Budding developers can check out a free version of Google’s Gemini AI coding tool

You’re standing in the bookstore in the coding section. You pick up one of those impossibly thick books on coding. As you flip the pages, your eyes start to swim because it feels like you’re reading alien language. Coding can feel daunting, and while AI-powered coding tools exist, free versions often come with frustrating limits—forcing you to pay just to get meaningful help. If you’ve always wanted a bit of help with your code, Google has launched a free version of its Gemini AI coding tool.

This free variant is called Gemini Code Assist. Signing up is pretty easy—all you need is a personal Google account, and you’re good to go. The tool is powered by an unspecified Gemini 2.0 model, but it should be good enough for most users. Other AI coding tools exist, but their restrictions often make free versions feel useless—unless you pay up

Some free AI tools restrict you to a measly 2,000 completions. Google blows past that with a staggering 180,000 completions per month. That’s enough to support your projects without hitting an annoying paywall. The best part? Gemini Code Assist works with all programming languages offered in the public domain. Unless you’re planning to work with very niche or proprietary code, this free Gemini AI coding tool is more than sufficient.

If you’ve been holding off on AI coding assistants because of costs or limits, this is your chance to dive in—without restrictions. You can find out more and sign up by heading to its website.
