Google Cloud's AI coding assistance and agents for the software development lifecycle, powered by Gemini 3 with a 1M token context window.

Profile

Gemini Code Assist is Google's AI coding assistant that brings its Gemini models into popular IDEs to complete code, generate functions and unit tests, explain and debug code, and answer development questions in chat. It grew out of Google's earlier 'Duet AI for Developers' product, which Google renamed and relaunched as Gemini Code Assist at Google Cloud Next in April 2024; a free 'Gemini Code Assist for individuals' tier later reached general availability at Google I/O 2025, powered by Gemini 2.5, alongside a companion code-review agent, Gemini Code Assist for GitHub.

What it does

Inside a supported IDE — VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, or Android Studio — Gemini Code Assist offers inline code completions as you type, can generate full functions or code blocks from a comment, writes unit tests, and helps debug existing code. A chat panel, opened via the Gemini 'spark' icon, lets developers ask questions or run built-in prompts such as 'write unit tests' or 'help me debug my code,' with the assistant using local codebase awareness inside the IDE for more relevant answers. The product is offered as two current enterprise-facing editions: Standard, which covers code completion and generation across popular languages plus AI-powered chat with enterprise-grade security, and Enterprise, which adds code customization — the ability to augment the underlying model with an organization's own private codebases for tailored suggestions — along with deeper integration into Google Cloud services such as Apigee and Application Integration. Notably, Google deprecated the standalone free 'Gemini Code Assist for individuals' tier as of June 18, 2026, folding individual usage into other Google AI plans.

Pricing

Google's official documentation confirms Standard and Enterprise as the current paid tiers but does not publish exact per-seat prices on its docs pages; third-party pricing trackers report Standard at roughly $19–$22.80 per user/month and Enterprise at roughly $45–$54 per user/month (depending on annual vs. monthly billing), though prospective buyers should confirm current figures directly with Google Cloud sales, since Google's public documentation directs pricing questions to its dedicated Gemini for Google Cloud pricing page rather than listing fixed numbers in the product docs.

Data privacy and who it's for

Google states that Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise do not use customer prompts or generated responses to train or fine-tune Google's underlying models, and that customer data is used only to serve the immediate request unless a customer opts in to share it. This data-governance stance, combined with admin controls and Google Cloud's broader compliance program, makes Gemini Code Assist a natural fit for organizations already standardized on Google Cloud and Google Workspace that want an IDE-embedded assistant with enterprise security guarantees, code customization on private repositories, and tight integration with Google's own developer and cloud tooling — as opposed to teams looking for a model-agnostic or fully open-source alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gemini Code Assist free?

Not as a standalone product anymore — Google deprecated the free 'Gemini Code Assist for individuals' tier as of June 18, 2026; current offerings are the paid Standard and Enterprise editions.

What does Gemini Code Assist cost?

Google's own documentation does not publish fixed per-seat prices for Standard and Enterprise and points to its dedicated pricing page instead; third-party pricing trackers report Standard at roughly $19-22.80/user/month and Enterprise at roughly $45-54/user/month, which prospective buyers should verify with Google Cloud sales.

Does Gemini Code Assist use my code to train Google's models?

No — Google states Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise do not use customer prompts or generated responses to train or fine-tune its models, and customer data is used only to serve the immediate request unless the customer opts in otherwise.

Which IDEs does Gemini Code Assist support?

Gemini Code Assist works in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Android Studio, offering completions, chat, code generation, and debugging help inside each.

What is the difference between Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise?

Standard covers code completion, code generation across popular languages, and AI-powered chat with enterprise-grade security; Enterprise adds code customization on an organization's own private codebases plus deeper integration into Google Cloud services such as Apigee and Application Integration.

How is Gemini Code Assist different from GitHub Copilot?

Gemini Code Assist is built and priced around Google's own Gemini models and Google Cloud integration (with an Enterprise tier that can be customized on private codebases), while GitHub Copilot is GitHub/Microsoft's assistant tied to the GitHub/Azure OpenAI ecosystem — the choice often comes down to which cloud and model ecosystem an organization already standardizes on.
