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.
@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!
