We’re excited to announce the availability of Gemini Code Assist for individuals at no cost and with high usage limits to support most daily use. Now in addition to no-cost AI assistance provided by Gemini in Firebase, you can get AI assistance in your IDE to build Firebase applications with higher velocity and quality - with 6,000 code completions and 240 chat interactions daily.
Last year, we introduced Gemini in Firebase to provide targeted assistance for Firebase developers in the Firebase console. Built on Gemini for Google Cloud and using a customized version of the Gemini model, Gemini in Firebase helps you:
- answer your questions when getting started
- generate boilerplate code when setting up Firebase SDKs
- optimize or refactor Firebase-specific code
- offer troubleshooting support to improve your app’s quality
- analyze app crashes and provide recommended next steps
- write GraphQL queries for Firebase Data Connect
However, we know you’re not always working in the console. For your work in the IDE, Gemini Code Assist completes your code as you write, generates code blocks and functions on demand, and gives you chat assistance using Gemini 2.0, optimized for coding use cases and context from your local codebase to offer relevant answers.
Gemini Code Assist is available in many popular IDEs, such as Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, GoLand, WebStorm, and more), Cloud Workstations, and Cloud Shell Editor. It also supports many programming languages, including Java, Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript, Dart, C++, C#, Python, Go, and more.
Code creation is one step to getting code to production, and the next step is usually code reviews! With Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, which is now a GitHub app, you can get code reviews on pull requests for bugs and stylistic errors.
Paired with AI assistance in Firebase, you get a continuous, AI-powered loop of productivity, reducing context switching and streamlining the entire Firebase development lifecycle – all at no cost.
Get started!
Ready to elevate your Firebase development? Here’s how to get started:
