Google Cloud has announced Gemini Code Assist Enterprise, billed as an enterprise-grade tool that lets developers generate or transform code that is more accurate and relevant to their applications.

Generally available on October 9, Gemini Code Assist Enterprise is a cloud-based, AI-powered application development solution that works across the technology stack to provide better contextual suggestions, enterprise-grade security commitments, and integrations across Google Cloud. The tool supports developers in being more versatile and working with a wider set of services faster, Google Cloud said

Supported by Gemini’s large token context window, Gemini Code Assist Enterprise moves beyond AI-powered coding assistance in the IDE, Google Cloud said. The company emphasized the following features of Gemini Code Assist Enterprise:

  • Tools and insights to quickly gather insight and complete complex tasks. These let developers stay in the flow state longer and spend more time focusing on creative problem-solving.
  • Coding assistance is built directly into Google Cloud services across the cloud. This results in a more versatile coding experience for specialized developers and decreases the time needed to train on new technologies.
  • Enterprise-grade security commitments. Customer data in Gemini Code Assist Enterprise is not used to train the model. Instead, the data is stored in an isolated Google Cloud project dedicated to the organization for use in code customization.

Gemini Code Assist Enterprise works with the Google Firebase development platform, BigQuery, databases, application integration, the Google Cloud Colab Enterprise managed notebook environment, and Apigee AI management. It is now generally available, with prices starting at $45 per month per user. It is available for $19 per month per user on a one-year subscription until March 31, 2025.
