Google Jules: free alternative to Codex with 5 tasks per day

Post Thumbnail

Google has introduced Jules — a universal programming assistant based on artificial intelligence. Which directly integrates with GitHub workflows. The new tool creates complete codebases and checks their functionality in a cloud virtual machine before sending changes.

One of the main advantages of Jules is its pricing policy. Unlike the competing product Codex from OpenAI, which costs $200 per month, Jules offers 5 tasks daily for all users for free. This significantly reduces the entry threshold for developers wishing to use artificial intelligence in their work.

Jules’ functionality is impressive. It connects to GitHub and creates pull requests. Runs existing tests or writes new ones. Checks code functionality in a virtual machine. And shares with the developer its action plan, explanation of decisions, and code differences. Soon it will be possible to assign tasks to Jules directly through GitHub, adding the label “assign-to-jules” to an issue.

It also creates an audio summary of the changes made, helping to quickly understand the essence of the edits without having to read all the code. I am really surprised!!! Jules works based on the latest Gemini 2.5 Pro model, which should ensure high quality of generated code and analysis.

The beta version is already available to developers on the jules.google website. Link in the description.

Jules is capable of writing entire codebases, running tests, and checking functionality in a virtual machine. Well, a worthy response from Google to the appearance of Codex from OpenAI.
