The AI agent aims to support engineers throughout the entire coding process, assisting with tasks, coding, and documentation, potentially streamlining workflows for software teams. ‘The Information’ also reported that Google has been showcasing this AI agent, along with other products, to select employees and external developers ahead of the event.
