United Kingdom, Aug. 10 -- Google has announced that its AI-powered coding assistant Jules is now available to the public.

Previously available in limited preview, Jules is an asynchronous coding agent" designed to help developers build and debug software without the need for continuous back-and-forth.

Users submit a coding task, and Jules works independently in the background, writing, testing and iterating before returning a detailed response.

Google says Jules is designed to "go beyond autocomplete" by breaking tasks into subtasks and using tools like code execution, web search and documentation lookup.

The assistant has been in development for over a year and was built using Google's Gemini AI models.
