Gemini Code Assist will be shut down on July 17

Google's Gemini Code Assist, a tool for AI-powered code reviews within GitHub repositories, is scheduled to be shut down on July 17.

Background

- **Google Gemini Code Assist** was a developer tool (launched 2024) that used Google's Gemini AI model to assist with code writing, review, and repository analysis inside IDEs like VS Code and JetBrains. - The tool will be **shut down on July 17**, as announced in a Google documentation notice. Users are directed to migrate to **Gemini in IDEs** (the new, rebranded version of the same functionality). - This is part of Google's broader consolidation of its "Gemini" product line — the company has been repeatedly renaming and reorganizing its AI coding tools (originally "Duet AI for Developers," then "Gemini Code Assist," now "Gemini in IDEs"). - The shutdown matters because it creates disruption for developers who integrated the tool into their workflows, and reflects Google's ongoing difficulty with stable product naming and continuity in the AI developer tools space.
