Google announced the integration of Gemini Pro into Android Studio’s bot, expanding Gemini’s presence across its products. Powered by the PaLM-2 foundation model, Studio Bot was introduced at Google I/O in May 2023. Gemini is now available in over 180 countries for the Jellyfish edition of Android Studio. The Bard chatbot also transitioned from PaLM-2 to Gemini Pro in February. Developers can leverage Gemini’s capabilities within the IDE, receiving improved responses for coding queries, code completion, debugging, resource location, and documentation generation. Users must log in and enable Gemini for privacy considerations, with responses influenced by developer context and conversation history. Google emphasizes the ease of integrating generative AI-powered features into apps using Android Studio and the Gemini API Starter template. This move underscores Google’s efforts to compete with platforms like GitHub Copilot, as seen in its introduction of Codey assistant last year for Google Cloud Services and programming support.
