I think the title is wrong, it's "Gemini Code Assist on GitHub" for non-enterprise users that is being shut down. Not "Gemini Code Assist". Yes their naming scheme is absurd

Highly recommend exerting the extra effort it takes to remain portable with your AI workflow. Not just to workaround typical Google shut downs, but also the incoming price hikes.
Came here to say this. I have no idea what these products are supposed to be. Very much "Windows Github Copilot Home", "Github Enterprise Office 365", "Docs Gemini Assist One", "Windows Copilot Pro Educational"
This is exactly the kind of risk I try to flag when reviewing AI tools for non-technical solopreneurs — a tool being genuinely good today says nothing about whether it'll still exist in 6 months. I've started weighting "how painful is it if this disappears" almost as heavily as the feature set itself, because the people I write for don't have the bandwidth to migrate on short notice if something like this happens.
Was anyone here building a real workflow around Code Assist specifically, or was it more of a nice-to-have layered on top of something else?
Most of these free AI coding tool/agents won't exist anymore by 2028. This LLM thing is so expensive to run, it's understandable that these corporations are moving to the monetization phase.
What solopreneurs also need to worry about is that the cost for these tools is likely to increase... exponentially, because even paid, the plans are still heavily subsidized... when the profit seeking phase kicks in, some people indeed will be there for a rude awakening...
I personally do not to rely heavily on these tools for my projects, because I know what's going to happen.

What the doublespeak hell is this?
> The enterprise version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is a separate and distinct product from Gemini Code Assist Enterprise.

URL should probably be: [Sunset of the Consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/deprec...)
Code Assist isn't being shut down (despite the editatorialized title), they're just not giving it away for free anymore.
That's one way to frame it. For those who adopted Code Assist and made it part of their process, it's at best a technicality, at worst extortion.
> Important: The enterprise version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is a separate and distinct product from Gemini Code Assist Enterprise.
Ah yes, the famous clarity with Google product naming. Nearly as good as Microsoft's naming.

If google ever fails it will be because they are fundamentally bad at product management.
Thank you Google, you are one of the last remaining companies we can depend on behaving consistently! Please never change! ;-)

This is separate from https://github.com/codyogden/killedbygoogle/pull/1694 right?

Shut down the whole thing.
