Google’s Jules Coding Agent Hits Public Beta With Asynchronous Powers and GitHub Integration

Google has launched Jules, its autonomous coding agent, into public beta. First teased in December 2024 through Google Labs, Jules now rolls out globally, free to use with no waitlist.

Jules connects directly to your GitHub repo. It pulls your full codebase into a secure Google Cloud VM, analyzes the context, and gets to work. It can build features, fix bugs, write tests, update dependencies, and even generate audio changelogs.

It works asynchronously. You assign tasks, it handles them in the background, and then returns with a plan, explanation, and code diff. You stay in control with options to approve or edit its actions at any stage.

Built on Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, Jules handles multi-file changes and concurrent tasks with speed. It doesn’t train on private code, and all data stays isolated in the cloud VM.

You can manage tasks through a dedicated panel, steer Jules’ output mid-task, and listen to commit logs. It’s all live inside your existing GitHub workflow—no setup headaches.
