Google Cloud is integrating generative artificial intelligence-powered assistance into application development to boost the capabilities of human software developers.
At Google Cloud Next 2025, they introduced a new AI-powered cloud for developers and operators to streamline software development.
The new Application Design Center provides a visual approach to designing application templates and collaborating with other developers.
Google's AI agents, Gemini Code Assist and Gemini Cloud Assist, automate various aspects of app development and infrastructure management.
Gemini Code Assist can generate code, check for issues, provide test cases, evaluate AI models, and create documentation.
Developers can interact with Gemini Code Assist via a Kanban board and connect it to third-party platforms with prebuilt tools.
Gemini Cloud Assist automates infrastructure design, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance, reducing the workload on engineering teams.
Gemini Cloud Assist Investigations helps troubleshoot and resolve issues, while the Cost Optimization dashboard aids in performance and cost optimization.
Integration capabilities have been expanded, with Gemini Cloud Assist available in various Google Cloud services for enhanced efficiency.
