**Gemini Cloud Assist** Feature
### Model Context Protocol support
MCP support is available in Private Preview. To request access, contact your
Google Cloud account team. You can interact with Gemini Cloud Assist agents from
various surfaces, including third-party client agents and IDEs, using the Model

**Gemini Cloud Assist** Feature
### Proactive agents for issue investigation
Proactive agents are available in Private Preview to Premium Support customers.
Enable Gemini Cloud Assist to autonomously investigate issues triggered by Cloud
Alerting policies or cost anomalies in the background. These investigations
don't modify or make any changes to your environment. Results and insights, such
as root cause analysis for alerts or cost spike drivers, are delivered via
Eventarc. You can view these results in the Google Cloud console. This feature requires
administrator enablement and configuration of an agent identity. For more
information, see [Configure proactive agents](https://docs.cloud.google.com/cloud-assist/proactive-agents-setup.md.txt).
**Gemini Cloud Assist** Feature
### Page context awareness
Page context awareness is available in Public Preview. Gemini Cloud Assist
automatically uses the context of the content currently visible on your
Google Cloud console page to provide more relevant and accurate responses to your
prompts. For more information, see
[Manage page context sharing](https://docs.cloud.google.com/cloud-assist/chat-panel.md.txt#page-context-sharing).

### geminicloudassist API automatically enabled for Gemini Cloud Assist chat users
As of April 16th, 2026, the `geminicloudassist.googleapis.com` API has been
automatically enabled on projects that meet **all** of the following criteria:
- Had used [Gemini Cloud Assist chat](https://docs.cloud.google.com/cloud-assist/chat-panel.md.txt) in the prior 60 days.
- Had the `cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com` API enabled on April 16, 2026.
- Did not have the `geminicloudassist.googleapis.com` API enabled on April 16, 2026.
The Gemini Cloud Assist chat functionality that was previously served by
`cloudaicompanion.googleapis.com` is now served by
`geminicloudassist.googleapis.com`, and both APIs are dependencies to use
Gemini Cloud Assist. This automatic API enablement ensures that users have
access to the same functionality without any loss of service.

### VPC Service Controls support for Gemini Cloud Assist investigations deprecation
Starting April 13, 2026, Gemini Cloud Assist investigations will no longer be
supported within VPC Service Controls perimeters. You do not need to remove the
Gemini Cloud Assist API (`geminicloudassist.googleapis.com`) from your
Restricted Service configurations, but if you keep it there, access to it will
still be blocked within the perimeter. To continue using this feature, you must
make requests to the service from outside any VPC Service Controls perimeter.
For more information, see the
[Deprecated VPC Service Controls support for Gemini Cloud Assist investigations](https://docs.cloud.google.com/cloud-assist/deprecations/vpcsc-support)
page.
**VS Code Gemini Code Assist 2.77.1** Fixed
### Agent mode logs now attributed to Gemini Code Assist
VS Code Gemini Code Assist `2.77.1` now attributes agent mode logs to Gemini
Code Assist. In previous versions, agent mode logs are being attributed to
Gemini CLI instead of Gemini Code Assist. This discrepancy is resolved in the
latest release, and we recommend that you update to version `2.77.1` or higher
to ensure your usage metrics are correctly reported.

### Finish Changes in IntelliJ (Preview)
The [finish changes](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/codeassist//write-code-gemini#finish-changes)
feature acts as an AI pair programmer that observes your in-progress work and
completes the job, eliminating the need to write complex prompts. The core
strength of the finish changes feature lies in its flexibility, allowing you to
use a mix of input styles, such as pseudocode, #TODOs, or half-written code.
This combination minimizes distraction and ensures you remain in control of the
high-level design.
**IntelliJ Gemini Code Assist 1.40.0** Feature
### Outline in IntelliJ (Preview)
The [outline feature](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/codeassist/chat-gemini.md.txt#outline) automatically
creates AI-assisted documentation by generating short, English summaries of code
blocks within the **Outline** tab of the Gemini Code Assist plugin. Outlines
help developers to achieve rapid understanding and to focus on abstraction,
without getting bogged down by syntactical details.
You can [change the settings](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/codeassist/chat-gemini.md.txt#outline-settings)
to disable automatic outline generation, which instead lets you generate
outlines of files manually.

Leverage the power of Gemini CLI extensions in VS Code Gemini Code Assist agent
mode with the `/deploy` custom slash command. The `/deploy` command lets you deploy
your existing web application to Cloud Run directly from agent mode. `/deploy`
takes care of what used to be a multi-step process of building, containerizing,
pushing, and configuring, and then returns a public URL for your live
application.
To get started using the `/deploy` command, create a web application
in your workspace, install the
[Cloud Run MCP server](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-run-mcp),
turn on agent mode, and then type `/deploy`. Your app is deployed in minutes and
accessible through a public URL. For more information, see
[Use commands](https://docs.cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/codeassist/use-agentic-chat-pair-programmer.md.txt#use-commands).

VERSION_UNSPECIFIED Announcement [Duet AI](https://cloud.google.com/duet-ai/docs), an AI-powered collaborator in Google Cloud, is [Generally available](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages). The Generally available release includes the following:
- [Duet AI for Developers](https://cloud.google.com/duet-ai/docs/discover/developers) is [Generally available](https://cloud.google.com/products#product-launch-stages).
- The Duet AI pane in [VSCode](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/vscode/write-code-duet-ai), [JetBrains](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/intellij/write-code-duet-ai), [Cloud Workstations](https://cloud.google.com/workstations/docs/write-code-duet-ai) and [Cloud Shell Editor](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/shell/write-code-duet-ai) uses an improved model with higher accuracy and more complete responses.
- In [VSCode](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/vscode/write-code-duet-ai), a sign-in expiration issue for Duet AI has been fixed.
- In [VSCode](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/vscode/write-code-duet-ai) and [JetBrains](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/intellij/write-code-duet-ai) IDEs, you can enable Duet AI entirely from the IDE instead of visiting the Google Cloud console.
- In [VSCode](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/vscode/write-code-duet-ai) and [JetBrains](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/intellij/write-code-duet-ai) IDEs, improved filtering and sorting reduces the amount of generated code that contains only comments.
- Improved logic for defining the final code completion token. This resolves issues where extra closing brackets were suggested and where lines of code broken in the middle were returned.
- In [JetBrains](https://cloud.google.com/code/docs/intellij/write-code-duet-ai) IDEs, Duet AI cancels code generation when the user changes the code position before a response is returned. This ensures generated code isn't rendered in the wrong place.
