Jules, remote coding agent from Google Labs, announces API

Summary

Introducing the Jules API October 3, 2025 You can now programmatically access Jules’s capabilities to automate your work and build powerful integrations. The Jules API is designed to help you seamlessly integrate Jules into your existing development workflows, unlocking new ways to automate and enhance the entire software development lifecycle. With the API, you can: Create custom integrations with tools like Slack for “ChatOps” workflows, allowing you to assign tasks directly from your chat client. Automate bug fixing and feature implementation by connecting Jules to your project management tools like Linear or Jira. Integrate Jules directly into your CI/CD pipelines in services like GitHub Actions. Here’s a quick example of how to create a new task (a “Session”) using a cURL command: curl 'https://jules.googleapis.com/v1alpha/sessions' \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H 'X-Goog-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \ "prompt": "Create a boba app!", "source": "sources/github/bobalover/boba", For more examples see the API documentation. Jules in the command line October 2, 2025 We’re launching Jules Tools, a new command-line interface designed to give you direct control over your AI coding agent, making it scriptable, customizable, and easy to integrate into your existing workflows. Key Features: Direct Control: Create tasks (jules remote new), list active sessions (jules remote list), and monitor Jules without leaving your command line. Apply Patches Locally: Instantly pull work-in-progress code from an active Jules session and apply it to your local machine. This lets you test changes immediately, without waiting for a commit to GitHub. Scriptable & Composable: Integrate Jules into your automations by piping in output from other tools like gh, jq, or cat. Interactive Dashboard: For a more guided experience, launch the built-in terminal user interface (TUI) to create and manage tasks step-by-step. How to Install: Install globally via npm: npm install -g @google/jules Or r...
