Google Unveils Integrated Developer Tools for AI Pro and Ultra Subscribers with Cloud Credits and Seamless Deployment
There’s a special kind of magic in getting a generative AI model to do exactly what you want—fine-tuning a prompt, adjusting the context, and suddenly, it clicks. But for many developers, that moment of breakthrough is quickly followed by a less magical reality check: Now how do I turn this into a real app without running up a huge bill? We’re addressing that gap. The journey from a great idea in a chat window to a live, functional application should be as smooth and fast as possible. That’s why we’ve now integrated Google Developer Program (GDP) premium benefits directly into Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscriptions—no extra cost. Subscribers to Google AI Pro now receive $10 in Google Cloud credits each month, while Google AI Ultra users get $100 in monthly credits. These credits are designed to help you build, test, and deploy AI-powered applications without financial friction. Previously, the GDP premium subscription gave developers access to our most advanced models, like Gemini 3 Pro—ideal for prototyping. But moving from prototype to production often meant setting up a separate Google Cloud billing account, creating a delay and a hurdle in the development process. With this new integration, you get the tools and resources you need to go live—all in one place. The monthly credits can be used directly for deploying your apps via Vertex AI, Cloud Run, or for API usage with Gemini, so you can scale your projects without interruption. Here’s how it works in practice. Start by refining your idea in Google AI Studio, explore the new agentic IDE, Google Antigravity, or use the open-source AI agent in the terminal with Gemini CLI. Once your app is working as intended, seamlessly transition to deployment using your monthly Google Cloud credits—whether you're running inference, hosting services, or interacting with AI agents through Vertex AI or AI Studio. This integration closes the loop between experimentation and production, enabling a true end-to-end development experience. If you’re already a Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra subscriber, head over to the Google Developer Program to activate your new benefits and dive into developer content, communities, and forums. Now, go build something amazing.
