https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/25/google-launches-a-free-ai-coding-assistant-with-very-high-usage-caps/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email On Tuesday, Google introduced a new, free consumer version of its AI code completion and assistance tool, Gemini Code Assist, which the company calls Gemini Code Assist for individuals. The company also rolled out Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, a code review “agent” designed to automatically look for bugs in code and offer suggestions directly within GitHub. Code Assist for individuals lets developers use a chat window to talk in natural language with a Google AI model that can access and edit their codebase. Much like GitHub’s popular Copilot tool, Gemini Code Assist for individuals can fix bugs, complete sections of code, or explain parts of the codebase that don’t make sense.
