Google tests new AI Studio UI with prompt preset management

Google’s ongoing revamp of AI Studio continues with a mix of visual updates and deeper customization options aimed at developers and teams working with Gemini-powered apps. One of the more notable features in the pipeline is the ability for users to save multiple system prompts and easily toggle between them within the AI Studio interface.

This change benefits those who frequently experiment with prompt engineering, as it allows for quick context switching and comparative testing without needing to manually rewrite instructions each time. The feature is not live yet, but traces of its development suggest it could land in the next few weeks, as Google’s internal roadmap points to a one-month investment in this redesign.

The already available system instructions for individual apps provide further control. Now, developers can not only pick between code frameworks like React and TypeScript but also attach precise instructions about how Gemini should structure generated code. This lets teams shape outputs according to their project’s conventions or requirements directly from the app’s customization menu.

On the visual side, the AI Studio homepage is getting a new look, and gallery apps now feature a refreshed layout with a section for highlighted or pinned projects. There’s growing speculation that this gallery could evolve into a full-fledged artifacts store, where users share or discover reusable AI components or workflows.

For context, Google’s broader product strategy for Gemini and AI Studio has focused on building flexible, developer-centric tooling that supports rapid prototyping and easier integration. The shift to prompt preset management and UI improvements fits this direction and signals that Google aims to support both experimentation and production use cases in a more streamlined way. As these updates roll out, TestingCatalog will be watching closely for how they impact developer productivity and app quality.
