Google has launched Jules, its AI-powered coding agent, to the general public after months of beta testing. Built on Gemini 2.5 Pro and designed for both developers and non-technical users, Jules aims to democratize coding by helping anyone write, test, and improve code without requiring formal programming experience.
What sets Jules apart: The AI agent can run multiple tasks simultaneously and has been significantly upgraded based on extensive beta feedback.
- During beta testing, users submitted tens of thousands of tasks, resulting in over 140,000 publicly shared code improvements.
- Jules can now reuse past setups, visualize test results, and integrate with GitHub Issues (a popular code management platform) for streamlined development workflows.
- New multimodal support allows Jules to display visual outputs from web applications, letting users see exactly how their code performs in real-time.
Who can benefit: Google is positioning Jules as accessible to anyone interested in automation, app building, or website design, regardless of technical background.
- Casual users can explore Jules through an introductory tier, perfect for side projects or early experimentation.
- Professional developers can access Pro and Ultra tiers with up to 20x more capacity for enterprise or multi-agent workflows.
- The tool runs on Gemini 2.5 Pro, Google’s latest AI model optimized for logical reasoning and advanced planning.
The bigger picture: This release reflects Google’s broader strategy to make Gemini-based agents more accessible across all products, not just developer tools.
- The company is betting on asynchronous, task-oriented AI that executes actions rather than just responding in chat windows.
- As AI assistants become more agentic—capable of planning, taking action, and adapting over time—tools like Jules may become essential beyond software development, extending into business operations, creative work, and personal productivity.
Availability: Jules is now accessible via Google Labs for anyone with a Google account, with free trials available and upgrade options through Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
