Meet Jules by Google: Your Asynchronous Coding Partner

Jules

Google introduced Jules a next-generation AI coding assistant designed to work like a real developer. Originally launched as an experiment in Google Labs, Jules is now available in public beta worldwide, wherever Gemini is supported no waitlist is required.

What Is Jules?

Jules isn’t just another code-completion tool. It’s an asynchronous, intelligent coding agent that understands your project and gets actual work done from writing tests to building features and fixing bugs.

Jules securely clones your repository into a private Google Cloud virtual machine, giving it the full context of your codebase. It can,

  • Write tests
  • Build and extend features
  • Fix bugs
  • Update dependencies
  • Generate audio summaries of commits

Work

How does Jules work?

Jules runs in the background, letting you stay focused while it takes care of development tasks. Once a task is done, it shares a clear plan, the reasoning behind the changes, and a diff of all edits made keeping you in full control.

Key Features of Jules

  • Works on Real Projects: Jules doesn’t use mock environments. It works directly in your actual codebase.
  • Runs on Cloud VMs: Each task runs inside a secure VM with the ability to process multiple requests at once.
  • GitHub Integration: Works directly with your GitHub repositories no switching platforms or extra setup.
  • Adjustable Plans: Review and modify the plan before, during, or after the task runs.
  • Audio Changelogs: Get summaries of your recent commits that you can listen to, helping you stay up to speed.
