Google has launched AI-powered Gemini Code Assist for free public use, previously priced at $19 per person per month.
The current version of Gemini Code Assist utilizes the latest Gemini 2.0 model tailored for coding, supporting all programming languages. It is currently compatible with Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDE. The free version of Gemini Code Assist has a slight limitation on code completion assistance, capped at 180,000 times per person per month, which is considered significantly high and unlikely to be reached easily. Additionally, the chat feature with Gemini supports a large context window of 128,000 tokens, which should be more than sufficient for general coding tasks.
In addition to integration with IDEs, Google has also released Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, an app on the GitHub platform that allows Gemini to directly read all the code in our repositories.
Moving forward, the organizational version of Gemini Code Assist will offer enhanced features in customization and integration with services on Google Cloud.
TLDR: Google offers AI-driven Gemini Code Assist for free with advanced features for coding assistance and integration with GitHub and Google Cloud services.
