Google LLC has officially launched its artificial intelligence coding agent Jules in general availability, following a successful months-long beta testing phase.
Aiming to Help Developers and Beyond
- Developers
- Website design
- App building
- Automation
Though Jules is clearly aimed at developers, Google also thinks it can be helpful for anyone who’s dabbling in tasks such as website design, app building or automation.
The company believes it can be especially powerful for enterprise workers, even if they lack formal coding skills.
Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro
Jules is powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, which is the company’s most advanced and sophisticated large language model, optimized for tasks that require reasoning and advanced planning.
It has the ability to handle multiple tasks at once, in parallel, making it ideal for multistep workflows.
Streamlined User Interface and New Features
It has also been updated, with a more streamlined user interface and new features such as multimodal support, allowing it to display visual outputs from web applications.
In addition, Jules can now reuse past setups, visualize test results and integrate GitHub Issues, creating a more seamless development loop.
Asynchronous Operation and Beta Test Results
According to Google, beta testers submitted hundreds of thousands of tasks to Jules, with more than 140,000 code improvements being shared publicly.
“Jules operates like an extra set of hands. You can basically kick off tasks to it, and then you could close your computer and walk away from it if you want and then come back hours later,”
Kathy Korevec, Google Labs Director of Product
“Jules would have those tasks done for you, versus if you were doing that with a local agent or using a synchronous agent, you would be bound to that session.”
Integration with Other Google Tools
Jules is not the only AI coding tool Google has built.
