Google Jules
Google's asynchronous Gemini coding agent that works in a cloud VM and opens PRs.
Jules is Google's autonomous coding agent for tasks such as bug fixes, version bumps, tests and features. Users pick a GitHub repository and branch and write a prompt, or add the 'jules' label to an issue; Jules clones the repo into a cloud VM, drafts a plan with Gemini, shows a diff for approval and then creates a pull request. Plans range from 15 tasks/day with 3 concurrent tasks up to 300 tasks/day with 60 concurrent tasks on the Ultra tier.
