I mentioned in my $2k/month Facebook  Page follow along update this week  that I am testing out Google  AI Studio for building projects with  AI. I've spent a good amount  of time now testing it out  so I thought you guys/gals might  appreciate my thoughts:
	
	
		
			
				
					
						 
					
				
			
			
		
	
1. Free is awesome. Claude Code and Lovable (the two other AI I have used so far) are great but can be expensive. The fact that Google is letting us use AI Studio for free is really cool. You can use it for a few hours before you hit any sort of usage timeout as well. Once you hit the free usage timeout, you can add your API key and continue to use it at a low cost.
2. AI Studio is slower than Claude (and Lovable). I like the interface Google has made for AI Studio but it seems that it's a bit slower than using Claude or Lovable. I am not sure why. It's likely something they'll improve on.
3. The results from AI Studio were very good. The little things I have been working on have been correct.
4. Google AI Studio has no backend
