Google has officially taken its AI coding assistant Jules out of beta, just over two months after its public preview debut in May.

Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro, Jules is an asynchronous, agent-based coding tool that integrates with GitHub, clones codebases into Google Cloud VMs, and uses AI to fix or update code while developers focus on other work. Unlike synchronous AI coding tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, and Lovable, Jules can run tasks in the background — letting developers “kick off” work and return later to completed results.

First introduced as a Google Labs project in December, Jules gained hundreds of UI and quality updates during its beta phase. Kathy Korevec, director of product at Google Labs, said improved stability drove the decision to launch now:

“The trajectory of where we’re going gives us a lot of confidence that Jules is around and going to be around for the long haul.”

New Pricing & Access

With the full launch, Jules now has structured pricing tiers:

Free “Introductory Access” plan — 15 daily tasks, three concurrent (down from 60 during beta)
Google AI Pro — $19.99/month, 5× higher limits
Google AI Ultra — $124.99/month, 20× higher limits

Korevec said the new limits are based on real usage patterns observed during beta testing.

Privacy Updates

Google also clarified Jules’ privacy policy:

Public repos may be used for training
Private repos are never sent for training
The change was to improve clarity, not policy.

Features Added Since Beta

Beta feedback led to new capabilities, including:

Reusing previous setups for faster execution
GitHub issue integration
Multimodal input support
Automatic pull request creation
Environment Snapshots for saving dependencies and install scripts

During beta, thousands of developers completed tens of thousands of tasks, resulting in 140,000+ public code improvements.

Usage Insights

2.28M visits during beta, 45% from mobile
Top markets: India, U.S., Vietnam
Growing use on mobile web (no dedicated app yet)
Now works with empty repositories, expanding appeal beyond existing codebases

Google itself is using Jules internally, with plans to expand its role across more projects.

As Korevec sums up:

“Jules operates like an extra set of hands … you can close your computer, walk away, and come back hours later to find the work done.”

If you want, I can also make you a shorter, more social-media-friendly version of this rewrite so it’s punchy for LinkedIn or Twitter. That would highlight the key differentiators of Jules and the most exciting new features.
