We introduced Jules last December in Google Labs as an early glimpse of what a true coding agent could become. Not a co-pilot, not a code-completion sidekick, but an autonomous agent that reads your code, understands your intent, and gets to work.
Today, Jules is entering public beta, available to everyone. No waitlist. Worldwide, everywhere where the Gemini model is available.
What is Jules?
Jules is an asynchronous, agentic coding assistant that integrates directly with your existing repositories. It clones your codebase into a secure Google Cloud virtual machine (VM), understands the full context of your project, and performs tasks such as:
Writing testsBuilding new featuresProviding audio changelogsFixing bugsBumping dependency versions
Jules operates asynchronously, allowing you to focus on other tasks while it works in the background. Upon completion, it presents its plan, reasoning and a diff of the changes made. Jules is private by default, it doesn’t train on your private code, and your data stays isolated within the execution environment.
