Google's Gemini Code Assist Adds Third-Party Tool Integration
2024-12-20
Google announced support for third-party tools in Gemini Code Assist, its enterprise-focused AI code completion service. This allows integration with tools like Jira, GitHub, and Sentry via plugins, reducing context switching and boosting developer productivity. Currently in private preview for Google Cloud partners, this feature directly competes with GitHub's Copilot Enterprise, though Google highlights advantages like on-premises codebase support. The addition of tools aims to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency for developers.
