New Delhi: Google has brought its AI-powered coding assistant called Studio Bot to India, along with other countries.
Google’s Studio Bot offering to Android developers in the US was rolled out in May this year.
“Studio Bot is available in more than 170 countries and territories, with support for the English language,” the company said in an update.
Google’s Studio Bot helps developers build apps by generating code, fixing errors, and answering questions about Android.
“We’ll gradually expand to more countries and territories in a way that is consistent with local regulations and our AI principles,” Google added.
This is a conversational experience in Android Studio that helps you be more productive by answering Android development queries.
It’s powered by AI and can understand natural language, so “you can ask development questions in plain English”.
Google cautioned that developers must always double-check Studio Bot’s responses and carefully test and review code for errors, bugs, and vulnerabilities before relying on it.
“Google Studio Bot’s new capabilities can help you by offering new ways to write code, create test cases, or update APIs, according to the company.
It is based on an large language model (Codey, based on PaLM-2) very much like Bard.
Codey was trained specifically for coding scenarios. It seamlessly integrates this LLM inside the Android Studio IDE “to provide you with a lot more functionality such as one-click actions and links to relevant documentation”.
The new AI-powered coding tool comes as part of Google’s continued push into AI, after Bard.
