Google AI Studio is for the web.
RapidNative also ships to iOS.
Google AI Studio is the fastest way to prototype something with Gemini on the web. RapidNative is the fastest way to turn a prompt into a real iOS and Android app — previewed on your actual phone and shippable to the App Store.
Google AI Studio Is For:
- "Build a weather dashboard powered by Gemini"
- Get an HTML/React web app instantly
- Preview and share in the browser
RapidNative Is For:
- "Build a weather app with location, alerts and a home widget"
- Get React Native + Expo code instantly
- Preview on your iPhone and ship to the App Store

If you like AI Studio's prompt-to-app flow, you'll feel right at home — just for iOS and Android.
Google AI Studio is great for the web.
But mobile is a different world.
Google AI Studio outputs HTML and React designed for browsers. That is perfect for web prototypes, Gemini demos and shareable links.
But if you need a real mobile app:
- Web output can't compile into native iOS or Android binaries
- Wrapping the web page in a WebView creates "webby" experiences
- Apple frequently rejects wrapped websites (Guideline 4.2)
- You lose access to native device features (camera, push, biometrics)
RapidNative solves this.
We generate React Native + Expo code that compiles to true native apps. The same tech used in production by Meta, Microsoft and Shopify.

Build your web app with Lovable
Build your mobile app with RapidNative
Many products need both a web presence and a mobile app. The good news: both platforms use Supabase for backend, so your data stays in sync.
Lovable
- Marketing website
- Web dashboard for admins
- Internal tool (browser-based)
RapidNative
- Customer-facing mobile app
- Field app for your team
Same backend. Same data. Best tool for each platform.

Common Questions
Is RapidNative made by Google?
No. RapidNative is a separate product built by an independent team. We just share the same idea: describe what you want, get working code. Google AI Studio focuses on Gemini prototypes on the web; RapidNative focuses on shipping real iOS and Android apps.
Does Google AI Studio support iOS?
Not natively. Google AI Studio’s Build feature generates web apps you preview in a browser. To turn that into a real iPhone or Android app you’d need to rewrite it in Swift, Kotlin or React Native. RapidNative outputs React Native + Expo directly, so the same prompt gives you an app that installs on a phone.
Can I still use Gemini with RapidNative?
Yes. You can call the Gemini API (or any other model) from inside the mobile app RapidNative generates. Nothing stops you from using Google’s models — you just get a real React Native app around them instead of a web page.
Can I bring my Google AI Studio project into RapidNative?
Not directly — AI Studio outputs web (HTML/React) and RapidNative outputs React Native (mobile). Tell RapidNative what you built in AI Studio in plain English and it will scaffold the mobile version with the same screens, data model and flows.
Do I need to know React Native?
No. Describe your app in plain English and RapidNative generates clean, production-ready React Native code. You can hand it to a developer, or keep iterating in the chat.
What tech stack does RapidNative use?
React Native with Expo, TypeScript, and NativeWind (Tailwind for mobile). Backend via Supabase. This is a modern, well-supported stack used in production by companies like Meta, Shopify and Discord.
Can any developer work with the exported code?
Yes. The code is standard React Native with TypeScript — any React Native developer can read, modify and extend it. No proprietary formats, no lock-in.
Ready to take your idea to iOS?
You already know how fast prompt-to-app can be on the web. Now experience it on a real iPhone and Android device.
