Google's Jules Enters Developers' Toolchains As AI Coding Agent Competition Heats Up
Saturday October 4, 2025. 02:02 AM , from Slashdot
![]() 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. 'We want to reduce context switching for developers as much as possible,' Kathy Korevec, director of product at Google Labs, told TechCrunch. Jules differs from Gemini CLI in that it focuses on 'scoped,' independent tasks rather than requiring iterative collaboration. Once a user approves a plan, Jules executes it autonomously, while the CLI needs more step-by-step guidance. Jules also has a public API for workflow and IDE integration, plus features like memory, a stacked diff viewer, PR comment handling, and image uploads -- capabilities not present in the CLI. Gemini CLI is limited to terminals and CI/CD pipelines and is better suited for exploratory, highly interactive use. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
