Google Cancels AI Studio Mobile App Despite 800,000 Preorders, Folding Tools Into Gemini

Summary
Google scrapped its standalone AI Studio app for Android and iPhone before launch, even after nearly 800,000 pre-orders across iOS and Android.
Instead of adding another Google app, the company said it will move many AI Studio creation tools into Gemini so building prompts and apps becomes part of everyday mobile and desktop conversations.
The shift extends Google's broader push to turn Gemini beyond a chatbot into an assistant that can research, write code, generate images and handle more complex tasks.
The web version of AI Studio will remain a priority for users building prompts, prototypes or businesses, while Google gave no timeline for when Gemini-based mobile features will roll out.
