Google’s AI-powered coding agent, Jules, is officially out of beta. The service, which is designed to integrate directly with GitHub, was first announced in December 2024 as a Google Labs project. It then made the jump to beta testers in May, after Google showcased it during I/O 2025. Now, after a few more months in the hands of beta testers, Google has officially rolled out Jules to paying customers.
The AI coding tool is being offered at multiple price points, including a free plan capped at 15 individual daily tasks and three concurrent tasks. Additionally, there are also paid options that offer subscribers more daily and concurrent tasks– though those are tied behind Google’s AI Pro and Ultra plans, which range from $124.99 to $199.99 a month.
Jules is far from Google’s only option for coding, as Gemini already supports it, and the company recently debuted Opal, a vibe-coding app. What makes Jules particularly intriguing, though, is that Google representatives told News that the tech giant plans to use Jules in more of its own internal coding projects.
Asynchronous code development
Aside from Google’s own faith in its product, what makes Jules stand out above some other coding tools available on the AI market right now is the fact that it works asynchronously with developers. The tool takes your existing database, then clones it and puts it on a Google Cloud machine. From there, Jules can work seamlessly on your code without actually affecting your database until you’re ready for it. Considering some of the concerns we’ve seen around AI coding tools — like the AI app that deleted an user’s entire database — Jules should provide a bit more security for existing code, as it isn’t working directly on your live systems.
Of course, as with anything powered by AI, there are always checks and balances that you’ll want to keep in place to ensure you don’t lose any work. Plus, with hackers finding ways to use prompt injections to hack AI, there are other concerns to keep in mind, too.
Still, the fact that Google plans to use Jules as a primary resource for coding within its own internal teams means that the tool holds some merit for developers that are looking to start embracing AI-powered tools. And now that it’s openly available as part of Google’s AI plans, there’s no reason not to give it a try if you’re interested.
