Jules
Google's asynchronous coding agent. Point it at a GitHub repo, it clones to a cloud VM, plans with Gemini, and opens a pull request. Tiered plans from 15 to 300 tasks per day.
Jules is Google's autonomous coding agent for delegating routine development work: bug fixes, version bumps, tests, and feature building. The workflow is fully asynchronous - you pick a GitHub repository and branch, write a prompt, and Jules clones the repo to a cloud VM, develops a plan with Gemini, then hands back a reviewable diff and opens a pull request for approval. The base tier runs on Gemini 2.5 Pro with 15 tasks per day and 3 concurrent tasks, while Pro and Ultra tiers add Gemini 3 Pro access and scale to 100 and 300 daily tasks with up to 60 running concurrently. It occupies the same cloud-async lane as Codex cloud tasks and Copilot Coding Agent, and it is the natural pick if your team is already on the Gemini stack.
