Google has announced significant upgrades to its AI coding agent, Jules, by introducing a command-line interface (CLI) and a public API. These enhancements allow developers to integrate Jules directly into their existing workflows, minimizing the need to switch between different platforms. The CLI is designed for specific coding tasks, making it less interactive than Google's Gemini CLI, which requires more collaboration. Additionally, Jules now features memory capabilities to track user interactions and preferences. Google is also exploring ways to reduce Jules' reliance on GitHub, aiming for compatibility with other code hosting services. The tool is primarily used by software engineers, but some users are experimenting with it in more casual coding environments. Jules is available under structured pricing tiers, including a free plan with limited daily tasks.
