Google's enterprise AI coding assistant that brings Gemini 3 code completion, chat, and agents to popular IDEs, the terminal, and Google Cloud tools.
About
Gemini Code Assist is Google's AI-powered coding assistant for teams and businesses, built on Google's Gemini large language models. It addresses the constant pressure development organizations face to write, review, and maintain software faster by providing code completion, code generation, natural language chat, and agents that can handle tasks across the software development lifecycle.
The product is available in Standard and Enterprise editions and uses Gemini 3 with a 1 million token context window for subscribers in the Preview release channel. It works inside widely used IDEs such as Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, extends to the command line through the open source Gemini CLI, and integrates with Google Cloud services including Apigee, Firebase, BigQuery, and Application Integration. Google states that the underlying models are fine-tuned on billions of lines of open source code, security data, and Google's own engineering practices.
