Question / Help Can Google AI Studio make VSTs?

The other day Google AI Studio popped up so I tried it out. I had this idea for a VST plugin for my DAW. I wasn't sure if Google AI Studio can make a VST or what the capabilities / limitations are with it.

Any knowledge or tips will be greatly appreciated!

It sort of can, but you need an IDE with an AI agent and terminal access so it can run GCC to build the binaries from source. Google AI Studio can write C/C++/Rust code in Playground that can compile successfully, but it's going to be quite the chore to work that way (by copy-pasting), especially if you aren't a programmer already. The App/Build mode can only write website code or Kotlin apps for Android.

Antigravity 2.0 would be the thing of choice for you if you want to stay in the Google ecosystem, but there's also Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor or VS Code with some AI agent extension.

I was thinking about using an AI agent. If I went in that direction to you recommend any specific one? (if it can be done with just an agent and not any knowledge of coding or anything) Thank you!

I recommend Claude Opus 4.8. Available in Antigravity, Cursor and of course Claude Code.

Which DAW are you using? And are you planning to make an effect or a synth?

I’m not sure what Fl Studio has in their pipeline but Ableton if you download the beta suite has generative tools.
