# Google Launches Code Assist to Take on GitHub’s Copilot

Google’s Code Assist challenges GitHub’s Copilot with enhanced AI features.

Google recently introduced Code Assist, their updated answer to enhance programming efficiency in the challenge against GitHub’s Copilot. Code Assist emerged as a refined version of its predecessor, Duet AI, now including a substantial context capacity that promises more precise coding suggestions. This tool adapts to different company codebases for a more personalized experience and accommodates diverse scenarios, such as split or on-premises codebases, aiming for widespread adaptability and ease of integration.

The launch includes strategic collaborations with established platforms such as Stack Overflow, ensuring that a broad spectrum of developer knowledge is accessible. Complementing this release, Google has also unveiled CodeGemma and Gemini Cloud Assist, initiatives focusing on code generation and robust application lifecycle management. With a competitive monthly price of $39, Code Assist is positioned as a direct competitor to GitHub’s Copilot Enterprise, marking Google’s assertive move in the AI-assisted coding landscape.
