Google unveils AI coding assistant ‘Jules,’ promising autonomous bug fixes and faster development cycles
Google launches Jules, an AI coding assistant powered by Gemini 2.0, automating bug fixes and code changes while integrating with GitHub - promising to revolutionize software development by 2025.
The experimental AI-powered code agent, built on Google’s newly announced Gemini 2.0 platform, integrates directly with GitHub’s workflow system and can analyze complex codebases, implement fixes across multiple files, and prepare detailed pull requests without constant human supervision. “Jules presents a suggested plan before taking action, and users can monitor its progress writing code.” The system requires explicit approval before merging any changes, maintaining human oversight of the development process. At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, researchers using Jules and related Google AI tools reduced certain analysis tasks from a week to minutes, allowing them to focus on more complex challenges.
