Gemini Code Assist
Gemini Code Assist is an AI coding assistant that writes, reviews and fixes code inside IDE extensions and a command-line client. Google retired its individual and Google AI Pro tiers in June 2026, directing those accounts to the Antigravity products.

Who it's for
Best for
Developers who want AI assistance directly within command-line workflows
Not for
- Solo developers seeking personal plans after Google retired individual tiers
- IntelliJ IDEA developers, where the plugin is broken most of the time
Features
IDE extensions
The assistant is delivered as IDE extensions that connect to Google's models after signing in with a Google account.
Gemini CLI
A command-line companion brings the same assistant into terminal work and follows the same access rules as the IDE extensions.
Standard and Enterprise subscriptions
Paid Standard and Enterprise subscriptions are sold separately and carry their own deprecation schedule, distinct from individual tiers.
Antigravity migration
Former individual accounts are directed to the Antigravity product family, with a published guide for moving from Gemini CLI to Antigravity CLI.
What users say
Pros
- Free Flash model quotas easily cover long daily coding sessions.
- Switching off the model router and staying on the Pro model turned unusable output into solid working code.
Cons
- The IntelliJ plugin is broken most of the time, and the input box sometimes refuses typing altogether.
- Sessions break with a response error that requires deleting stale token folders before the extension works again.
- Accounts get misclassified as Enterprise, forcing a permanent 403 loop that ended with the ticket closed unresolved.
- Function calls come out with parameters scrambled in short scripts, and R functions get invented outright.
- Generated auth tests shipped with seed hashes that did not match the passwords, so three of four tests failed.
- One task burned a tenth of the daily token limit, leaving roughly ten tasks before rate limiting.
