So, remember Google’s AI coding agent Jules? The one chilling on GitHub and a website?
Well, Jules just packed its bags and moved straight into developer workflows. And honestly? Power move.
Here’s what’s new:
Google launched Jules tools, a command-line interface and a public API. That means developers can now call Jules directly from their terminal, CI/CD pipelines, or even Slack — without bouncing between tabs like they're juggling ten side quests.
Now, Google already has Gemini CLI, so why bother with Jules? Think of it like this:
Gemini is that chatty teammate who wants a brainstorming session.
Jules? More like the coworker who takes your task list, says “got it,” and delivers.
Clean, scoped, less small talk.
And with the API open, devs can hack Jules into IDEs like VS Code or spin up their own integrations. Plus, Google’s been stacking features, including: memory to recall past work, cleaner diff views, PR comment handling.
But the real tea? Google is quietly nudging Jules beyond GitHub, testing how AI agents can live anywhere — not just tied to one repo. And with Copilot, Claude, and others fighting for a spot in devs’ daily grind, the race is getting spicy.
Right now, Jules is free for 15 individual tasks and three concurrent tasks a day
And yes, Google’s hyping plenty more features—so if you think this might be your thing, check out the details here.
