Jules: Google’s AI Coding Assistant Launches Publicly with Gemini 2.5
Google’s AI-powered coding assistant, Jules, has officially graduated from beta and is now available to the public, boasting significant upgrades and new features. Powered by Gemini 2.5, Jules aims to streamline coding tasks for developers, offering advanced planning, higher usage limits, and improved integration with popular development tools.
From Beta to Public Launch: What’s New?
During its beta phase, Jules saw thousands of developers tackle tens of thousands of tasks, resulting in over 140,000 code improvements shared publicly. This extensive feedback loop allowed Google to:
- Polish the user interface for a smoother experience
- Fix hundreds of bugs
- Launch new capabilities, including:
- Reusing previous setups for faster task execution
- GitHub issues integration
- Multimodal support
Powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro
Jules now leverages the advanced thinking capabilities of Gemini 2.5 Pro to develop more sophisticated coding plans. This upgrade promises higher-quality code outputs, making Jules a more reliable partner for developers tackling complex projects.
New Structured Tiers and Usage Limits
To cater to different user needs, Google has introduced structured tiers for Jules, each with varying usage limits:
- Introductory Access: Perfect for getting to know Jules across your projects.
- Google AI Pro: 5x higher limits, ideal for daily coding tasks.
- Google AI Ultra: 20x higher limits, designed for intensive, multi-agent workflows at scale.
These changes are rolling out today to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers, including eligible college students who can sign up for access. Specific usage limits are detailed on Google’s official site.
