[elfin kite]

Welcome to the #jules-general・🦑 channel: Jules is an experimental coding agent that helps you fix bugs, add documentation, and build new features. It integrates with GitHub, understands your codebase, and works asynchronously — so you can move on while it handles the task.

1. Go to jules.google.com and sign in with your Google account (accept the privacy notice, one-time)
2. Jules needs access to your repositories on GitHub to work so click “Sync GitHub account” and complete the OAuth flow. Feel free to choose all or specific repos that you want to connect to Jules. Then, you will be redirected back.

More details can be found on our documentation here: https://jules.google/docs

If you’re looking for samples of real-world use cases to test, here are our templates: https://github.com/google-labs-code/jules-awesome-list

Excited to hear what folks think – send us any and all feedback in-product or in this space. Happy coding!

[kind moth]

Hello

[charred plank]

😭

[formal tusk]

Hi folks! We have a number of folks from the product team on Jules who will be responding to questions in this channel so please shout if you have questions/feedback/comments/etc.

[kind moth]

How's this different from Gemini with github access

Is it like a coding assistant?

[lime sigil]

You will definitely wanna dive in. Go the depths, and have your favorite cephalopod along with you.

[formal tusk]

sooooon!! Our emails are being sent a bit slower than anticipated 😅

[charred plank]

Apparently I just joined waitlist

😭

[random gulch]

jules' brand identity is very smart btw (expected from yall) 🦑 anyways gl with Jules yall!!

[kind moth]

Oh, I got it available!

I didn't even apply

[hearty salmon]

i just applied

[gleaming wave]

I joined the list so long ago

[brazen kernel]

Jules will be rolling out to everyone on the trusted testers list today, stay tuned for more

[gleaming wave]

hey is it like the codex by open AI?

[brazen kernel]

Do you have access now?

[gleaming wave]

but for free?

[gleaming wave]

yea

[charred plank]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

[kind moth]

Oh, only on my paid account I have access

[gleaming wave]

atleast something for fre

e

unlike closedAI

[hearty salmon]

yeah i have a seperate one for billing, wasnt sure if this uses api or not so I applied on both

[gleaming wave]

Also what language model does it use

thats the main question

[charred plank]

Gemini

[hearty salmon]

looks like 2.5 pro per notes

[gleaming wave]

lmaooo

[kind moth]

No, I mean my paid workspace account has access without applying

[gleaming wave]

i thought it uses gpt 4.1

[kind moth]

Maybe I applied and forgot tho

[hearty salmon]

yeah i just tried applying on my paid one

[charred plank]

That's closedai

[gleaming wave]

obv it uses Gemini lmaooo

[brazen kernel]

Jules uses Gemini 2.5 Pro

[gleaming wave]

I meant what model of Gemini

[gleaming wave]

oh thats nicee

thats what I wanted to hear

thanks

[livid arrow]

Thanks team Google this is great

[keen raptor]

but its free of charge for everyone, everywhere!

[gleaming wave]

can I use it for Vibe Coding?

[gleaming wave]

yea unlike codex...

[hearty salmon]

i don't think its fair to be upset companies charge money for services that cost money

[gleaming wave]

hopefully promotions of it at tomorrow's I/O event?

[hearty salmon]

i think its smart that google does free access to get a wide variety of feedback though

[novel star]

How is Jules not idx

[brazen kernel]

Try it - let us know what you think. Hopefully it works in the background freeing you up to do the stuff that you want to do

[hearty salmon]

hopefully I get access

[gleaming wave]

ohh so its like a mini personal software engineer

sounds good

do i need to have an existing code in the github repo?

[brazen kernel]

Jules is a fully asynchronous, parallel agent working on a repo. You can have many instances going at the same time.

[kind moth]

How many features can it do, like a scope of ability? Do you think I can give it a broad description like add x feature, or do I have to say:

• add UI button
• then after this is completed I say: make button call x on backend
• implement x on backend
• ...

[gleaming wave]

can I create something instead of altering my repos?

[copper hare]

jules is amazing 🙂

[kind moth]

I don't think it alters out of the box

You have to first accept changes

[brazen kernel]

Jules currently works only on existing repos. But we have some sample repos if you want to try it.

[gleaming wave]

ohh

[kind moth]

And there is add repo button

[gleaming wave]

I see. How do I get the samples?

[kind moth]

Just make a new repo or yes fork one

[lyric wolf]

Excited to try but waitlisted. 😓

[hearty salmon]

yeah, seems like a super neat product. Curious to see the VM implementation.

[elfin kite]

#jules-general・🦑 message :))

[lyric wolf]

Yeah but you have my attention now… not tomorrow.

[small shore]

Good timing with the codex release

[kind moth]

I see

[hearty salmon]

you'll have mine tomorrow 🙂

[kind moth]

So I'm a trusted tester?

[gleaming wave]

yeaaa

[kind moth]

If I have it today

[hearty salmon]

I've been enjoying the paid API of gemini 2.5 lately for quite a lot of things, hopefully this comes to API down the line too.

[gleaming wave]

oh so I got it cuz I joined the list?

[kind moth]

How did I become a trusted tester?

[hearty salmon]

the announcement says "today have made Jules generally available to all global users! "

[gleaming wave]

i think cuz u joined the waitlist

same way I got it

[kind moth]

I didn't

I mean I've been testing google products for a while

But I didn't join any whitelists

[gleaming wave]

oh.

then maybe cuz of that

[kind moth]

I just get emails

[gleaming wave]

I LOVEEE IT! it brainstorms ideas with me

like not just coding, it provides ideas like a real human

🔥

[kind moth]

Google team here?

I found UI bug

I can't report it via feedback

Happens when you fullscreen

Also for changes viewer can you please add unified mode as well

[chilly spindle]

@kind moth Thanks for your report. Are you accessing via mobile phone or desktop?

[kind moth]

I'll send you how that looks

Desktop

Chrome browser

Latest version

Unified example from another platform

[slim cipher]

Bro cool UI how can i use on Google?

[keen raptor]

thanks!! i'll file a bug

[kind moth]

For reference this is what "split" is and it's the only available here

[kind moth]

Yep, thanks

[kind moth]

About this feature request?

Where can I throw it

[chilly spindle]

@kind moth Feel free to share your ideas here. We can create internal trackers for them

[rapid prairie]

just got access , so treat my thoughts as literally first impressions.
my feeling is similar to codex - full projects require access to APIs, databases etc. so it's always going to be limited to what the agent can do within a sandbox. I think Google is in a unique position, with full Google cloud infrastructure, to simulate full projects, and allow agents to operate on all components.
other than that, just a small funny thing so far, but this is classic problems with LLMs, not having the naming up to date (most human coders can't keep up, so no shame in that 😉 )

will give it proper test before the AMA 👋

[slim cipher]

Hey Google team i know its silly but can you guys give acess to me on my account? [e-mail]

[real spoke]

also just got access

[gleaming wave]

use what?

[kind moth]

Also I realized

Jules doesn't support syntax highlighting for Vue

Maybe that's coming tho

I understand beta

[gleaming wave]

I hope they eventually add the 2.5 pro deepthink model to Jules

as its debut happened at Vertex AI

[kind moth]

It is

[dense cypress]

[kind moth]

I don't think 2.5 Pro has no think

Some moar feedback guys

This button is not very noticable I was looking around for a few minutes wondering what now? Did it just edit the repo?

[real spoke]

UI Bug when trying to open the menu

[kind moth]

Where's the bug

I see you drew some red and white

Ah yes

I can confirm this is a bug

When you click google logo above

The profile dialog is cut out by code

[keen raptor]

thanks for flagging, I can see it on my end too - we'll work on fixing!

[keen raptor]

adding a FR!

[chilly spindle]

Created a bug for this. Thank you!

[kind moth]

I found another bug

Double

Repo

[brazen kernel]

That's good feedback - we should make the publish branch more prominent. Create PR coming soon

[real spoke]

I published a branch created by Jules onto my GitHub. When It made an edit within the same task, it made a whole new branch name. But when I renamed it to what the original branch was, it did in fact commit an add to the existing branch that it created (which is good), but there was no visual feedback that it did this. I had to go and check in GitHub. Can you please add maybe like a toast message or something so there's visual feedback that a commit has been added to the branch that it created/current branch (if it has been published)

[chilly spindle]

You mean the "Publish branch" button is difficult to identify/find right?

[kind moth]

yes

[gleaming wave]

hey @brazen kernel how do i try existing repositories?

[brazen kernel]

Do you mean a sample repository? Or work with your own repositories?

[gleaming wave]

yea the sample you mentioned

or can it vibecode on an empty new repo?

[real spoke]

It is good that it did that but i need feed back also, everytime it edits code it suggests a new branch name, which i dont think is good, because it can create too many branches and everything will be confusing when trying to merge a PR

[brazen kernel]

Looks like the sample repos are coming. Here is my favorite one to test on https://github.com/ConnerArdman/tetris-react . A simple tetris react game. Just fork the repo and ask for updates, like a hardcore mode, or displaying the keyboard commands on the screen

[keen raptor]

is this within the same task or are you creating new tasks?

[chilly spindle]

Created FR for this. Thank you!

[chilly spindle]

Thanks for your feedback. There is an option to edit the branch name of your choice. Does that help?

[kind moth]

^

[real spoke]

within the same task it generates a new branch name, based on what i asked it within prompt (task as in chat, in chatgpt terms)

[real spoke]

Yes this is very helpful, although it was not obvious

[kind moth]

Also maybe bun.lock syntax and I haven't tested svelte syntax

Both will be good to be added sometime

[real spoke]

can the markdown please be rendered

[kind moth]

I don't think there is enough space

But the contrast can be improved I think

[brazen kernel]

^can you try, the text in the purple should be editable - because that becomes the commit message

[real spoke]

Can Jules please be able to do simple things like git fetch, pull and push. Because now i have to start a new task if main/master was changed, i dont want to be a commit behind. Also I am making many updates in this one convo so i want Jules to use this chats context and avoid starting a new task. This is a common thing with AI code tools, i want to avoid starting new task as much as possible (unless i really have to)

[keen raptor]

this is really good feedback, will add this to the roadmap

if you haven't already, check out codecasts! Go to the repo page (click on the repo on the left sidebar) and generate a podcast of recent commits for the repo 🙂

[gleaming wave]

Hii

[real spoke]

its been close to 15mins, on NotebookLM it is way faster

[gleaming wave]

Is it a podcast?

Didn't try this one last time

[real spoke]

i assume so

[gleaming wave]

Ohh

[real spoke]

i refreshed and it stopped, not sure if that should happen?

[gleaming wave]

Ohh damn

Jules UI is a lot better than Firebase Studio UI

[chilly spindle]

@real spoke I will file a bug to flag this. Meanwhile can you please try again

[kind moth]

This is a bug right

I have a double entry

Idk if yall took notice

[real spoke]

it has been very slow, and unresponsive now. i have good internet

this happened after i paused and unpaused a task, now i cant load that task at all

[kind moth]

This happens when you add a new repo to the app, and then in the app start a new task on it

[chilly spindle]

Yes thanks for flagging

[kind moth]

Because I use granular access with github

[real spoke]

infinite loop of sending some request

Request
https://jules.google.com/u/1/_/Swebot/data/batchexecute?rpcids

Must be a bug

[elfin kite]

hey y'all! if you have bugs or feedback specifically for Jules, we just made a new channel for this 🔥 please file bugs and feeback in #1374125660859142254

[chilly spindle]

Yes please

[formal tusk]

And then we can keep this channel for just general commentary. Fun prompts. Fun use cases. Quirky codecasts, etc.

[keen raptor]

Sorry! We're taking a look - does it work on other repos?

[kind moth]

Hey, guys

I love Jules' ability to understand a whole code base and deliver a mostly complete refactor (takes into considerations much more things than other AI agents I've tried)
So far I only had to do two prompts for a completely working as intended refactor.

[violet oak]

I am so excited to try this (still on the wait list). But I have used just about every tool out there so far except the new codex 1 and flowith

[tribal sandal]

Is Jules based on any Gemini models (is it fine tuned on 2.0 Flash, etc.)?

[kind moth]

2.5 Pro

[rapid prairie]

same, though not really a bug, more of a UI issue, with overflow. The interesting part that switching to developer mode on chrome makes it render correctly.

[kind moth]

It's a bug. Just funky with different display sizes

Btw for future issues #1374125660859142254

[rapid prairie]

was not able to 'publish branch', stuck on the in progress state. Tried a few times.
Makes me wonder whether wouldn't be a good idea for Jules to create a feature branch for each task before any code changes are made, then implement changes in that branch, rather than try to connect to the repo after the task is marked as completed.

so it would be
prompt -> plan -> feature branch -> code changes -> task marked as completed + MR

[keen raptor]

thanks, taking a look! Can you DM your task URL?

[formal tusk]

Yup just a reminder for folks here: ⁠jules-bugs-feedback

[subtle spear]

for sure? it seems different and "smarter" than 2.5 pro from my own testing

[kind moth]

It is deepthink

It also is a bit fine tuned for/by the environment

[subtle spear]

interesting

[kind moth]

Because it makes plans and stuff

It just has optimal instructions

All AI preformance truly depends on how well your instructions are

Here they have optimal instructions to have it make more instructions for itself on which to act

[subtle spear]

true

[edgy sluice]

this is so cool, props to the team! provides detailed info on how to run the test.

[broken hinge]

I would gladly pay for Jules as an add on to my Google sub that has Gemini and notebookLM. Especially if Gemini chat interface can be more integrated or at least connect with Jules.

There’s so much potential with Jules. And the interface even at this early stage is really nice. I already used up my 5 uses for today and can’t wait to use it on the regular. It was so nice firing off separate chunks of tasks against my GH repo.

[silent sable]

decent chance this is just a firewall error but I am getting this consistently - I'm not gonna check in inspect network just yet cause it'd use up my limit but just wondering if this is a known issue or not

[jagged escarp]

how to handle PW etc？ is there something like secret manager in firebase to sore staff like .env file?

[rich ledge]

I am getting the same error constantly

[molten fractal]

I tried a couple tasks and got that response each time, not sure if it was me giving a bad prompt (which doesn't make sense to me) or if something else is going on

[verbal light]

When it gives this error, it clearly is having some sort of issue. But why does it still count against our 5 use quota? I tried sevearl times and they all failed, so now I have no quota to try again when it is working?

[dusty flume]

No matter the input, jules gives the same error.

[deft mist]

I actually just joined the Discord to mention this. Getting the same issue.

[dusty flume]

Yeah, I came here for the same lol

[deft mist]

From what I could tell initially, it seems like there is a cap on the tasks but not the messages within the task. So yes, it takes up one task, but you can keep chatting in there.

[normal orchid]

is it similar like codex?

[deft mist]

Haven't got the opportunity to try Codex but I think so.

You pull in your repo and let it run a maximum of 5 tasks (for now) in the cloud

[normal orchid]

I havent got access to jule😔

[deft mist]

Seems like it still has some bugs. But it would be super cool to test it out.
It's expected; this is a beta after all.

[normal orchid]

even for google one subscribers?

[deft mist]

I think there's a waitlist. I definitely remember signing up sometime last month and I just got the invite today.

[normal orchid]

oh waitlist was available before 1 month

[deft mist]

😂 Don't quote me on that, I remember loosely

[verbal light]

Ya... I probably shouldn't have deleted those failed tasks. 🤣 😭

[deft mist]

Oh no 😂

[balmy kindle]

same issue here.

[formal tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/fyi-for-your-information-info-alert-heads-up-just-saying-gif-3356803250050315647

Just a heads up! Currently experiencing a bit of a high load. Come back in a bit -- we're on it.

UPDATE All good now -- resume tasks!

[chilly spindle]

cc @keen raptor

[keen raptor]

Sorry, we were under heavy traffic, it should be resolved right now. And yes, failed tasks do count against the limit today, sorry!

[balmy kindle]

Would be nice to be able to upload a screenshot to jules to work off

[rapid prairie]

how much are you able to reveal about what's happening under the hood - both before the official event, and after?
I wonder how all the other components Google was releasing as of late, from new Gemini models, through projects like IDX, or ADK, and ultimately AlphaEvolve, has gone into Jules?

[kind moth]

false

Tbh you can do a ton of tasks within one task

So it's more like five repos limit

[keen raptor]

happy to talk more at the AMA!

[rotund frost]

This tool is awesome! Getting to mess around with it now

Are there any plans to make the codecasts downloadeable? Being able to share them with coworkers easily over slack would be nice

Oh! Nevermind!

I swear that button wasn't there a few hours ago haha

[keen raptor]

haha you're right, it wasn't - we just shipped it!

hope you like it - let us know what you think!

[buoyant ether]

Jules is cloud based. It seems that it can't be used for large models. I tried to use Jules to create a python project for ASR. It will download the model. And the device is out of space. Is there an option for VM with bigger space in the future?

[keen raptor]

is this a local LLM model? How big is it?

[earnest wasp]

I noticed Jules currently doesn't have a feedback mechanism for web apps. It would be great if Jules can control a browser to test the app that it's developing instead of relying on cli tests which never cover the actual working of components.

[buoyant ether]

I tried to build an API for ASR. It uses SenseVoice. It reports out of space after pip installl funasr.

[keen raptor]

yes! on our roadmap. Tracking this internally at b/418937066

[keen raptor]

thanks! filed an internal bug to track this at b/418937205 - we'll see what we can do

[earnest wasp]

Is Jules adding features to it's own codebase? That would be so cool 😍

[real spoke]

did any one else notice Jules gave us 30 tasks per day at first👀

[proven sun]

Jules is getting stuck at publish branch . I have tried multiple times with 10~ mins interval between each attempt.

[wraith bane]

What is even going on here?

[old cove]

No i only got 5 per day

[rotund frost]

Great fun so far! Been sending feedback through the web UI.
Does jules not make use of typescript intellisense? I noticed it hallucinating a lot of properties which are not present anywhere else in the codebase or even implied (we have a "customer" interface but jules made up stuff like email, stripe, etc. We don't use stripe at our company for example.)

[lyric wolf]

Well it’s tomorrow. When does it launch?

[royal pagoda]

Does Jules obey .clinerules or there are any equalient like .julerules ?

[broken hinge]

Is there any internal chatter about Jules connecting with Gemini via web chat or ai studio? Like I envision working with Gemini on either advanced portal or ai studio, and having Gemini fire off a task to Jules while we continue working.

Jules could send a ping when the task is done or needs my attention.

There’s a lot of potential between Gemini and Jules as they currently exist. Especially if Ai studio or the main chat portal are enhanced for programming and coding tasks.

[hasty mortar]

Is there a way to update the branch where jules is working, with updates from the main branch? Can't do it with prompts

[keen raptor]

hmm can you DM your task url? I'll try to figure out what's happening here

[keen raptor]

We haven't instructed the agent to follow it explicitly but you can try to put that into the prompt and see what happens!

[keen raptor]

👀

[keen raptor]

can you DM the task url? i'l take a look

[rotund frost]

Sent 👌

[boreal elm]

What is considered a day? (No reset of tasks limit yet)

[keen raptor]

24 hr window!

[brazen kernel]

Welcome everyone! We are live to everyone everywhere! https://blog.google/technology/google-labs/jules/

[violet oak]

I think the main frustration for me is it lacks the workflow i really value with cline or augment code, where you can have the code edited in real time and then check and see what it looks like on local host, at least if it's a next js project. But with Jules everything needs to be a pr and I can't actually visualize what's happening... which is a major setback for me. Unless I'm using it wrong

[chilly spindle]

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Local development feature is not yet possible. I will take this as a feature request to the team!

[keen raptor]

one thing we want to get better at is better visualizing things like web dev projects in the UI!

[ruby swallow]

jules doesnt even work lol

[violet oak]

@chilly spindle @keen raptor yeah i thikn this feature would arguable be one of the most valuable. you guys are all devs so you're used to just doing it that way and you understand and visualize everything in your head, but for vibe coding or people new to it, especially for front end, its very much seeing things and knowing they look right and function right in real time, only then do i lint and write a commit and push

[chilly spindle]

Thanks for your report. Jules can work with your code base, make edits and then post a pull request on your behalf. Currently it does not have the ability to create issues on your behalf. Is that something you would like to see in Jules?

[torpid willow]

It would be helpful to me if there were tasks that completely failed, as shown in the attached screenshots, if Jules would not count that against your 5 a day quota

[violet oak]

Is there a session idea I can share with you guys? Because my first attempt at using it is not exactly working, I don't think, but maybe you guys can look into it and figure out why.

[ruby swallow]

No, I thought that is what jules does

[chilly spindle]

X · May 20, 2025, 5:46 PM

[brazen kernel]

Yes - the best thing you can do is smash the thumbs down button and tell us why

[violet oak]

Oh, sorry, I meant session ID number. For example, in augment code, if there's an issue, they can look at your session ID and see both what I was saying and what the AI was doing—and sort of trace through the issue.

[keen raptor]

Hmm Jules can't create issues on your GitHub repo (yet) - it can take your github repo and do something with that code

[formal tusk]

Of course! What's the idea? Feel free to dm as well. You're also welcome to post in feedback.

Reminding folks that we have documentation: https://jules.google/docs

And if you’re looking for samples of real-world use cases to test 👀 , here are our templates: https://github.com/google-labs-code/jules-awesome-list

[keen raptor]

We love the outpour of interest! Our servers are melting 🔥 - we're pausing new task creation for a bit while we get more capacity online!

[placid grail]

hey guys! great release, any idea when the 5 tasks per day limit will be lifted? more usage coming on the AI Ultra plan?

[placid grail]

same, also didn't work for me (even before the pausing of the servers)

[dusk marsh]

Servers are on fire. Give it a day

[royal pagoda]

Is there any interoperability planned with firebase studio and jules? Link a link when i can check out the stuff the agent works on in firebase studio with a single click, etc?

[idle spire]

Responses are taking forever wow

[royal pagoda]

I vibe code since vibe coding a thing, and what I found is that specific agent modes / prompts are really important. For example in Roo; The Architect first, then Code, then Debug, and main while telling the agent to maintain documentation. Then when task done, update the rules if needed.

Also what would be really good, I don’t know if Jules do that, but actual web search for the documentation if the agent faces issues. MCPs are really helpfull in that case or just copy pasting a bunch of text from the docs, but it could be awesome if the agent would look it up by itself when needed.

[silent pewter]

looks like its down, surprise surprise

[lapis shore]

while it seems to be done, Is jules supporting docker in docker?

Use case is that we are running our golang integeration test with https://github.com/ory/dockertest

[royal pagoda]

And there is one another thing which seems to work really well and might worth a look is Roo’s orchestrator mode which saves a lot of context size, hence it’s faster and cheaper.

[silent pewter]

roo is so good but drains my wallet

i just use cursor because i got a year free as a student

[minor hornet]

My repo is designed to work with other repos cloned as "siblings", how do I specify that in the instructions setup? Can it clone things in ../

[solid grotto]

I been stuck on high-load for hours now, when is the best time to try it out?

[native trellis]

Hey Sam - one of the engineers here. Jules cannot clone more than one repo at a time currently, but one thing you can try is to put URLs that point to specific files (the raw view on GH) into the issue description. If those are public repos, Jules should be able to read the files and use those to make decisions.

[silent pewter]

after its been a few hours since the product was launched most likely

[idle spire]

Jules would automatically refer to those file? thats cool

[native trellis]

Yes, the Jules agent has the ability to read URLs (if they are public and robots.txt allows it). The common usecase is that URLs are found in the issue description, but in theory it can find them elsewhere like the README or in code comments, etc.

[simple dagger]

Hello. Just joined here, looking forward to trying Jules as a heavy user of Claude Code. I'm a solopreneur with 25 years of coding experience. Right now Jules is overloaded 🙂

[wicked sparrow]

how to use this?

[violet lark]

any idea on if requests time out if they are the queue for too long? dont want to burn one of my five actions by retrying if so!

[wise crypt]

I couldn’t find this in the doc: can jules pick up issues on it’s own? Or can I just assign an issue to it like with the new copilot?

[wicked sparrow]

how to use this platform

?

[chilly spindle]

Jules can work with your code base, make edits and then post a pull request on your behalf. Currently it does not have the ability to create/work issues on your behalf. Is that something you would like to see in Jules?. Check this out https://x.com/kellyschaefer/status/1924884510740775354 to know more

[prime holly]

👀

so it'll probably be a bot we add to our repo or something similar

[wise crypt]

The idea to let my non-dev coworkers write issues and just assign them to an AI is just genius IMO. I could come back once a day and look at the results or even automatically create a new build from the new branch and let someone (non-technical again) do an initial test.

[chilly spindle]

Thanks for sharing. This is an interesting feature request.

[minor hornet]

Excellent, thanks for the response

[regal pilot]

[hearty salmon]

this would be very nice.

i got ultra for one month, but i'd likely keep it for that.

[faint atlas]

Can jules access the internet?

[brazen eagle]

May this ‘high load’ be just the beginning of a wave of achievements! Good job Jules team!

[brazen kernel]

Thanks! You should be starting to see Jules more responsive right now...

[brazen kernel]

Yes, Jules can. It's a powerful feature. Please review the usage guide

http://jules.google/docs

[tribal sandal]

Yeah I see that high load bar at the top, but it's been running pretty smooth. I just wanted to ask, whats the general time to actually generate code? It's varied a lot for me.

Is there a way to stabilize that?

[broken hinge]

Oooh that does sound nice. They send issue to Ai. Gemini grabs it as a task in Jules, you or something approves it, Jules makes pull request , you come in and review situation and approve pull request is good.

[placid grail]

will there be an option to select a model in jules? for some PRs would like to be able to select faster models (e.g. gemini 2.5 flash), for some others SOTA models without too much care for speed

[formal tusk]

Hey everyone! Thanks for the patience 😅 .

Here's a quick update from us:
Codecasts ended up being a bit more popular than we expected. As a result -- and you've probably noticed this already -- we're limiting access to it *temporarily * while we work through the rest of our queue.

[brazen kernel]

Good question. This will stabilize over the coming days. We see the average task time around 5 minutes

[tribal sandal]

Great! I saw that you can ask it questions mid task it seems, is it on a todo list based system like Manus for example? Are we going to see some feature sets like the “Manus Computer” for Jules so that maybe the program can actually see what we mean? A picture is worth a thousand words but it’s worth more when the ai can take the picture itself, we don’t have to

[median stump]

i havent been able to use jules all day long bc of the heavy usage. is there a solution for this?

it keeps saying System is experiencing heavy traffic. Jules might take longer to respond.

but it never responds

[keen raptor]

Here's an update: https://x.com/julesagent/status/1924980365082689915

Sorry for the delay, we're working through it!!

Jules (@julesagent)

Thanks for the patience, all! Codecasts ended up being a bit more popular than we expected. For now, we're limiting access to it temporarily and we're working through our the rest of our queue.

[proven compass]

Why does the logo look like Cthulhu? Seems like it doesn't bode well for the future of humanity 🤔

[solid grotto]

something is wrong with the model

[keen raptor]

thanks for the flag! can you DM the task ID?

also, if you see bugs, please use the jules-bugs-feedback channel!

[idle spire]

🥲My requests are still hanging
Experimenting with a TTS project, tried to use jules to improve its performance, so far so good

[keen raptor]

we're still working the queue!

[solid grotto]

got u

[cosmic fiber]

after jules make the first branch it can't edit anymore? it just pretent to edit and never push?

[idle spire]

Nope, jules can iterate and edit in addition to its previous edits and push them to github

[cosmic fiber]

so it just fails all the times?

it just edits D:

it edits and stop like this forever

it happened in all my attempts to continue editing

[idle ore]

Any clues as to how we could get the android sdk into the sandboxed environment for jules?

[little sundial]

is this why it couldnt set up my flutter app?

[stiff bluff]

FWIW, I'm also seeing this behavior. It tells me it's edited files and asks me to give feedback, but they don't show up in the diff

[keen raptor]

okay we're seeing the queue starting to drop - hope things start finishing for you all soon

[keen raptor]

check this page out: https://jules.google/docs/environment/

Jules comes with Java installed! you can set up specific env set up scripts in the repo page

[coral rover]

Is there a way Jules can perform activity across git repos under my organization? I have several repos and would love to run some analysis, search across repos and use functionality from one repo in another

[keen raptor]

ah not yet! but its something we want to work on!

[ancient orchid]

Hi there! I'm loving so far the tool, just get my first plan going (build an API for a system) and it's going very well! But naturally, getting stopped by the high usage limit. How much time should I expect to wait "System is experiencing heavy traffic. Jules might take longer to respond." and "Task is queued"?

[keen raptor]

sorry to hear that! we had a ton of traffic this morning that we are working through - the queue is a lot smaller than it used to be

hard to say how long it will be though

[coral rover]

Have you ever felt you can do so many things and you have brain freeze on where to start...that's how I feel now...

[ancient orchid]

Thank you AK! Hugs from 🇧🇷 Brazil

[ancient orchid]

Same! I'm building with Gemini Chat / Canvas, Cursor, Windsurf... and Jules this seems like it takes it all to the next level of planning, building, integrations...

[oblique ledge]

once the task is done, is there any way to select which files we want to submit to the repo? my task created many temporal/useless files (*.pyc, cookies.txt, db.sqlite3, dummy.png, flask.log and i don't want to click on "Publish Branch" without filtering those out

[keen raptor]

try to ask jules to create a .gitignore and put all those file types in the .gitignore!

[oblique ledge]

yeah, the first time makes sense, but if every time i need to update the .gitignore file will consume one task(quota)... or are these changes consider part of the same task ?

[keen raptor]

you can have multiple back and forths with the agent within the same task - it all counts as one task 🙂

[oblique ledge]

ah perfect!, Will check Jules for a while. Thanks!

[tepid lava]

[native ruin]

time to bed and let jules agent does the work

[dense moss]

Mine has been in queue for more than an hour lol

[native ruin]

It was fast yesterday. Must be huge load today

[lofty badger]

Hello, World! Is it possible to share what happened on a task?

[flint lantern]

Hello Everyone...Trying out Jules..Looks good first impression..Although some queues just like other members reported ..Have created a new Subreddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/JulesAgent/ to in depth discussions...Excited to see what devs build with it..Cheers !!

[sonic palm]

Does Jules have a file like Agents.md, cursorrules or CLAUDE.md which would be automatically pulled into context for every task?

[royal pagoda]

As far as I understand no, but you can refer it in the prompt.

[sonic palm]

That's what I did and I think it worked, but it would be nice to have that as an option

[undone estuary]

When is the queue for Jules expected to decrease? I want to test it 🙂

[full mountain]

hey guys, i've sent a prompt to jules and have been waiting for around 1h20m

its been saying "starting shortly" for this time

is this because of queue?

[gilded trail]

Just got to try out Jules. Pretty impressive!

Is it possible to collaborate with Jules on the branch it created? Sometimes it would be nice to make some small tweaks elsewhere, push them to branch and then let Jules continue from there.

[idle spire]

Yes, even adding more features

[idle spire]

BTW should jules always follow conventional commits?
if not, is it possible to force it to?

[fallen crypt]

yeah same Ive been waiting forever

[edgy light]

So,I did 4 tasks today and 3 of them are currently just stuck while 1 got completed. Should I just wait it out until it gets finished or is this an issue? Just need to be sure as one of them was sent around 6 hours ago and I tried sending messages again but it isn't really working

[idle spire]

Probably waiting longer

my tasks was stuck for almost 15 hours

[edgy light]

I see
I guess I will wait until it's done
I don't need to write anything to jules,do I? Like another prompt or follow up.

[calm linden]

any idea, how much the waiting time is gonaa be , Its going for more than an hour now

[blissful sequoia]

I'm waiting since ~6 hours.

[ancient orchid]

+8h of queue, jules still haven't get back yet.

Anyone there have a GPU Jules can borrow? lol xD

[scenic flare]

hi. is anybody also experiencing also that one task (of the 2 task within the parallel processing limits) is queued and not get released? currently for me jules only works on one task rather than on two. Probably the high load today since beta start, but still..

[kind moth]

It's truly made

to start three tasks and leave it

It'll send you notifications when progress

[ancient orchid]

Hey! Did you managed to get a full task done? I was worried about starting 2 tasks at same time because of high load, so I just started one... it was blazing speed (~5min) to build the first 5 changes, but then ask me for feedback to continue the other 5, and then entered on queue and never got back, ~9h waiting and going...

[kind moth]

also, no they truly work in parallel, it's just a bit slow

I haven't had issues I've even ran 3 tasks

Also you can't start any more tasks look at #jules-announcements・📣

[scenic flare]

not yet, but just try it since it will create a feature branch anyways.. so dont worry about messed up repo or something.. but yeah, currently still waiting to get one task done.. but for me it is still pretty sequentially rather than parallel processing of tasks 😉 (for now! sure this gets fixed soon..)

[ancient orchid]

Well, that's odd. Because I started mine at midnight

[idle spire]

Managed to published some changes to a new branch this morning ( 2025/05/21 UTC+8 03:00 )
no progress since then

[kind moth]

well, if it's not done yet it prob won't happen

[kind moth]

#jules-announcements・📣

It's not a production ready product

And it's probably mostly on halt now

Since a bunch of new people jumped on

Like yall

[idle spire]

We all(x

[kind moth]

I've been using it for a while

tbh

I'm a trusted tester

Be patient, when they announce new resources it'll be all smooth

[solar flicker]

love using it so far, is there a way to pay for it to go beyond daily usage?

would love to!

[ancient orchid]

Any dev want to be my SWE code agent in the meantime? xD

[scenic flare]

if you pay for it, sure!

[ancient orchid]

🤣❤️

[spark comet]

you guys are able to use jules?
my task is stuck from last 6 hours

[ancient orchid]

yea, probably you'll wait more until the usage goes down. I'm waiting ~10h+. Also, new task was stopped see #jules-announcements・📣

[spark comet]

Where are all those Googlers now who ask 'how will you scale?' in every system design interview? 😂
Alright folks, time to walk the talk!

[stray yoke]

I'm testing Jules ability to port a python project to Go.

[crimson egret]

I'm stuck too.

[gritty crescent]

I'm very interested on Jules, and I'm trying to use it on my personal project but so far it has been a complete failure - and not because of slowness, but because the product seems to lack way too much polish.

[native trellis]

I'm really interested in how this goes, let us know!

[native trellis]

Oooh sick burn, and you're not wrong!

[magic plaza]

Hey ive being playing with jules and kotlin , changes in code were done to build or run something not demanded, being adapted to gradle or android generally isnt working perfectly , my guess this is not yet being done , but , another laravel project was stuck changes were done in code but cant publish branch is getting stuck for ages , and while inspecting console post requests doesnt stop keep sending thousands of things , while anything isnt workinf having some much crap being sent well not be useful 🥲

[lime venture]

She was amazing the evening of the 19th when I first got my invite. We wrote READMEs where there were none. We moved configuration to .env files. Then, we tried some more advanced stuff. It was glorious. I promoted her from Intern to Jr Developer.

Then, on the 20th, she got overwhelmed with demand.

For posterity, I'm primarily working with Node.js and React.

[quiet nebula]

indeed, its working pretty well, when it works. It's disappointing to see it fall over at the last step when its time to publish the branch

[lime venture]

I think my biggest complaint is that it can create the branch but not the pull request. A minor inconvenience.

Edit: Added +1 to a similar request on the #1374125660859142254

[tough thicket]

Hey there.

How do I use the "code-cast" feature?
I can't find it anywhere in the UI.

[keen raptor]

https://x.com/julesagent/status/1924980365082689915

Jules (@julesagent)

Thanks for the patience, all! Codecasts ended up being a bit more popular than we expected. For now, we're limiting access to it temporarily and we're working through our the rest of our queue.

X · May 21, 2025, 12:07 AM

[reef canopy]

What sort of Queue times are people seeing? Decided to try this out this morning, but been in queue for over 2 hours

[tough thicket]

Ah well, I figured it might have been disabled due to load.
Thanks.

[carmine osprey]

Hi @jagged escarp ,
Have you found how to deal with secrets?

[digital sable]

Are you meaning commit templates? If so, I would second this question.

[idle anvil]

who would've thought, a company as big as google struggling so hard

to manage load

[idle anvil]

I've had my task queued since yesterday

[river meteor]

Yup my project been just hanging almost9 hours

[reef canopy]

super async haha

The bug I was testing it on wont be in main by the time it gets out of the queue haha

[regal pewter]

Mine is also hanging for about 9 hours, funny that you can test your project import without delay in the settings (though ofc that doesn't use gpus)

[river meteor]

How you do that?

[regal pewter]

check your repositories and switch to the configuration tab

I guess you better try the import, just to be sure
and to avoid that bad feeling for waiting half a day and get stuck at project import when it is your turn

[crystal hollow]

What time do daily limits reset? Is it a specific time or rolling 24h?

[formal tusk]

It's a rolling 24h Jared!

[cosmic fiber]

tasks that never started and are in queue since yesterday, just give up and create a new one?

well looks like new ones never start too

[calm linden]

When will systems be up @formal tusk , My taks are queued for more than 8 hours now

[karmic arrow]

I've had some luck starting new chats, I've had to be somewhat clever about it sometimes (going in the html and copying the previous chat/planning when a previous instance locks up halfway) but it usually works. But I think the vibe is that its really finnicky, maybe not the best async error handling, so a task that fails hard enough or 3 times is just orphaned with no closure on our end

[formal tusk]

If ya'll want to jump into our AMA today at 130pm PST: https://discord.gg/PmHxjUtv?event=1374099307715891312

We'll be addressing a number of questions including our 🔥 😅 .

[fading pendant]

Seems like Jules doesn't run jest/playwright/etc tests to check its work?

Ah, nvm, have to set that up in repo config.

[hearty salmon]

I noticed after I changed permissions on GitHub it's still not seeing the new repos.

[regal pewter]

just for the curiousity, but I guess it's an obvious no... I guess Jules can't check things in a browser (yet)?

[hard dove]

Anyone always just getting ask for clarification when its done edits, and that clarification is asking me to run tests, but its never made an option to push to github

[river meteor]

Just tell jules to push to repo..it may take a while or seem stuck cus the server are really full right now

[regal pewter]

my task is almost 12 hours in the queue 🙂

[storm lantern]

join the line buddy ive been waiting for 20 minutes

[junior ledge]

hello everyone.

whats jules about?

can i have some info about it?

[formal tusk]

here you go: https://jules.google/

getting started: https://jules.google/docs

[junior ledge]

Thanks, @formal tusk. Have a nice day ahead!

[keen raptor]

depends on what you mean - if you put a URL in the prompt, the agent should be able to look up that link and use it as context!

[old sapphire]

I already love Jules XD it fixed my 2400 line bash script that i created with gemini (and because gemini always logged me out or became unresponsive) deepseek and chatgpt XD

[regal pewter]

ow so technically a server can run and jules can check the results directly, if thats the case (which is likely), that's great!

[keen raptor]

ah jules cannot do this yet - but its very very high on our to do list

[steep scaffold]

can jules also create comments in git issues in the future? i opened a git issue for jules before i started the task, but it did not close the issue 😦

it would also be super cool if you could integrate jules in discord, or slack. so we can have conversations in our channel with gemini and let jules start a task.

maybe this could be done by creating an mcp server for jules that can be used by another agent

[keen raptor]

Leo, do you have access to our roadmap???

[steep scaffold]

not sure. where can i find that, let me see

[keen raptor]

haha i was just joking - those are all things on our roadmap!

[steep scaffold]

cool 🙂

[solid grotto]

which ai model does the jules run on?

[peak river]

does Jules work for anybody at this time? I prompted some fixes in code over 11 hours ago and from this time it says "System is experiencing heavy traffic. Jules might take longer to respond."
11 HOURS

[regal pewter]

mine just crashed like 3 minutes ago, I asked a new question 🙂

yeah its about 11 hours for me, but maybe the queue got even bigger now

now it's not waiting, but thinking a long time for the next answer

[peak river]

i cant do anything because "task is queued"

[supple solstice]

How it feels waiting for Jules rations:

[violet path]

where’s the AMA?

[formal tusk]

Alrighty folks -- the live video AMA had to be rescheduled but the team is here to answer any questions live for the next 30 minutes.

so.

[brazen kernel]

We will introduce ourselves

Hi - I'm Rustin - A Product Manager for Jules. Happy to answer any questions about the product vision, product questions etc

[formal tusk]

Hi folks, my name is Laurel, a TPM for Jules. I go by Rue in this server because I thought it'd be funny to be hi_rue like Hyrule (yes I might be the only one who gets that joke).

[brazen kernel]

While waiting, the picture above makes us sad (on a number of levels). We are working really hard on the queue I promise

[keen raptor]

hi folks, I'm a AK - I'm also a PM for Jules!

[supple solstice]

Only so much compute to go around (for free!) We understand!

[rapid sable]

Hey Jules team, congrats on the public beta! Where do you see Jules fitting in with the current offerings of Gemini Code Assist?

[brazen kernel]

Thanks. Launching this for free was really important for us

[keen raptor]

We're working on bring up more capacity and chewing through our queue. thank you for the patience!

[steep scaffold]

can i see the roadmap? 😉

[formal tusk]

oh totally Leo. Here's a roadmap. 🛣️

[brazen kernel]

Ha! It's big and exciting. If you have a specific question happy to answer

[steep scaffold]

😭

[brazen kernel]

We'd also love suggestions and feedback

[karmic arrow]

Hi team! Thanks for being available. How do you measure a 'task' from start to completion? Is the branch creation the 'finish line'? I only ask because trying to continue after the branch is usually where things go south for me, ie attached image.

[static parrot]

Can you share any insights or best practices advice for setting up project config files so that Jules can be properly set up for a domain-specific use cases? Personal finance vs creative writing vs fitness app development, for example.

[keen raptor]

hey craig 🙂 yes! GCA is really great at in the IDE journeys code completions, code transformations, etc. Jules is built for more async, complex journeys. We think devs will likely end up using both products during a normal product lifecycle

[brazen kernel]

A task can continue after the first branch is created. I think the problems you are seeing has to do with the high usage and queue.

[supple solstice]

Will there be any deeper visuals on the work Jules is doing?

[brazen kernel]

A "task" is what is contained in the "task view"

[brazen kernel]

Do you mean like looking at Jules browser or other emulators?

[supple solstice]

Yes

[steep scaffold]

i already added a view points like the slack/discord integration. #jules-general・🦑 message
I was wondering why the approve plan button only requires a mouseover event to get triggered

[karmic arrow]

Right, but... and hopefully I am not highlighting a hush hush loop hole, but why not just stay on one task forever and get it to iterate? Wouldn't that be unlimited usage?

[supple solstice]

Browser mostly or any visual on it's actions in general

[junior ledge]

Interesting. Can I know more about jules? I'm a bit new to it

Like, is it similar to manus ai agent?

[brazen kernel]

Stay tuned. Definitely. Tell me what else you'd like to see? Emulators, custom environments etc

[ancient orchid]

Hi there! Just a feedback, unfortunately the system is still on queue, since yesterday 1 am. :/

[karmic arrow]

I think you speed run a nextjs app branch deployment, you will win the internet

[brazen kernel]

we are working out usage limits - would love suggestions. Just don't want to create token anxiety

[placid grail]

hey guys! i'm Giacomo, co-founder and CTO at a startup in climate tech, super excited about jules and coding agents in general to boost engineering teams.

would love to see the following:

• custom docker images to be used in the environment where the repo is cloned
• extremely higher rate limits, ideally unlimited. there's a real scarcity heuristic with 5 tasks per day, we found codex to be really valuable because it's virtually unlimited at the moment under a pro subscription, so the team can throw any task, no matter how little.
• possibility of choosing the model (e.g. some tasks might be better assigned to gemini flash vs. pro or future SOTA models)
• ideally standardize on AGENTS.md for reading? getting a bit out of hands with all the custom directories / files where agents are supposed to look at before starting

[ancient orchid]

It worked for 5min, did 50% of the task, than entered queue after asking my feedback.

[brazen kernel]

Working on the queue - getting close to more capacity I think

[regal pewter]

Does it fit in the vision for Jules to be part of the ci tools? Maybe like setting up a temporary ci task that are exploring some unknown behaviour of the tool (like asking for temporary specific benchmarks)

[keen raptor]

a few ideas:

1. if there are specific project dependencies you need (ex: you need a specific library for a game engine) you can install it in the repo page
2. Additionally, you can put some of this context in a md file and ask the agent to look at that file and use it as context as part of the prompt

That being said, we do want to do way more to help here. Please let us know if you have any ideas on how we can make this better

[steep scaffold]

can it run docker?

[supple solstice]

I'd love to see an agent we can deploy on our own servers for simple tasks

[steep scaffold]

yeah

[static parrot]

Can Jules be used with Gemma 3n for making on-device apps or nano-agents? I'm curious about how far we can push things by combining APIs, MCP servers, etc., and I think Jules might be helpful there but not sure yet.

[brazen kernel]

Thanks - this may be a bug. Sending to our design engineer

[ancient orchid]

Nice, thank u guys!

[rapid sable]

What was the biggest "I can't believe Jules can do X" moment you've had?

[burnt bolt]

Hi Jules Team! 👋 I am curious how Jules builds context to understand projects, especially in early stages of development. Specifically how it reasons over repo files like a design_bible.md or architectural guidelines in other markdown files.

[formal tusk]

Not yet o__O

[steep scaffold]

what about tools and other mcps?

[static parrot]

Great, I'll include that in my workflows and try out a few different use cases to give some feedback.

[visual zealot]

Hey Jules team, I love the Jules Web Ui 🙂 How could we link Jules with our internal Artifactory ? Any guidance there / is something on the roadmap ?

[brazen kernel]

Interesting - tell me more. Like Jules could write the code that runs Gemma 3n on a VM?

[brazen kernel]

watch this space 🙂

[karmic arrow]

To be clearer - an idea I would really love is having

1. The ability to put in env variables in a task (I think thats sensible for now, they shouldn't be universal, but maybe there should be project level grouping, with tasks living below)
2. Being able to essentially preview branches based on what was created by jules - or at the very least, a sandbox localhost deploy I can interact with, and even better if jules can puppeteer it as part of its own testing feedback loop

[formal tusk]

For me personally, was playing around with Jules to edit a trading script I had and it worked! huzzah.

[brazen kernel]

Jules does a lot to understand the context around a project. Soon it will ingest a .md file - and also write to its own knowledge file (with your permission) to maintain context between sessions

[steep scaffold]

for example jules can inform devs via email if it finished a task

[keen raptor]

it's an async AI coding agent! you hook up Jules with your GitHub repo and give it tasks. then, jules will provision a VM and actually build your repo, and work through the prompt. There are two nice things about this workflow that's different than an in the IDE:

1. you can send a ton of things at once - in the IDE, you're typically working on one thing at a time. With Jules, you can send a lot of things at once (as soon as our infra clears up)
2. you can do things in parallel - Jules can work on a different set of features on the same code base at the same time while you code too

We're working through a waitlist right now but you should still give it a try!

[supple solstice]

My dream is to have a tool like Jules and prompt it to do my simple server maintenance. "Jules, please go check my web traffic logs on my IIS server and report if you find anything abnormal, Create a report of what you found" for example.

[formal tusk]

Also @rapid sable when we were building Codecast (I know we turned it down for now), but Codecast ended up creating an overview of changes we were making to itself.

[steep scaffold]

but i guess this will also be available via agent space soon, so no need for gmail mcp 😉

[brazen kernel]

Love this. Tell us more. We care a lot about Jules doing the things that devs don't want to do. The outer loop. Lots of work here to come

[stiff bluff]

Are the frequent failures people are reporting load related or is it just too early yet? I don't really mind waiting for the task to run, but things seem to be breaking frequently

[violet path]

I’d like to see a way to securely give Jules access to secrets to be able to interact with other services we may want to use in a task. 🔐 It could be Google or GitHub secrets managers or even manually set up environment variables to start with.

[steep scaffold]

i actually wanted to create such agent a few weeks back. for example it can constantly monitor the journalctl logs and keep you updated about what happens on your servers xD

[brazen kernel]

Will share more, but Jules refactored the Firebase iOS SDK from objective C to Swift

[stiff bluff]

I haven't yet really been able to complete a single task because of it

[junior ledge]

@brazen kernel In scenarios where Jules is tasked with modifying a highly abstracted, multi-layered codebase—such as those employing metaprogramming, dynamic imports, or runtime code generation—how does Jules internally reconcile latent ambiguity without access to real-time execution traces, and are there plans to integrate probabilistic code reasoning or partial execution simulations to further enhance context awareness and predictive accuracy?

[scenic pumice]

Hey everyone, I'm Wes! I lead engineering for Developer AI at Google Labs including Jules. Super excited to be here, help the Jules community and see what you're building!

[stiff bluff]

(Although I was pretty happy with the intermediate results I did see from a quality of generation perspective)

[static parrot]

I think that's what I'm getting at, still learning the right terms. But yes, I guess Jules would create the code and make the webhooks/endpoints accessible for Gemma 3n to use. Does that make sense?

[brazen kernel]

Hard to say for sure, but I'd say mostly load related. We are digging into about 100 things at once

[supple solstice]

I would love this! There are many things that would be great to have done. Checking for updates maybe, reviewing event logs, These things could be scripted but it would be awesome to have a context aware agent dig into these annoying issues for me at times.

[keen raptor]

That's a great idea! I'll chat with the team about this

[junior ledge]

Thank you :))

[stiff bluff]

Alright, sounds like I need to try again in a few days then

[keen raptor]

we had codecasts narrate the code of us building codecasts which was wild

[brazen kernel]

Super good (and difficult question). We'd like you to be able to train Jules on the tasks that you don't want to do. So anything you can run in a Linux environment (at least right now).

[half sigil]

Awesome job, Team Jules! ❤️🚀

[scenic pumice]

Glad you love the Jules UI. We're working on making it easy to incorporate Jules into every developer workflow including systems like Artifactory using APIs, MCP and more. It would be helpful to us if you let us know how you would use it together so that we can make sure to cover the cases that matter to you.

[supple solstice]

Will Jules ever be able to do Re-occuring tasks?

[steep scaffold]

does this mean that jules uses ssh to access a server?

[formal tusk]

we'll be off at 2pm PST so just 6 more minutes folks. Keep it coming.

[barren copper]

Hi, my name is Ale, I'm a Technical Program Manager here on Jules

[karmic arrow]

Just to ask again, are there any plans to have any ability to have deploys/renders based on branches that we/jules can preview - particularly nextjs apps?

[scenic pumice]

Yes. Both recurring and proactive tasks are important areas where you will see more. We would love to know what kinds of recurring tasks you'd like to see.

[static parrot]

In case it got missed

[brazen kernel]

Yes. This is high on our list. And we'd like to go beyond web apps here

[burnt bolt]

Secondly, again on the topic of broad contextual awareness, can you speak to any safety measures that you are considering with regards to codebase implications? E.g. if someone is developing a logic-bomb type of codebase to effectuate a cyber-physical attack (microcontrollers, industrial control systems, etc), will Jules at some point recognize the safety risk, and how will it handle the situation?

[karmic arrow]

Amazing, thank you!

[junior ledge]

That's exciting! Just to clarify—if I create a repeatable workflow (like setting up CI, code formatting, or even custom deployment scripts), can I fine-tune Jules to recognize and automate these across different repositories? Also, is there a roadmap for supporting non-Linux environments or cross-platform tasks in the future?

[brazen kernel]

Note sure - but this is probably possible. Just create a repo and give it a try

[static parrot]

Oh! What are some use cases you haven't seen yet that the team would be interested in getting feedback from? Anything different, niche, etc.?

[brazen kernel]

Yes! We think most of this will be possible in the .md file. What non linux environments / cross-platform would you like to see?

[steep scaffold]

or will this only work in google cloud?

[regal pewter]

what was the most fun the team had made with Jules?

[formal tusk]

2 more minutes folks and then the Jules squad has to return to the depths of handling the queuing situation!

[barren copper]

I have some cameras that I use for wildlife detection around my house, and the system to ID animals in the streams had been on the fritz. I had given up on fixing it for about 6 months. It was the very first thing that I asked Jules to look at and it figured it in about 5 minutes. Small fix, like one line, but it had evaded me forever.

[visual zealot]

If we could have a way to link Jules agents with our internal network, or deploy Jules "satellites" directly to our infra. We also have a few MCP servers in the works which could be hooked to Jules, but I dont want to make those public to the internet etc. Happy to tell you more let me know.

[stiff bluff]

What kind of metrics are you using to evaluate whether Jules is doing its job well? And do you break these out by programming language of the repo?

[static parrot]

Windows and Android

[scenic pumice]

Early on when we were getting started with Jules, I was amazed when we learned that some of users had repositories where Jules wrote over 90% of the code. And that code has shipped. It really helped me just how transformative the promise of Jules is.

[karmic arrow]

So right now tasks are pretty top level, but I feel like it would be sensibly to have another layer of abstraction - ie, "Project" - that we can provide context to, and in the future things like environment variables/secrets. Is this kind of in line with what you are thinking?

[keen raptor]

ooh this is hard! I would love to know what use cases you're working on!

But a few things I would love to see feedback on:

1. tech debt - there's stuff that we all know we should get to but we never get to it - and those tend to be tech debt type stuff. It would be interesting to see how Jules performs on go through tech debt
2. Proactivity prompts could be interesting - "look through this repo and figure out how to improve it"

[half sigil]

Could you share what's coming for Jules users in the near future? 😀

[brazen kernel]

The most fun we had was the website 🙂 jules.google

[formal tusk]

Of course Andrey, here's our roadmap 🛣️

[supple solstice]

I haven't had much prompting experince with Jules but it would be cool if it worked with you to make your prompt better to get the most out of it

[steep scaffold]

i was just about to send him this xD

[brazen kernel]

We hope to get codecasts back online for everyone. They are tons of fun

[karmic arrow]

For tech debt - this was my first use case -

I had a 1600 line nextjs page.tsx file, it was getting too big for cursor handle well and edits were just failing consistently. I tried to get cursor via o3, and actually even just gemini 2.5 pro to refactor, and it failed over and over. Jules ALMOST (minus some types it got wrong) one shotted it

Turned it into 6/7 sub 400 line files

[junior ledge]

Thanks for asking! Besides Windows and macOS, I think supporting Docker and WSL would be really useful since many developers use them to work across systems. Also, integrating with cloud dev environments like GitHub Codespaces could make Jules even more flexible. I’m excited to see if Jules can eventually work smoothly no matter where the code runs!

[brazen kernel]

We look at aggregate numbers like % branches created etc. And also thumbs up / down of course

[rapid sable]

Sneak one last one in here I've been dying to know. How did you come up with the name?

[junior ledge]

Also, thank you for your precious time, @brazen kernel, @formal tusk, and every other staff active here. 💖

[steep scaffold]

is there a max token length for the title of a pr?

[formal tusk]

Jules = homonym of Jewel = synonym of Gems. #geddit.

Also @barren copper 's kid is named Jules,

[keen raptor]

Yes! You can technically give Jules environmental secrets and variables now! if you go to the repo settings page and config, you can set it up on the initial set up page

[brazen kernel]

THIS IS AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.

[formal tusk]

Alrighty folks -- the jules team has to bounce but we will be checking in on ya'll if there are any lingering questions.

[static parrot]

Thanks for your time

[formal tusk]

Appreciate you all hopping on and asking us all the questions!

[brazen kernel]

We'll be back. We'll try to check in at least daily

[barren copper]

Nice chatting with you all!

[junior ledge]

That's awesome, thank you :))

[burnt bolt]

Any way we should tag our questions for you to find them easier without mentioning you all?

[formal tusk]

Ya'll are so much fun, chat soon.

[formal tusk]

Didn't you know, we thrive in chaos.

No you can just tag the person you were chatting with and we'll follow along in the thread created.

[supple solstice]

Thanks! Feels cool to be listened to!

[keen raptor]

really great chatting with you all!

[steep scaffold]

cu. love from berlin!

[keen raptor]

and as rustin said, we'll continue to be here daily - so keep the questions coming!

[timber crest]

Have we already broken it? I mean the number of requests it must have

[gritty flicker]

Yeah, it stopped working for me about five hours and nothing since.. is there a status page we can check?

[flint lantern]

Hello Everyone- I am trying to collect some datapoints around Jules VS Codex..Not specifically to pitch them against each other but to understand how these two coding agents are fundamentally same or different- If you used both and input to share- Please do so in This Jules Subreddit- https://www.reddit.com/r/JulesAgent/comments/1kru9u4/jules_vs_codex/

Thanks !!

[steep scaffold]

this guy on linkedin is creating a benchmark too. i send him this link

[flint lantern]

Thanks !!

[steep scaffold]

isnt it possible to stop a task?

[elder wolf]

Anyone else seeing this error? 😮

[keen raptor]

can you DM your task URL? I'll take a look

[keen raptor]

yes! you can pause it - top right on the task page

[steep scaffold]

So I have a task that is stuck and I wanted to try again with a new task. That's why I don't want Jules to do this task again later. This would also be a good feature if you want to change the prompt without having to wait for Jules to come up with a plan.

[keen raptor]

yah that makes sense! can you just start a new task? or are you at your limit?

[steep scaffold]

one left 😉

[subtle karma]

What timezone does the daily limit use?

[dense cypress]

Thanks all 🧡🐺

[keen raptor]

its on a 24hr window

[regal pewter]

For the rate limiting reset, see #jules-general・🦑 message

[subtle karma]

[terse solar]

Has anyone been able to get higher limits yet

[steep scaffold]

ok it actually happened, jules suddenly repeated the task again and there is this auto approve feature, so i could not stop him xD are those tasks getting removed from the dashboard after a while? or is it paused forever now?

[idle spire]

Jules has auto-approved its plan for me lmao

btw is it possible to close this part in the UI

[steep scaffold]

yeah i wanted to add some prompt instruction rn but it already auto approved, it doesnt look like theres a setting to turn that off

[keen raptor]

auto approve is on but with a timer - if you'd like to stop the timer, you can type something and the agent will wait for your explicit approval

we did this because we heard from a lot of people that they don't even look at the plan - so this felt like a nice way to help those users too

[steep scaffold]

yeah but if i move away from the tab, i might miss the chance. would be cool to have a setting for this like with cline

but maybe i just get used to this very fast

lets see

[steep scaffold]

yeeah looks like jules is stuck thinking. i let it run for the next 6h and see if its making any progress.
would be cool to get insights in the thinking process like with aistudio and gemini. is there a max time for tasks, or just max recursion

i think its actually trying to figure out how to build some docker image. i accidentally added some guide for that in the prompt, so maybe i confused jules. i really dont know

[keen raptor]

can you DM me your task url? i'll take a look at whats happening

[tribal sandal]

Does Jules run on a todo based system?

If so, is there a way to explicitly edit the todo lost (like Manus, etc.)?

Great tool btw, had loads of fun using it=

[dull anchor]

The publish button is loading forever, I wonder if it is a problem with my setup or it indeed takes a long time to publish the changes?

[indigo citrus]

have the same issue, worked fine 6 hours ago

[keen raptor]

weird - it's just hanging? how long is it stuck like that?

[dull anchor]

about 2 hours, retried multiple times

task ID 6911979734955080714

[ancient orchid]

Hey there, just a feedback: Jules completed my 1st task ans got it done! (The task was implementing new routes with FastAPI). 🥳🔥

Let's goooooo, going for the 2nd task

[indigo citrus]

mine just quits lol (tried multiple times now) & does not provide any feedback on completion or failure - task id: 14078021818309546488

[keen raptor]

filed a bug, we're tracking here internally b/419398792

[keen raptor]

thanks! when you click it, you don't see an error either? no message?

also, reminder, if you have bugs, please use the jules-bugs-feedback channel - much easier for us to keep track 😅

[indigo citrus]

yup no message, it just quits after few mins
will use feedback channel next time, apologies😅

[keen raptor]

but since we're already here - one last question, does this happen on just one task? or all of your tasks?

[indigo citrus]

just had 2 tasks till now- the first one worked perfectly well, but that was in the morning/afternoon, while the second one that started in the evening is struggling with this

[ancient orchid]

Sadly, it's still on queue for the starting plan... 🥲

[keen raptor]

ugh sorry, did you start this recently? you might've been unlucky 😦 - it seems to have gotten much better for most people

[stiff bluff]

Were there any changes to the underlying model since yesterday? Subjectively the quality of the code changes was substantially better yesterday, but I may have gotten lucky with prompting/randomness of course. (This is a rerun of the same task, so I'm comparing the code changes directly)

[cursive zephyr]

Can we follow up on tasks? Had a PR published, but i continued and made changes in the branch and push it up to git. Would like to be able to go back to Jules and continue with it

[river stream]

Just started using Jules yesterday. Very interesting! I kinda really like it. Once the servers has stopped melting... I'm sure it will be even better. Really good start team! 👏

[keen raptor]

no model changes! we've been mostly focusing on the adding capacity

[keen raptor]

yes, kind of! this is where it gets slightly tricky (and its something we're working on!) - but when you start a task, we take a clone of the repo. Because of how we handle the github token, the agent isn't able to do git fetch/git pull. So as long as there aren't any other commits that happened outside of Jules, you should be able to contine

But if there were other commits, its best to start a new task

[river stream]

I'm getting serious rookie mistakes in the code, like <!-- --> comments in the middle of a html tag for example.

[cursive zephyr]

Makes sense. Interesting problem to work through as I am sure the back and forth will be valuable

[river stream]

yeah, I would like to tell Jules to pull the latest from the branch. It's a common work flow when collaborating with any one

congraz team. I look forward to Jules helping me build my dream product... because no one is gonna want to hire me anymore soon.

[keen raptor]

can you ping me your task URL? i'll try to take a look at what's happening

[river stream]

it tried to comment code like this:
{/* UNKNOWN CHECKBOX REMOVED
<div class="field-checkbox col-12">
<Checkbox id="unknown" v-model="currentPointData.unknown" :binary="true" :disabled="loading && displayDialog" />
<label for="unknown">Unknown</label>
</div>
*/}
and added the comment in a tag like this:

<Dialog
  v-model:visible="displayDialog"
  :header="currentPointData.id && !String(currentPointData.id).startsWith('temp_') ? 'Edit Point Details' : 'Add New Point'"
  :modal="true"
  :style="{ width: '450px' }"
  @hide="() => closeDialog(true)" <!-- Assume hide is a cancel action -->
>

...
</Dialog>

Do "Ultra" subscribers get more Jules usage?

[covert wagon]

Hi)
I m living in Ukraine and try a Jules today, but it s writing that it is not yet available in my region.
Log in is working with VPN, but i googled and there is no restriction for Ukraine, so i go there to ask - is this a permanent or this will be available without VPN in a few days/weeks)

Sorry if this is incorrect topic, there is only three topics in "Jules" and my question don't seems like a bug)

[dawn finch]

why does publish branch button doesn't work, like my task was completed like 12 hours ago, now pressing publish branch just keep loading

[real fable]

Is this normal for Jules?

It won't let me try it out

[viral quarry]

Hey! If Jules is in the middle of thinking but you refresh the page, does it carry on thinking and carrying out the task? I'd assume so as the chat box says 'Task is queued' but nothing in the chat window other than my most recent message 🙂

[lofty badger]

Let's say I want to show what Jules "thought" and did in a specific task to coworkers. Is there a 'share' functionality?

[zinc hull]

Hi I've been getting this error for a while now ever since Jules became publicly available. I don't have any concurrent tasks running atleast none that i know of. Can somebody please look into this?

[violet juniper]

I now got 3 tasks that are completely stuck. There is no way to remove them. This has to be fixed

[bitter crystal]

Can you say how good the support for chip (HDL) design langues like Verilog and VHDL is? I guess there is not a big public training corpus available. Is this something you are working on?

[hollow olive]

Hey there! 👋
I had a quick question: If you start a task with an initial prompt, and Jules creates a plan and follows through on it—but then you request some changes to what he did—would that be considered a new task, or is it still part of the same one?
Thanks a lot for your help!

[eternal raven]

I want to take a look at the picture but it was so blurred. Can you retake it again?

[bitter crystal]

Check the announcements - they are halting tasks until they get more server resources.

[broken trench]

yo can if you go to your codebases and press the little bin to the right. It deletes the task

[violet juniper]

All tasks show as running but they don’t do anything. The bin icon isn’t there for running tasks.

[violet juniper]

Yes, they are queuing tasks. I am talking about tasks that are running but not doing anything. They show as running but became stuck and keep that way.

[broken trench]

haven't faced this scenario yet, currently for me the problem is that task gest queued for ever, and in that case i can cancel it.

[somber thicket]

So the internet melted the Jules servers?

Does anyone know how to command Jules to check in the code to the main branch, or any branch for that matter?

[somber thicket]

Wow. Loads are so high even the discord chat is frozen.

[tidal oyster]

Jules is super annoying, constantly getting errors: "Jules is experiencing heavy traffic. Task is queued and will start shortly.". But all my 5 tasks are already waiting 2 days.
This is very bad, how is it possible that Google with all the servers and space they have getting these errors

[stiff totem]

same one

[minor hornet]

On my 1st task, Jules correctly and automatically pushed to a new feature branch. On my 2nd task (which was very similar), it just showed a diff in the browser and did not create a branch, even after I prompted it to do so. Ultimately, I copy pasted that one myself. I suspect it is just a bug.

[short geyser]

burh been waiting in q for 5h now xD

[somber thicket]

Oh is she back now? Did google run out to microcenter and buy more computers?

[formal tusk]

Morning all! ICYMI (or don't use X): https://x.com/julesagent/status/1925400715037745208

TLDR: Queue is still there but good news is average time for new tasks has gotten significantly better. We're working hard on improvements and have gotten more capacity online. Most of us are asleep right now but we'll be back at it first thing today.

Jules (@julesagent)

Thanks for the patience! We've rolled out a ton of improvements and have gotten more capacity online. There's still a queue but average wait time for new tasks has gotten significantly better. Please keep the feedback coming!

X · May 22, 2025, 3:57 AM

https://tenor.com/view/computer-cat-working-type-typing-gif-7817705

Hi)

[junior ledge]

Awesome.

[neat lichen]

Just used Jules for the first time on an old .NET solution with multiple projects, and I'm genuinely impressed. It perfectly analyzed the structure and dependencies, creating a highly accurate README with detailed setup instructions and service examples. For context, Gemini Code Assistant didn't manage the same task, so this really stands out.

Big credit to the team behind this. I'm aware that developing something like this will have its challenges, but the user experience of the workflow felt remarkably smooth. It's truly exciting to see a product like this developing so well.

[tidal oyster]

Is Jules now working good for you guys?

There is some wrong things going on, my first task (12 hours ago) is still pending with the error "System is experiencing heavy traffic. Jules might take longer to respond." but when I start a new task it will just work for the first 3 messages.

What is the logic behind that? Just run the first task first, then the new ones

[ebon oracle]

Can you please edit this to remove "bs" please? I understand your frustration but it still goes against #rules-and-guidelines・📋

Thank you!

[tidal oyster]

Done, but can you maybe answer my question?

[ebon oracle]

That would be a Google Labs team question but could you please post this in #1374125660859142254 though?

[covert mirage]

The docs say to provide feedback via a button on the bottom left of the screen.
https://jules-documentation.web.app/feedback
I see a feedback button at the top right.

Do you receive/read the feedback at the top left?
Are the docs out of date?

[versed yarrow]

My first time using jules was last night. Queued up a couple different things for the agent to try for me. first one managed to fill the VM disk and freeze, carryover from how I develop that it followed. My question would be, how do I cancel / remove things from the Queue that I know aren't going to work?

[silver flume]

no one here knows what to do if jules doesn't know about the existence of some python library?

[gaunt rivet]

I discovered jules this morning. Created my first task.

Jules is experiencing heavy traffic. Task is queued and will start shortly.
For three hours, it has been stuck on
Starting shortly...
Is it supposed to behave like that?

[covert mirage]

It would, indeed, be cool if it gave an indication or a density estimation of time until start.

[keen raptor]

sorry y'all - yes, we should work on some sort of time estimation

[gentle pulsar]

Yep, that would be awesome

[whole hound]

Is there anything on the roadmap regarding safe sharing of secrets to pull for example private containers or set your own NPM registries?

[gaunt rivet]

I just need someone to tell me if this is a bug, and like, the workaround is kill the task and try again, or if waiting in the queue for 3+ hours is the expected outcome.

[harsh halo]

it would be cool if jules gave priority to people on pro and ultra plans since resources seem to be limited 🥲

[old sapphire]

Hi. is there a specific time when the limits will reset?

i did some stuff yesterday but it still shows i reached my limit

[whole hound]

It might reset everyday UTC time?

[fresh pebble]

I believe it's a rolling 24hr window

[lunar prairie]

Is there a "time limit" on how long I should wait to see if/when Jules works on your queued task?

[violet juniper]

Will we get an option to cancel tasks? I think part of the reason servers are overloaded is because people have all kinds of failing tasks running or queued without an option to cancel it. I cannot start any new tasks because I have 3 tasks running that are stuck and do not do anything anymore.

