Google announced new tools on October 2, 2025, that make its AI coding agent, Jules, more integrated into developers daily tasks. Instead of only working inside an IDE, Jules is now accessible via "Jules Tools"—a lightweight command-line interface (CLI)—and a public preview of its API. This allows developers to call the agent directly from their terminal to perform tasks like writing tests, fixing bugs, or refactoring code with a single command. The API, in turn, opens up the possibility of embedding Jules into third-party tools: continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) systems for automated code reviews, workplace messengers like Slack for quick fixes, and other custom scripts. This move aims to transform Jules from a simple "coding assistant" into a fully automated team member that can participate in various stages of the software development lifecycle.
