the
barrier to entry for AI development just
dropped to almost zero. You don't need
to be a programmer anymore. You don't
need a fancy computer. You just need
ideas and the willingness to learn how
to use these tools. When I was turning
wrenches for a living, I never thought
I'd be building software. But tools like
AI Studio make it possible for anyone to
create real applications that solve real
problems. And when you solve problems
for businesses, they pay you money. It's
that simple.
Now, let me get into some specific
features that matter for making money.
The prompt engineering playground is
huge. You can test different prompts,
see what works, and then export that as
production ready code. This means you
can dial in exactly what you want before
you ever show it to a client. The
version control is another game changer.
You can try different approaches,
compare them side by side, and roll back
if something doesn't work. That's
professional level development tools
available to beginners. And they've got
project-based key management. This is
important for agencies. You can manage
multiple clients, keep their projects
separate, track everything
independently. It's built for people who
are doing this as a business, not just
hobbyists. The cost structure is perfect
for getting started, too. Prototyping is
free. You only pay when you deploy
something and start getting real usage.
So, you can test 20 different business
ideas without spending a dime. Then,
when you find one that works, you scale
it up. Compare that to traditional
development where you're paying for
servers, databases, and services before
you even know if your idea is good. AI
Studio flips that whole model on its
head. Let me give you a real world
scenario. Say you want to target real
estate agents. You could build an AI
assistant that writes property
descriptions from photos. The agent
uploads pictures of a house and your
tool generates compelling listing copy
in seconds. You could have that working
today, right now, this afternoon. Then
you reach out to 10 real estate agents
in your area and offer it to them for
$75 a month. If five of them say yes,
that's $375 in monthly recurring revenue
from one tool you built in a few hours.
And here's the kicker. Once it's built,
it runs automatically. You're not
trading time for money anymore. You're
building assets that generate income
while you sleep.
The learning curve on this is way
shorter than you think. Google built
showcase examples right into the
platform. You can see working apps, look
at how they're structured, and use them
as templates for your own projects.
They've also got community guides and
documentation that actually makes sense,
not that technical jargon that goes over
everyone's head. Real explanations that
normal people can follow. I'm watching
people with zero coding experience build
functional apps in their first week. Not
perfect apps, not apps that are going to
win awards, but actual working
applications that do useful things.
That's all you need to start making
money with this. The mistake I see
people making is waiting until they're
experts before they try to sell
anything. Don't do that. You don't need
to be an expert. You just need to be a
few steps ahead of the people you're
helping. A restaurant owner doesn't know
anything about AI. If you know how to
use AI Studio to build them a simple
reservation system, you're the expert in
that situation. They'll pay you for that
knowledge. Another thing people get
wrong is thinking bigger is better. They
want to build some massive complex
application right out of the gate.
That's backwards. Start small. Build
simple tools that solve specific
problems. Then once you've got cash
coming in, you can get more ambitious.
The key is to start with something
manageable. Pick one type of business
and one specific problem they have.
Build a solution for that. Then
replicate it across multiple clients in
that same industry. Look, AI is moving
fast. The tools we have access to today
were impossible for regular people just
2 years ago. Google AI Studio is putting
professional development capabilities in
the hands of anyone willing to learn.
You can keep watching from the sidelines
or you can jump in and start building.
The businesses in your area need help
with this stuff. They don't have time to
figure it out. They don't have the
skills, but you can develop those skills
in days, not years. I went from being a
full-time mechanic to running a
marketing agency and teaching thousands
of people how to build AI businesses.
They're making it possible for people
every single day. If you want to go
deeper on this, I've got a free
four-part AI FastTrack training where I
show you exactly how to land high-paying
AI clients. I also give you access to a
free 30-day trial of the best AI
software I use to get clients and run my
business. The links in the description
