"Google Labs is expanding its AI programming assistant Jules with features that increase its practical application. These include Jules Tools, a command-line interface, and an API that allows the assistant to be integrated into existing systems and workflows. Jules is designed as a digital programming colleague that can help generate code, fix bugs, write tests, and improve performance. Whereas the assistant has mainly worked via a chat interface until now, Jules Tools will enable developers to work with the AI directly in their terminal."
"The API offers even more flexibility because Jules can be linked to existing development processes. For example, the assistant can automatically take action as soon as a bug is reported in Slack or when a build in a CI/CD pipeline gets stuck. When Jules was introduced earlier this year, Google emphasized that the agent runs on Gemini 2.5 Pro and is capable of working asynchronously. This means that developers can set tasks, shut down their laptops, and retrieve the results later,"
Jules now includes Jules Tools, a command-line interface, and an API to embed the assistant into existing systems and workflows. Jules functions as a digital programming colleague that generates code, fixes bugs, writes tests, improves performance, and operates asynchronously on Gemini 2.5 Pro. The API enables automation such as responding to Slack bug reports or stalled CI/CD builds. Jules can clone repositories in a virtual cloud environment to perform independent operations. Recent beta usage showed frequent delegation of repetitive tasks like dependency updates and test-generation. New features add reliability, lower latency, file selectors, memory for preferences, and structured environment variable management.
