Google AI Studio is rolling out an ‘import from GitHub’ feature inside its Build mode. It takes a repo and transforms it into a runtime-compatible format. You can then keep iterating on it, deploy it, and more. The update was shared by the Google AI Studio account and by Logan Kilpatrick, who leads the product.

Today we are rolling out “import from GitHub” in @GoogleAIStudio Build!! We will automagically take the repo and transform it into a format that is compatible with our runtime and then let you keep iterating on it in AI Studio, deploy it, and more. pic.twitter.com/F63MjsJQjf— Logan Kilpatrick (@OfficialLoganK) July 8, 2026
‘Import from GitHub’
Build mode is Google AI Studio’s ‘vibe coding’ surface. You describe an app in a prompt. Gemini generates a full-stack app with a live preview. You then refine it through chat or annotation mode.
The new feature adds a starting point. Instead of a blank prompt, you point Build at a GitHub repository. AI Studio then transforms the repo into a format compatible with its runtime.
The flow has three parts:
Import the repo
Keep iterating on it in AI Studio.
Deploy it.
How the Import Flow Works
Google has not published the internal steps. In plain terms, the importer reads the repo, fits it to the runtime, then opens it in Build. The interactive walkthrough embedded below is a concept simulation, not the real backend.
