Google develops its own AI-powered code completion tool to rival GitHub Copilot

Google has unveiled its new code editing tool, Studio Bot, at the annual I/O developers’ conference, aimed at competing with GitHub Copilot. The tool can generate and fix code and answer questions related to Android and Google Cloud services. It has been built using the Codey model and PaLM 2 LLM. Studio Bot is set to work with Java and Kotlin, primarily for the Android mobile OS. However, the tool is still in its early days, and Google has said that it will get better with time. US developers will have early access to it in the Canary channel.
