Google has launched Jules, a coding agent designed to automate tasks such as bug fixing, documentation, and testing. This new tool enters public beta and is available globally, giving developers the chance to have AI file pull requests on their behalf. Jules leverages Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro model and offers a starter tier with five free tasks per day, positioning it as a direct competitor to GitHub Copilot's coding agent and OpenAI's Codex.
Jules differentiates itself by spinning up a disposable Cloud VM, cloning the target repository, and creating a multi-step plan before making changes to any files. The agent can handle tasks like bumping dependencies, refactoring code, adding documentation, writing tests, and addressing open issues. Each change is presented as a standard GitHub pull request for human review. Google emphasizes that Jules "understands your codebase" due to the multimodal Gemini model, which allows it to reason over large file graphs and project history.
The release of Jules in beta signifies a broader shift from code-completion tools to full agentic development. Jules is available to anyone with a Google account and a linked GitHub account, and tasks can be assigned directly from an issue using the assign-to-jules label. This move reflects the increasing trend of AI-assisted programming and automated agents in software development, with both Google and Microsoft vying for dominance in this growing market.
