May 20 News.Google AI ProgrammingAgent Jules Moving into a new phase of development, with the latest opening of a global public beta after a private preview in December 2024, theAny developer with a Google account can now use this AI tool.
1AI cited the official introduction, Jules is not simply a code autocompletion tool, it will start a one-time virtual machine (Cloud VM) in the cloud, clone the target code base, make a detailed multi-step plan, before starting to modify the file.
Whether it's updating dependencies, refactoring code, adding documentation, writing tests, or resolving open issues, Jules can do it all. All changes end up as standard GitHub pull requests, awaiting developer review.
Google says Jules runs on the Gemini 2.5 Pro multimodal model, which analyzes huge file structures and project histories while following codebase-specific contribution guidelines, directly challenging GitHub Copilot and OpenAI's Codex.
Developers can get started by signing in with their GitHub account at jules.google, and with the upcoming "assign-to-jules" tag, users can assign tasks directly from the issue page.
Google is also offering a daily quota of 5 free tasks, with more paid features and enterprise-grade controls expected to roll out later this year.
