About "Studio（旧STUDIO）"
What is Studio
Studio is a made-in-Japan no-code web-creation platform for building, publishing, and operating design-forward websites without coding. Provided by Studio, Inc., its intuitive drag-and-drop editor produces sites of a quality comparable to custom/scratch development. Used by 900,000+ people, it is cited as the No.1 domestic no-code CMS by usage share (as of December 2025).
The AI capability once marketed as "STUDIO AI" is now offered as "Studio Assistant (Beta)." The AI generates wireframe and design drafts from your requirements and interview input, and you then finish them in Studio's main editor—a draft-then-refine division of labor (this page's old name "STUDIO AI" = the current Studio / Studio Assistant).
Studio's strength is achieving pixel-level, template-free design entirely in no-code. Responsive design, animations, CMS, and custom-domain publishing are all completed on one platform. Recently it also revamped its published-site foundation to improve load speed, SEO, and readability for AI crawlers.

Draft with AI, refine in the editor
Studio Assistant supports the early phase of production (interview → information architecture → design draft) with AI, then hands the draft to Studio's editor for finishing. With the tagline "To the height of creation, at the speed of imagination," it reduces the effort of building from scratch while the final quality is secured in a pro-grade editor.

How it differs from other no-code / AI web builders
Studio's strengths are that it is made in Japan with a Japanese UI, offers high design freedom, and covers publishing and operation end to end. Its aim differs from AI builders that generate whole apps from a prompt.
| Aspect | Studio | v0 | Base44 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focus | Design-forward web creation | Prompt-to-web-app | All-in-one app building |
| Method | No-code editing + AI drafting | Code generation | AI agent |
| Japanese | Made in Japan, Japanese UI | English-first | English-first |
The prompt-to-web-app v0 and Base44, and the general-purpose Canva are comparison points. If you want to build design-forward websites in a Japanese no-code environment, Studio is a strong choice.
