Introducing Gemini Code Assist: AI Coding Assistance for Developers, Now Free for Individuals

Gemini Code Assist is revolutionizing the way developers work with its new, free version available in Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs. This AI coding assistance tool offers individual developers the same code completion, generation, and chat capabilities that have been available to businesses for over a year.

With the generous usage limit of 90 times more code completions per month than other popular free coding assistants, developers of all types can benefit from Gemini Code Assist. Students working on time-sensitive projects can now avoid hitting a cap or worrying about chat limits interrupting their pair-programming sessions.

One of the standout features of Gemini Code Assist for individuals is its token context window, which supports up to 128,000 input tokens in chat. This allows developers to work with large files and gives Gemini a broader understanding of their local codebases.

The chat feature in Gemini Code Assist simplifies the development process by handling repetitive tasks like writing comments or automated tests from requirements, allowing developers to focus on the creative aspect of coding.

Developers can use natural language in multiple languages to generate, explain, and improve code with Gemini Code Assist. Whether it’s building a simple HTML form, automating routine tasks, or debugging code snippets, Gemini is there to assist every step of the way.

Overall, Gemini Code Assist is leveling the playing field for developers by providing powerful AI coding assistance where it’s needed most, at no cost. With its user-friendly features and generous usage limits, developers can now streamline their workflow and enhance their coding experience like never before.
