Jules is Google’s advanced AI-powered coding agent, now in public beta and available globally wherever Gemini models are supported. Unlike traditional code-completion tools, Jules operates as a fully autonomous agent: it clones your codebase into a secure Google Cloud virtual machine (VM), deeply understands project context, and independently executes complex coding tasks. These include writing tests, building new features, fixing bugs, updating dependencies, and generating audio changelogs. Jules integrates directly with GitHub, allowing developers to assign tasks and review plans, reasoning, and code diffs at every stage. It operates asynchronously, so users can focus on other work while Jules completes assignments in the background. Privacy is central—Jules does not train on private code, and all data remains isolated within its execution environment. The tool leverages Gemini 2.5 Pro for advanced reasoning and multi-file changes, and is designed to accelerate software development by shifting from code suggestions to agentic, hands-off automation.
