Gemini Code Assist

Gemini Code Assist is Google's AI coding assistant, evolved from Duet AI for Developers when Google consolidated its products under the Gemini brand in early 2024. The extension ships in three editions covering individual developers, teams, and enterprises, and integrates directly with Google Cloud services, Firebase, and Android Studio. Teams building on GCP get the most from it, since the product encodes Google Cloud APIs, best practices, and curated operational answers.

Key Capabilities:

• Code completions, full function generation from comments, and code transformation across languages

• "Finish Changes" feature that completes pseudocode, #TODO comments, and half-written code without requiring detailed prompts

• Agent mode with MCP support and custom commands for multi-step task execution

• Source citations identifying which documentation and code samples informed each suggestion

• Private codebase indexing on the Enterprise edition for organization-specific context

• App crash analysis with troubleshooting steps for mobile development in Android Studio

• Firebase and Google Cloud-curated answers for operations and infrastructure workflows

• IDE coverage for VS Code, JetBrains, Android Studio, and Cloud Workstations

• 1 million token context window with multi-modal chat

• Bundled Gemini CLI access with every subscription tier

• Free individual tier with 6,000 code requests and 240 chat requests per day
