Google has launched "AI chat" in "Google for Developers." Developers can access "Side Panel Chat" at Google developer's page.

Google's developer AI chat feature is intended to help developers code better or fix common issues. But it also answers business-related questions like SEO, ranking, etc.

"Side Panel Chat" is available in selected regions. It is available in multiple languages.

Developer Profile is a Must for Side Panel Chat:

You must have an active Google developer profile to access the "Side Panel Chat" feature.

It is super easy to create.

  • Go to Developers.google.com and sign up with your Gmail account.

Google's "Side Panel Chat" offers personalized responses. It is also a great place to display your badges and achievements.

Side Panel Chat Answer Any Question:

"Side Panel Chat" answers developer questions and questions related to business, SEO, marketing, ranking, etc.

But for some queries, you will get no results.

I have tested that.

When I asked "how to start a lifestyle blog," it gave an error result with "I'm sorry, but I can only answer about Google Developer topics."

But when I searched "how to rank in search," it displayed the detailed answer with the "source."

Where is the "Side Panel Chat" button?

The "Side Panel Chat" AI feature button is available on the sidebar of the development page.

Side Panel Chat with Limits:

Side Panel Chat provides limited answers. It is strictly limited to developer-related questions only. For anything else, it gives an error response: "I'm sorry, but I can only answer about Google Developer topics."

Conclusion:

The Google developer's "Side Panel Chat" feature is in beta. It is expected to provide limited answers or off-topic answers because of testing mode. Google is collecting developer's feedback to improve AI chat features.
