Google wants its coding assistant, Jules, to be far more integrated into developers’ terminals than ever. The company wants to make it a more workflow-native tool, hoping that more people will use it beyond the chat interface. Jules will gain two new features: a Jules API to facilitate integration with IDEs and a Jules Tools CLI, allowing the agent to be opened directly on the command line. Through Jules CLI and API, Google said enterprises will get “more control and flexibility by where and how you can use Jules.” Developers can install Jules Tools via npm, which will then print a guide on how to use it. While in the CLI, an engineer or coder can use the code Command to prompt Jules to do a task, and the code Flag will customize it. For example, this string, Jules –theme light, will switch to light mode. On the API side, enterprises can connect the Jules API to other platforms they use. They can connect it to Slack, for example, so that some team members can trigger tasks directly from Slack if a bug is reported there, which will then tap their CI/CD pipeline. Google also added other updates to help reduce latency and fix some environment and file system issues. These include: File selector to call out specific files in chat to add context; Memory, which gives Jules the ability to remember preferences going forward; Environment Variables management that gives Jules access to these variables while executing a task.
