I like using Gemini Code Assist because it can generate boilerplate code and useful snippets quickly, which saves me a lot of time and effort. It speeds up my development process by reducing redundant tasks and helps me avoid digging through thousands of pages of documentation. I also find the context-aware code suggestions especially helpful, since they show what the code is for and make it easier to understand the purpose and functionality of certain functions. The explanations and debugging capabilities are valuable for fixing errors and improving my code. I’m also a fan of its integration with Android Studio, which makes my workflow feel more seamless. Overall, it’s a great tool for boosting productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, Gemini Code Assist needs some manual optimization for more complex or niche architectures, which can be a bit of a hassle. I’ve also noticed that on larger projects and codebases, the responses can feel somewhat generic and don’t always line up with what we’re specifically trying to achieve. The initial setup wasn’t especially easy, although it wasn’t terrible either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gemini code assistant is itself the best, i have Gemini Pro Subscription, ability to answer to the techinical code queries helps a lot. It not only helps to solve the issue but it also explains the issue and explain in detail what needs to be done. Just select the part of code which needs to be corrected and improved and write prompt in plugin, it deeply thinks and provides the result, best thing is after processing it shows where the changes are done with green highlighted and asks wheather user want to accept the changes or not. Auto code complition helps a lot,i have completed many projects using Gemini assistantand its perfect. Anything which saves your time,efforts and improve your coding knowledge is already perfect. The amount which is paid is worth it, rather rhan using any other Ai in browser, Gemini code assistant provides the solution inside the same IDE which is VS Code in my case. One of the best thing i liked about this is for example your project has 5-6 pages and css is stored in some other folder, once you ask for the change,it automatically updates its related reference pages and css or java files, otherwise one has to ask the same in ai on browser, then update the required lines in all the files manually, this not only saves my time but also helps me to know where the particular function or code is having reference. Perfect name as GEMINI CODE ASSISTANT, it really works as an assistant, give result what ever is asked. for me it saves time, previously the task which i have to do in 4-5 steps, like copy and paste code in browser and ask to give update then again updating single single file according to change,, in this its just give prompt and auto change Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gives irrelevent answers and it stops working. When ever i ask something it loads and loads and sometimes it crashes and says sent report, this needs to be improved, it should not stop inbetween, one has to close VS Code then again i have to do the same, sometimes even after detailed explanation multiple times,it gives totally wrong answer,, in few days i have face a lot of issue in Code Assistant in VS Code, out of 10 times- it stops 5-6 times or gives error, previously it used to process very smoothly but not maximum number of time it stops if code is big,, very very dissapointing,, making users too much comfortable and then taking the comfort, even after i m an pro user, this is totally a -ve point about an program or plugin, instead of improving,its degrading, even login takes lots of time, while login Gemini code asst. in VS Code, it redirects to browser to verify, even after verification it doesnot sign-in. if we close and come to Vs code, it shows signing in but no respond, one side it says signing in and on the other hand it shows signout button under menu,,very bad performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standout strengths of Gemini Code Assist come down to a few core areas:

- Massive 1M+ Context Window

- Agentic Workflows

- Native GCP & IDE Integration: VS Code, JetBrains, and Google Cloud services

- Private Enterprise Customization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, the frustrating part is that Gemini Code Assist can be extremely good one moment and strangely mediocre the next. The raw model isn't necessarily the problem. Context retrieval, IDE integration, tool selection, and how aggressively it makes assumptions can determine whether the experience feels brilliant or annoying. To be honest, it feels a bit overpriced for what it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve used Gemini Code Assist a few times, mostly when I needed help writing code or fixing issues, and it’s been quite useful. It suggests solutions quickly and helps me understand errors without having to spend too much time searching online. Overall, it’s a handy tool to have when I get stuck during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the suggestions aren’t fully accurate and need a bit of tweaking before they actually work. It can also struggle when the requirements involve complex business logic or when you’re working with a large codebase, so I often have to adjust the output to fit the situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that really like about Gemini Code Assist is that it is feels well informed about my codebase. It is good at guessing what I am trying to accomplish in projects. It can generate full functions from comments and has helped me understand a new codebase and document code.

