"It had to happen. OpenAI has a command line interface (CLI) called Codex CLI. Anthropic's Claude Code is a CLI coding agent. Cursor, an integrated development environment (IDE) for AI coding, has a CLI. Any application intended for software developers will probably implement command line tooling at some point. Jiahao Cai, staff software engineer at Google Labs, and AK Kulkarni, product manager at Google Labs, said as much in their blog post announcing Jules Tools."
""Until today, you've primarily interacted with Jules in your web browser, but we know developers live in the terminal. It's where we test, build, debug, and ship," they said. "That's why we built Jules Tools, a lightweight command line interface, so you can spin up tasks, inspect what Jules is doing, and make the agent your own, all without leaving your workflow.""
Google introduced Jules Tools, a lightweight command-line interface that embeds the Jules asynchronous coding agent into developer terminals. Jules uses Google's Gemini model to scan code repositories, fix bugs, and write tests autonomously. Competing offerings already include OpenAI's Codex CLI, Anthropic's Claude Code, and Cursor's CLI, reflecting an industry trend toward terminal-first developer tooling. Jules Tools enables spinning up tasks, inspecting agent activity, and customizing agent behavior without leaving existing workflows. A user report described running Jules on an Electron-based RSS reader that threw an unhandled promise rejection originating from the renderer process.
