One Big Story: Google’s Gemini Code Assist is Now Free for Developers

Big news for anyone who writes code: Google just made its AI-powered coding assistant, Gemini Code Assist, free for individual developers. Whether you’re a student, freelancer, or just someone tinkering with code in your free time, you now have access to an AI coding assistant with industry-leading usage limits—far beyond what other free tools offer.

What’s Happening?

• AI is rapidly changing how developers work, and Google isn’t just observing the shift—they’re driving it. More than 25% of Google’s own new code is AI-generated, and now they’re making those same AI-powered tools available to everyone. Gemini Code Assist helps with:

• Code completion & generation – Write, modify, and debug code in real-time.

• AI-powered code reviews – Get automated feedback and suggestions within GitHub.

• Massive usage limits – Unlike other free coding assistants, which are capped at 2,000 completions per month, Gemini offers up to 180,000—which is basically unlimited for most developers.

• Broad support – Works with all programming languages in the public domain and integrates with Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, Firebase, and Android Studio.

My Take: AI coding assistants are becoming the default for modern developers, and Google just made it easier than ever to hop on board. If you’re writing code without AI now, you probably spend way more time on the tedious parts than you need to. This is a major win for indie devs and startups who now get pro-level AI coding help—for free.

Cool Tech: Trello’s New AI Update Turns It Into the Ultimate Task Inbox

Trello just released a major update that aims to simplify task management across different apps. Instead of forcing users to juggle Slack messages, emails, and random notes scattered across different platforms, Trello now acts as a universal inbox where everything can be captured, organized, and completed.

The key change? A new Inbox column that allows you to quickly dump tasks from anywhere—whether it’s forwarding an email, saving a Slack message, or even using Siri to dictate a to-do. Trello then automatically summarizes the task, assigns relevant due dates, and adds subtasks, so you don’t have to manually sort through everything later. The goal is to capture tasks as quickly and effortlessly as possible.

In addition to Inbox, Trello is rolling out a new calendar view called Trello Planner. This view helps users schedule their tasks directly onto a calendar—perfect for anyone who follows the time-blocking productivity method. Tasks added in Trello will sync with your calendar as events, making it easier to stay on top of your workload.

While other productivity apps try to integrate more features, Trello is taking the opposite approach: it’s focused on bringing everything into one place and simplifying task management. This update is currently in beta, with a full rollout expected in April. Trello’s Head of Product, Guarav Kataria, says the goal is to return to Trello’s original mission—helping individual users stay productive, rather than building yet another overcomplicated project management tool.
