Google’s AI coding agent Jules is now out of beta

Google on Wednesday launched its AI coding agent, 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 virtual machines, and uses AI to fix or update code while developers focus on other tasks.

Google initially announced Jules as a Google Labs project in December and made it available to beta testers through a public preview at its I/O developer conference.

Kathy Korevec, director of product at Google Labs, told TechCrunch that the tool’s improved stability drove the decision to take it out of beta after receiving hundreds of UI and quality updates during its beta phase.

“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,” she said.

With the wider rollout, Google introduced structured pricing tiers for Jules, starting with an “introductory access” free plan capped at 15 individual daily tasks and three concurrent ones, down from the 60-task limit during beta. Jules’ paid tiers are part of the Google AI Pro and Ultra plans, which are priced at $19.99 and $124.99 a month, and offer subscribers 5× and 20× higher limits, respectively.

Korevec noted that Jules’ packaging and pricing are based on “real usage” insights gathered over the past couple of months.

“The 60-task cap helped us study how developers use Jules and gave us the information we needed to design the new packaging,” she said. “The 15/day is designed to give people a sense of whether Jules will work for them on real project tasks.”

Google also updated Jules’ privacy policy to be more explicit about how it trains AI. If a repository is public, its data may be used for training, but if it is private, Korevec said that no data is sent.

“We got a little bit of feedback from users that it [the privacy policy] wasn’t as clear as we thought it was, and so we’re most of it is just responding to that. We didn’t change anything about what we’re doing on the trai …
