Gemini Code Assist - The Code tool from Google to Challenge GitHub Copilot

Google's latest research at DORA highlights a major shift in software development—more than 75% of developers now rely on AI in their daily work. At Google, AI is already playing a huge role, with over 25% of all new code being generated by AI before being reviewed and accepted by engineers. While big organizations have the resources to equip their developers with cutting-edge AI tools, that’s not always the case for students, hobbyists, freelancers, and startups. And with the global developer population expected to reach 57.8 million by 2028, Google believe AI should be accessible to everyone—regardless of their budget.

It's the science behind creating AI that can work independently, like a smart robot that can learn and solve problems on its own. So, AI agents are the actual tools you use, while agentic AI is the knowledge and research that goes into making them. It's like the difference between a delicious cake and the recipe book that tells you how to bake it. Why is this important?  Well, as agentic AI gets smarter, our AI helpers will become e...
