Google has rolled out major upgrades to Gemini Code Assist, integrating the powerful Gemini 2.5 Pro model. This update brings smarter coding suggestions, improved personalization, and enhanced context management, making AI-assisted coding more
With Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini Code Assist now delivers more relevant code suggestions and better understands the context behind user prompts. Developers can expect higher accuracy in code generation, whether writing new functions or refactoring existing code. The AI can now handle complex queries about a project’s codebase, making debugging and optimization smoother.
Google has introduced two new personalization tools to streamline workflows:
- Custom Commands: Developers can create shortcuts for repetitive tasks, making coding more efficient.
- Rules: Users can set project-specific conventions to ensure generated code aligns with best practices and internal libraries.
These features help teams maintain consistency while speeding up development.
The latest update enhances Gemini Code Assist’s chat interface, allowing developers to:
- Include entire folders in prompts for better context.
- Use the Context Drawer to select active files and folders.
- Run multiple chat sessions simultaneously and resume past conversations.
These improvements make AI-assisted coding more intuitive and adaptable to complex projects.
For developers in South Africa, these updates mean faster coding, better project management, and more reliable AI assistance. Whether working on enterprise applications or personal projects, Gemini Code Assist’s new features provide a smarter, more efficient coding experience.
