Google enhances Gemini Code Assist with new features
Google has leveled up Gemini Code Assist by adding the powerful Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model. Now, whether you're coding solo or with a team, you get smarter code suggestions and better context for tricky tasks like code transformation. The best part? It's free to use through Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDE extensions.
What's new in Gemini Code Assist?
Gemini Code Assist now lets you set up Custom Commands and Rules, so you can speed up repetitive tasks and stick to your project's style guide more easily. The GitHub code review agent is sharper at spotting issues, and the chat interface is more flexible—you can include whole folders in prompts, pick files straight from the Context Drawer, and juggle multiple chat sessions without losing your place. All these updates make coding smoother and more organized for everyone.
