Unhinged AI hacker at @GoogleLabs. I write the code that makes @julesagent write your code.

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

This is indeed how we roll. You should all be excited to see what's coming

[David East @_davideast]

The culture at @GoogleLabs is unreal.

I pitched an idea. Coworker: "Cool, let's build it." <immediately opens laptop>. We were testing it in under an hour.

This bias for action is everything.

@love_in_seoul_ I’m visiting and would LOVE to go to see Cory tonight, but it’s sold out 😭 If there’s any way to get tickets, waitlist is ok, let me know!

With the new Jules extension, you can now use the Gemini CLI to orchestrate the Jules asynchronous agent to perform coding tasks remotely.

Jules works asynchronously, letting you stay focused in the Gemini CLI on the code that matters most to you → https://t.co/rGAlAt1udc

Not exactly how I was imagining joining the Tres Commas Club, but I'll take it! 🚀😄

[Josh Woodward @joshwoodward]

Crossed 1,000,000,000 lines of code written by @julesagent last night 🎉

[Kath Korevec @simpsoka]

Somewhere out there, the billionth line of code was written by Jules this morning. Thanks to everyone for pushing what's possible with us!! @julesagent

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

This was a fun one! A quick 10-line changelist and boom, the cannons are ablaze!

[Jules @julesagent]

Ahoy! 🏴‍☠️ We’ve shipped a temporary patch to Jules... an eyepatch, that is.

For International Talk Like a Pirate Day, your AI coding agent is ready to help ye navigate the high seas of your codebase.

Go on, talk to Jules and see what happens! #TalkLikeAPirateDay

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

Arrr, me lips be sealed! I can't say aye or nay if such a treasure exists. 🏴‍☠️

[🚨 AI News | TestingCatalog @testingcatalog]

Google is working on a Pirate mode!

Jules will be able to "speak as a pirate" during the conversation.

Or during the Codecast? 👀

No prey, no pay!

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

Fantastic summary Franziska!

[Franziska Hinkelmann, PhD @fhinkel]

Confused about why you'd use @julesagent or Gemini CLI or both? Confuse no more! https://t.co/BDBeg0flT9

@sambecker @Cr0c0d1 @julesagent @amandazhang2025 😂

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

Now you know why I don't get much sleep 🛌 - too busy pushing the frontier!

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

What a week! 😅 This one was fun - I started calling it "AK Mode" since it was @itsakdev 's idea. I retrofitted the name when people asked to say "it's because it asks a ton of annoyingly detailed questions...". This is a fun team. And AK, you're just awesome, not annoying! 🤪

[Jules @julesagent]

We had a fun week this week. One more ship.

Meet Interactive Plan.

Jules will now read your codebase, ask clarifying questions, and work with you to refine the plan. This collaborative approach gives you more opportunities to articulate your goals and ensures you're on the same page, leading to higher-quality code and a more reliable solution.

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

My awesome friend and new Jules hire @suyash_builds shipped this kickass feature set in record time 🚀

With his excellent product sense and user focus I feel compelled to share this nice portrait I took the other day:

[Jules @julesagent]

Want to see your front-end changes live? Jules can now run and render your web application, then send you screenshots to verify the changes.

Plus, you can add links to a public image for visual context in any task.

@jedborovik 👀

[🇺🇦 Alex Polozov @Skiminok]

Bar charts are hard! I asked @julesagent (powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro) to make a proper bar chart.
It... just kidding, it one-shotted the task from my phone while I was packing a vacation bag 😛

[Jules @julesagent]

Jules now supports Bun as a JavaScript runtime. If your project uses Bun instead of Node, it’ll just work, no extra setup needed. Read more about the Jules environment! https://t.co/FbhnQy3Nqa

🚨 NEW LABS EXPERIMENT 🚨

Introducing Doppl, a new mobile app that lets you upload a photo or screenshot of an outfit and then creates a video of you wearing the clothes to help you find your ✨aesthetic ✨

Available on iOS and Android in the US to users 18+, download the experiment today and let us know what you think!

@pridiuksson Jules uses Gemini 2.5 Pro, but the system instructions and context matters a lot to the tone and content of the replies. We try to make sure it stays helpful and on track, but we’ll keep tweaking to strike the right balance!

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

Hard to believe it’s only been a month!

[Josh Woodward @joshwoodward]

Happy 1 month bday to Jules!

If you haven't tried it yet, here's the "awesome-list" of prompts: https://t.co/IrxJK9d0RT

[Jules @julesagent]

New Jules agent just dropped.

- Reads https://t.co/gEv0XVVFvK
- Faster runs
- Less punting when it can actually do the thing
- Reliable env setup (if you’ve scripted it)
- Improved test writing & running

Try it out and tell us what you break. Follow along with the full changelog: https://t.co/rl1EnRK7eJ

[Alex @ObscureShoes]

@DemonSynth @julesagent Wow indeed, this isn't the awesomeness we're going for! If you're OK with it Richard, DM me the task ID and I can look into it.
