Gemini Code Assist

Bringing "Antigravity" intelligence directly into your editor.

What is it?

Gemini Code Assist (formerly Duet AI) is your in-editor partner. It lives inside VS Code and understands your entire project context.

In VS Code, click the Extensions icon (blocks) on the left sidebar.

2Search

Type "Gemini Code Assist".

3Install & Sign In

Click Install. Once finished, a Google icon will appear on the sidebar. Click it and sign in with your Google Cloud account.

4Select Project

You may need to select a Google Cloud Project ID. If you don't have one, the extension will guide you to create one for free.


Alternative: Project IDX

If you prefer a browser-based "Antigravity" experience, try Google's Project IDX. It's VS Code running fully in the cloud with Gemini built-in. No installation required.
