Google upgrades its programming agent Code Assist with Gemini 2.0, adds source integrations

Google's enterprise-focused Code Assist will now be powered by Gemini 2.0 and connect to tools like Atlassian, GitHub and GitLab.

On the heels of releasing its new generative AI models, Google updated its Code Assist tools to work with Gemini 2.0 and expanded the external data sources it connects to. Google Cloud senior director for product management Ryan J.
