Google Expands Jules AI Coding Tools with CLI and API
Google introduces Jules Tools CLI and Jules API for integrating its AI coding agent into developer workflows.
Published: Oct 02, 2025
Google has expanded the capabilities of Jules, its AI-powered coding agent, with two major releases: Jules Tools (a lightweight command-line interface) and early access to the Jules API.
Jules Tools: CLI Integration
The new Jules Tools CLI allows developers to interact with Jules directly in their terminal, enabling task management alongside regular commands. This bridges the gap between conversational AI assistance and practical workflow integration.
Jules API Opens for Integration
The upcoming Jules API will let developers embed Jules into custom systems - from Slack bug triggers to CI/CD pipelines. Google emphasizes this provides "more control and flexibility" for teams building with AI assistance.
Recent Improvements
Google reports recent quality updates including:
- File selector - Pinpoint context in chats
- Memory - Retains user preferences
- Environment Variables - Structured access management
Developers can track all updates via the Jules changelog and share creations on Discord.
Kathy Korevec, Google Labs' Director of Product Management, states: "The future of coding with agents isn't abstract. It's happening now."
