When NOT to use Google AI Studio

There are a few situations when you should NOT use Google AI Studio

Do not use it to build complex apps

People have already mentioned that the code generated by Google AI Studio is not of very high quality (that is, it is not easy to maintain). So not only will you find it difficult to debug the code if things go wrong, you probably will not be able to hire anyone to fix it either.

Do not use it to learn programming

Google AI Studio produces NodeJS code. While NodeJS is a good language for web development, it is quite difficult as a language for learning the basics of programming (something like Python would be a lot better)

Do not use it for situations where an automation tool like Zapier already works well

Some no code tools like Zapier are quite expensive, and there is always a temptation to just write some code to do what they do (so you can save the expense).

There are quite a few problems with this assumption:

You cannot be sure your code will work as well. Your code could work in theory, but may not be as fast or reliable. After all, people won’t pay up if Zapier says “our code works 95% of the time” 🙂

The code you create is not “battle tested”. Zapier employees have probably already spent thousands of person hours fixing all the corner case errors.

Coding the app just using prompts might be simple, but you might face a lot of challenges when you try and deploy the code by prompting – and this is especially true for beginners
