## The brief

Google Earth Engine’s new Ask panel brings Gemini assistance into its Code Editor for writing, explaining, debugging and optimizing geospatial scripts. It uses the active script, imported assets and chat context, and can present proposed changes as a reviewable diff. The feature is available globally with a user-supplied Gemini API key; usage with a paid-tier key is billed accordingly.
