Can someone help with the usecase for each of the Google AI tools , hard to determine when to use each tool

Google Cloud Build with AI AI Infrastructure
1

Below are the list of fancy tools from Google , not sure if i missed anything. Some of them like Opal are hard to use, I would like to understand when to use which tool

Hey,

Hope you’re keeping well.

Each of these tools targets a different stage of building with Gemini and other Google AI capabilities. AI Studio is best for quickly prototyping prompts and models in a browser, while Gemini CLI is for developers who want to integrate Gemini into local workflows or scripts. Gemini Code Assist works inside supported IDEs to help with code completion and generation. Genkit is a framework for building AI-powered apps with server-side code, often paired with Firebase or Cloud Functions. Cline and Opal are more experimental interfaces for conversational and agent-based workflows, and Antigravity is a research/experimentation playground.

Thanks and regards,
Taz

Now.

Gemini Enterprise: where you can use your custom agents etc.
AI Studio: Where you vibecode (like lovable) + use models to prototype (but not up-to-date), Generative media models
Vertex AI Studio: Where you can prototype with all newest models! Generative media models.
Antigravity: Agentic AI Powered IDE, you can use agent mode.
Gemini CLI: Doing some kind of Antigravity, Agentic coding but in CLI!

Opal: N8N alternative kind of product but not released some 120+ countries afaik.

Even though I’m an AI Engineer, I don’t know much about the Firebase Studio AI, since they released a big update the other day. :smiley:
