Migration from Gemini Canvas to Studio

Gemini API
,
1

Hello everyone,

I have been building a functional HTML application using Gemini Canvas, which has been great for the initial scaffolding and visualization.
Now, I want to take this project to the next level using vibe coding in Google AI Studio.

The Problem: I am struggling to migrate the codebase effectively. Simply copying and pasting the generated code from Canvas into the AI Studio chat context results in significant regression. Basic functionality and specific UI features are often lost.

My Question: Is there a recommended workflow, export feature, or integration to move a current Canvas session (html file) directly into Google AI Studio as a primed context? I am looking for a way to maintain full code integrity without having to manually reconstruct the prompt history.

Any advice on bridging this gap between Canvas and Studio would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @Amir_2121,

Welcome to the Google AI Forum! :confetti_ball: :confetti_ball:

Canvas is build for generic Q&A, research, bring ideas to life and other general purpose use-cases. As this is a general purpose environment, it recommended to use apps build for prototyping such as “build app” within “AI Studio”. You can also integrate github with build apps, download the code as well. You can manually copy paste all the generated code in github and integrate with build app with github and continue further prototyping. Thus you can migrate the initial code version and continue prototyping in the right platform.. I haven’t tried this approach personally but I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t work.

Please try this approach and let me know if this works.

Happy coding :slight_smile:
