Google has opened global beta access to its generative agent for coding called “Jules”. Now, any developer with a Google account can task the AI to create pull requests on GitHub on their behalf, using five free tasks per day. The model operates based on Gemini 2.5 Pro, and access is provided through the jules.google site without waiting in line.
Unlike typical code autocompleters, “Jules” deploys a separate cloud virtual machine, copies the repository, analyzes it, and creates a step-by-step action plan. The model can update dependencies, refactor code, add documentation, write tests, or perform tasks from open issues. Each change is formatted as a standard pull request for further review by the user.
According to Google, “Jules” understands the project structure thanks to the use of the latest multimodal Gemini, which allows it to consider the repository’s history and specific contribution rules. Tasks can be assigned to the agent directly from the issue page using the special assign-to-jules tag.
The service is already available on the Google Labs page and a separate site, and for familiarization or questions, developers can join an AMA session on Discord on May 21 at 22:30 UTC. The launch of “Jules” expands automation capabilities for teams already working with Google Cloud and allows testing the creation of pull requests using AI in just a few clicks.