I also like that it has a massive context window and this really makes it suitable for long coding sessions. It integrates very well with VS Code and provides clear inline code completions which are very well integrated with the user interface.

The setup and onboarding process is quick and simple, I did not encounter any problems with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What really bothers me the most is that despite it's larger context window. the performance degrades significantly after just a few uses, even before 80% of the context window is used. It does not support multi-file editing and sometimes the code suggestions can feel too generic especially for complex tasks and is prone to hallucinations.

I feel the pricing options could also be improved. The price for premium features is steep compared to what other tools offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gemini code assist can be integrated with any IDE. I used with Android studio which helps me a lot to add code on the basis of current implementation. Add any plugin support like analytics and crashlytics very easily. It respond very quick. Currently it is free enough to search and start initially. It have very large support system because the product has been created by Google. It is AI powered coding designed to help developers for coding and help to understand and create complex UI/UX design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes hallucinates Android APIs that don't exist.

Generated code still requires review.

Advanced enterprise features may require a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, as a general LLM for brainstorming, breaking down complex cloud concepts, or figuring out how to structure data pipelines, it's genuinely good. The coding itself can definitely be a hit or miss compared to other tools sometimes the logic or syntax needs a heavy edit but for setting up boilerplate and staying in your zone inside the editor, it gets the job done Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it can definitely hallucinate code, especially with newer API updates or less common libraries. It's not uncommon for it to confidently write deprecated syntax or slightly miss the logic, meaning you have to spend extra time babysitting the output and correcting its mistakes rather than just cruising through your workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Gemini Code Assist is how naturally it fits into my day-to-day development workflow inside the IDE. I mainly use it when working on backend services and integrations, and it’s been pretty solid at suggesting code that actually matches the context of what I’m building. It speeds up the repetitive parts, like writing API handlers or setting up data mappings, which ends up saving me time.

I also lean on it to quickly make sense of unfamiliar code blocks, especially when I’m dealing with larger codebases. Not going to lie, it doesn’t get everything right every single time, but overall it cuts down a lot of friction during development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I don't really like is that the suggestions can sometimes sound very confident even when the implementation isn't fully correct, so you still have to properly review the generated code before using it. It works best an assistant rather than something you can fully rely on blindly.

I've also noticed that for very project-specific logic or larger multi-file flows the context handling can be a bit inconsistent at time but if our code is properly refactored and have proper context md files it does not happen very often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gemini Code Assist is useful for quick development support. I mainly work on React, backend integration, and building dynamic pages, and it helps me generate code faster and understand concepts when I get stuck. It is easy to use and helps in creating UI components, fixing small errors, and giving ideas for implementation. For beginners and fast development, it saves time instead of searching everywhere.

What do you dislike about Gemini Code Assist?

For real-time projects, sometimes the code suggestions are not fully accurate or production-ready. I often need to modify the code to match my requirements. It also struggles with complex backend logic, integrations (like APIs, databases, payments), and understanding exact project needs. Responses can feel generic sometimes, and more precise, practical solutions would make it much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, what I love most is that it actually gets out of your way. Most assistants feel like a chatty intern you have to constantly manage, but Gemini feels like a partner who’s already read the whole room.

​The 2-million token window is the real MVP. I can point it at an entire massive monorepo and it just knows—no more "copy-pasting" context. It catches those "butterfly effect" bugs where a change in your API breaks a random helper five folders away. It’s less about autocomplete and more about having a teammate who’s memorized the entire codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

​What really grinds my gears is the "Confident Hallucination." Sometimes, instead of just saying "I don't know," it’ll invent an API or a library method that looks 100% real but doesn't actually exist. It’s like a teammate who’s too embarrassed to admit they’re lost.

​Also, it can get "context-blind" in messy code. If your project isn't perfectly structured, it occasionally loses the plot and suggests repetitive variables or logic that conflicts with what’s five lines up. It's brilliant, but you definitely can't take your hands off the wheel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
