Tailored Coding Support

A key feature of the enterprise edition is its capability for codebase integration. This allows AI assistance to be customized using a company's internal repositories hosted on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, for both cloud and on-premise installations 1

By aligning with the organization's actual codebase, Gemini can generate more accurate and context-relevant code completions, suggestions, and chat responses. Internal research by Turing suggests that enabling code customization with Gemini Code Assist Enterprise results in a nearly 70% improvement in code acceptance rates compared to using the base model alone 1
