Trying out Jules, a coding agent from Google that is similar to Claude Code. But it's all hosted: you use a web UI to talk to it, it checks out code from GitHub and runs it in containers. And it operates asynchronously, you give it tasks and it comes back 5-15 minutes later with work done. I like it quite a bit, but there's a question whether the Gemini models are as good for coding as Claude.
Jules - Proactive Coding Agent by Google

Jules is your proactive coding agent by Google. Delegate your backlog, set up automated tasks, and let Jules proactively find and fix code improvements while you focus on what matters.

@nelson Have you tried invoking it from Gemini CLI yet? Jules on the web is great in a lot of ways, but depending on your workflow, you can have the CLI build multiple Jules sessions that run simultaneously.

Example would be a change that touches multiple parts of your codebase, especially if the changes don’t need to be done sequentially. I’ve had Gemini CLI build out detailed plans, then kick off 3-4 Jules sessions itself. Once they’re done, the CLI can pull down the patches from those sessions and apply them locally for you. It’s awesome!
