Google’s Gemini Code Assist Levels Up with Gemini 2.5 & Personalization

19/06/2025

Google just supercharged Gemini Code Assist with its Gemini 2.5 models, bringing smarter coding, deeper personalization, and better context handling to dev workflows. This isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a sharper, more adaptable AI coding partner. Key highlights:

🧠 Gemini 2.5 Under the Hood – Topping benchmarks with better reasoning, code generation, and PR reviews. Now handles complex refactors and boilerplate with higher accuracy.

🎨 Custom Commands & Rules – Define shortcuts for repetitive tasks (e.g., scaffolding components) and enforce team conventions directly in the AI’s output.

🗂 Smarter Context Control – The new Context Drawer lets you manage active files in chats, and the 1M token window allows full workspace inclusion for richer responses.

💬 Multi-Session Chats – Juggle separate conversations without losing history, making it easier to tackle multiple problems at once.

Free for individuals via VS Code/JetBrains plugins, this positions Gemini as a serious contender against GitHub Copilot and GitLab Duo — especially for teams craving granular control over AI-assisted coding.

At GlenFlow, we’re excited to see AI coding tools evolve beyond generic suggestions into personalized, context-aware assistants. As we integrate similar adaptive intelligence into our workflow analytics, updates like this reinforce how AI can reduce friction and let developers focus on high-impact work.
