The Enterprise Differentiator

Code Customization is the flagship Enterprise-only feature. The model learns from your private repositories to provide suggestions based on:

Your actual internal APIs and SDKs
Your team's exact naming and coding conventions
Your real database schemas and data models
Your specific error handling and architecture patterns

How to Use Code Customization

Index repositories (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) in Enterprise settings
Configure which repos to include
In chat: @REPO_NAME What's the pattern for creating a new service?
Get suggestions grounded in your actual codebase

Standard Edition: Key Extras Over Free

All Standard integrations are within Google Cloud services:

Firebase: Chat AI, crash analysis, messaging campaign insights, schema generation
BigQuery Studio: Data insights, natural language to SQL
Colab Enterprise: Python code generation in notebooks
Cloud Run: Deployment assistance
Database Studio: Generate SQL, optimize queries, explain existing queries

Pricing

Individual edition is free. Standard and Enterprise are billed per seat — see Google Cloud pricing for current rates.
