"Until now, Jules - Google's asynchronous coding agent - was only accessible via its website and GitHub. On Thursday, the company introduced Jules Tools, a command-line interface that brings Jules directly into the developer's terminal. The CLI lets developers interact with the agent using commands, streamlining workflows by eliminating the need to switch between the web interface and GitHub. It allows them to stay within their environment while delegating coding tasks and validating results."
"Google already offers Gemini CLI, an AI-based command-line tool that works across developer environments like terminals and CI/CD pipelines. Both Gemini CLI and Jules use Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model under the hood. However, Korevec told TechCrunch that Jules Tools is designed for "very scoped tasks," while Gemini CLI requires users to be "a lot more iterative" and to "collaborate a lot more with the tool.""
Google introduced Jules Tools, a command-line interface that embeds the Jules asynchronous coding agent directly into developer terminals, allowing interaction via commands and reducing context switching. The CLI streamlines workflows by removing the need to switch between a web interface and GitHub, enabling developers to delegate coding tasks and validate results within their environment. Jules and Gemini CLI both run on Gemini 2.5 Pro, but Jules is built for very scoped tasks and executes plans independently once approved, while Gemini CLI is more iterative and collaborative. Google also launched a public Jules API to let teams extend the agent into CI/CD systems, Slack, and existing workflows.
