Research recently indicated by DORA shows developers using over 75% of artificial intelligence daily. AI, for example, generates more than 25% of all new code created within Google, and engineers subsequently review and approve it.
Therefore, while these companies easily make provisions for funding their engineering teams in advanced AI tools, such facilities have not been extended to students, hobbyists, freelancers, and startups.
With the expected number of developers worldwide to reach 57.8 million by 2028, there is a strong belief that AI would at least open its doors to everyone financially well-off or otherwise to be able to use whatever would be their standard future digital tools.
To fight this disparity, a public preview of Gemini Code Assist for Individuals kicks off today, providing a free version of the AI coding assistant. Gemini Code Assist for individuals is now available worldwide, powered by Gemini 2.0.
It supports all public-domain programming languages and has been optimized for coding tasks. In fact, the Gemini 2.0 model has been refined based on comprehensive examination and validation of many real-life coding examples for developers.
Hence, AI-generated suggestions have much higher quality in Gemini Code Assist, ready to tackle the diversity of daily challenges for developers in various situations–be they hobbyists or working in startups.
It also becomes better than the best free coding assistants available now since it has absolutely no limits on the number of users. It provides up to 180,000 code completions per month while the rest typically limit up to 2,000 code completions per month. So much so that a professional developer can never reach it.
Moreover, like some aspects of coding speed, AI is also more quality in coding. Speed and accuracy in reviewing codes would be essential and yet code review usually takes longer time impeding progress.