[fresh pebble]

The queue is big, nothing to do but wait

[glacial salmon]

First time trying this. Curious if the publish branch is working as expected. With the load it took some time but jules seems to have completed the task I wanted it to do, but publishing branch doesnt seem to work. The loading spinner engages (I've left it for upwards of an hour) but when refreshing its not showing engage anymore, and nothing is publishing. Not sure if this is the load or if its actually a bug.

[teal dock]

Okay I have a big innovative idea, what if the queue was like, a stack instead? And then you had a semi-random way of popping things off the stack? Biased towards people with better tasks?

I don't know, maybe this is why I'm not a senior SWE, but didn't this work for the undergrad that discovered a faster way to search hash tables than O(n)? Or some variation thereof.

[formal tusk]

Thanks! This really means a lot. Stay tuned for more exciting things on our 🛣️ (once we get this week under control of course).

[storm bone]

I would like to request early access to use here in Brazil, does anyone know how I can do this?

[formal tusk]

Definitely not Richard. We're so sorry about the heavy traffic but the team is swarming to deliver a better fix today.

[faint wasp]

I hope expansion does not remove free dailies

[formal tusk]

Hey there! Brazil should have access, would you pls try again?

[formal tusk]

It's a rolling 24 hour window!

[formal tusk]

Nope, would just mean expanding to more countries in the various regions.

BTW if ya'll were interested in contributing new prompts for users just getting started, suggest categories, etc: https://github.com/google-labs-code/jules-awesome-list

Yes we called it an awesome list.
Yes that was the best name we could come up with.

[sturdy python]

GitHub - google-labs-code/jules-awesome-...

[sturdy python]

It's a rolling 24 hour window!

[formal tusk]

You can delete! https://jules.google/docs/tasks-repos/#pausing-or-deleting-tasks

[violet juniper]

Not when tasks are in queue or in progress but stuck

then the delete button isn’t there

[somber thicket]

At this point I'd pay for Jules to use my own server in the cloud 😄

[forest badger]

Since jules is taking a nap.. Has anyone tried to code in ai studio? It is awesome. way better than firebase studio. I ahve no clue why

[somber thicket]

Jules is taking a sick day

[forest badger]

unfortunately i was very impressed

[reef canopy]

Why does Jules refer to itself in the third person? lol

[somber thicket]

Perhaps she has Depersonalization-derealization disorder?

[formal tusk]

Because Jules needs a way to keep track of who's actually in charge of the inkredible chaos.

[somber thicket]

Or that

[gaunt rivet]

@forest badger aistudio only offers native Python code execution, which doesn't really help me since I want to code in Rust.

[neat berry]

I have started my "task" arround 8 hours ago. s everyone else experiancing such high latency ore did my task get stuck?

[somber thicket]

Yeah dude, I think you need to start over

[covert mirage]

Will Jules keep running even if I'm offline? Or does it depend on my browser being there to talk to?

[somber thicket]

Seems to work offline. But keep the browser open for notifications

[covert mirage]

The browser will be open, but the machine will have gone to sleep. 😉

[hard flax]

Is there any way to "restart" or export task? I have a task that has almost been accomplished until it reached "unexpected error". I used the prompt to continue but it has been stuck in queuing for the last few hours.

The only option that seems available is to manually copy the contents of each code file to a new branch.

[formal tusk]

You can select rerun from the task summary view! https://jules.google/docs/errors/

[gentle pulsar]

Is the trafic now just naturally lower or did you fix it?

[subtle karma]

What is the current queue length

[keen raptor]

Hi folks - checking, are wait times on new tasks much better for you all?

Our metrics are saying they are - but want to validate with users!

[gentle pulsar]

They start instantly for me

[keen raptor]

anyone else?

[somber thicket]

Looks likes she's responding again

[hard flax]

Something happened - I can't tell exactly what - but it progressed further, and I could publish changes to a new branch.

[somber thicket]

She's taking long actually do the thing.

aw. she just failed

The thought long and did nothing

[keen raptor]

is that a new task?

or a previous task?

[somber thicket]

Previous task

[keen raptor]

got it, would you be able to try a new task and see if it works?

[somber thicket]

Trying a new task

[fresh pebble]

I tried to run a new task and it would just spin and spin and then refresh the page. After it did that a few times, it registered as if the task ran (and I'm out of tasks now) but it's nowhere to be seen. I wondered if my prompt was too long or something

[somber thicket]

So far so good on the new task

lol, she switched to python 😄

[keen raptor]

what language is your repo in? is this a bad action? If so, can you DM me your task URL and i'll take a look?

[somber thicket]

https://jules.google.com/task/15166334627966699763

Started at C# but she tried to install .net 7 which failed

so she switched to python. Had problems but now showing code. So progress!

well the task completed.

Well the program ran. Its not correct because it didn't open a page to let me login but. So far it's good.

I don't code in python though.

[keen raptor]

got it - did you try to nudge it to not use Python? if so, did it listen?

[somber thicket]

Nah, she tried a bunch of times and then gave up. That's when she switched to python

She seems fragile so I'm not going to push her 😄

Ouch. She Died

Well that's it for the day.

[shell marlin]

Hi all - so I'm trying out Jules and have a couple questions.

Firstly, it seems like generally the output is quite limited, is there some relatively low token limit in the background? If so, is that due to the initial beta having limited resources to account for bottlenecks/high usage? Is there some info on token limits/will this be adjustable in future?

In turn, is the use-case moreso small tasks/modifications to codebases for the time being rather than e.g. implementing/modifying existing features.

[somber thicket]

Well she's been out for 2 days, so far she can make whole projects but the slowness makes evaluating her performance difficult

Also, she has the power to stray way... off course

[shell marlin]

Yeah, I noticed that it's significantly faster to just prompt something like claude 3.5/3.7 and get a pretty decent oneshot (or just manually iterate). Not agentic ofc but claude code comparatively can make larger sweeping changes than what I've seen from Jules so far

Assuming it's just early teething issues/due to crazy load since it's free ofc

[keen raptor]

ugh sorry, I'll take a look

[keen raptor]

is this a new task? we did have some resource challenges the last few days but new tasks should not experience this

[shell marlin]

A new prompt to an old task; prompt was ~30m ago, task initiated ~7h ago. I'll try out a new task to see if there's any improvement. Liking the UI/overall feel of it so far, the speed/context is the only thing missing imo but I'm sure that's mostly initial teething issues

Does Jules have access to code execution/web browsing etc out of curiosity? Aka is it using a fully fledged Gemini 2.5 pro model in the background with a secondary model to iteratively prompt it, or does it have limited features compared to Gemini 2.5 pro?

[cosmic warren]

Hello, could I get some help too, please?
https://jules.google.com/task/9988686227222164650
Great looking response and changes to many files, but unfortunately, I just can't publish it

[keen raptor]

yup, it has code execution and web browsing! if you give it a url, it'll use the content of that page as context. and the agent has access to the bash tool - so you can ask it to run commands like npm install, npm run dev, etc

[keen raptor]

what happens when you click publish to branch? does it error out?

[somber thicket]

It publishes without error

[cosmic warren]

Mine shows no error, just shows the progress spinner running forever. When I reload the page the button appears again, reset, but on click it does the same

[shell marlin]

Nice one! I'm playing around with it and noticed that even if you prompt it to run/test the code prior to creating a PR, even if it errors out/tests fail it still shows you the the 'publish branch' option and the execution output is buried somewhere in the message so it's easy to miss.

From a UX perspective maybe it would be good to have some sort of measure of success (aka code compilation result/results of unit tests) and then there could be some visual indication of this? Maybe even some icon to indicate that the code failed to execute so you have that context prior to committing.

or even like a red/green outline for the text box (if code was executed) or similar, indicating the outcome

[keen raptor]

do you think you can send a screenshot of what you're seeing/thinking?

[shell marlin]

Sure. So I'm just playing around with it and was seeing if it could make a basic platformer via pygame since it can execute python. At the bottom right here, there was a 'publish branch' button (can't see it now as I prompted it afterwards), and you can see in the highlighted text (had to scroll down a little - the execution status wasn't visible in the initial view) that the execution failed.

So my thoughts are that if an execution failure like this occurs, there should be some visual representation of this, especially considering a lot of people will be lazy and not fully read the output message before clicking 'commit changes' which can be a bit risky in certain cases.

There's a couple ways of doing this. Ideally it would be something like a red version of the publish branch button, which when you click it leads to a popup saying 'execution failed due to {error reason}, are you sure you want to publish?) or similar.

[keen raptor]

oh! i see! yes, we absolutely need something to explain what's happening

we have an engineer working on this right now - should hopefully have an update soon

thank you for the screenshots, super helpful!

[shell marlin]

Sounds great! Would also be nice to have toggles for basic/the most common requests, e.g. 'Unit tests', 'Code Execution', 'Web Search' etc. Which would basically just be a lazy way to force-trigger those features/add a few lines into the prompt without having to explicitly prompt for it.

[keen raptor]

oooh love that idea, sending this to the team now!

[cosmic warren]

any suggestions? I tried asking it to git push to another branch name, but no joy

[keen raptor]

in the submit card, you can edit the branch name - maybe try a different branch name and try that? We have eng looking at this right now so I'm not entirely sure what's causing it. but hope to soon

[errant basin]

Anyone else having an issue where, when viewing the expanded plan outline for a new task, Jules interprets that as "approving the plan"?

[old sapphire]

Jules is automatically approving after some time (theres a timer)

[shell marlin]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing how Jules evolves over the coming months

[stiff bluff]

Does jules have the ability to reset the VM (but not the working directory) to it's post-initialization state? It decided to rm -rf the tools I installed for it

[keen raptor]

we're working on adding a bit more time - we've gotten feedback the timer is too fast

[old sapphire]

Im fine with it 🙂 That was meant as a reply to @errant basin 🙂

[keen raptor]

so when you kick off a task, the agent has context of the env set up scripts. it doesn't actually run those scripts in the VM beforehand, we give it to the agent and the agent can run it if it chooses to

[old sapphire]

which OS is used for the VMs if i may ask? 😄

debian?

[stiff bluff]

Ah, that wasn't clear to me from the description on the configuration page, maybe that description could be updated?

[keen raptor]

yes, on it!

[stiff bluff]

When Jules generates commit messages, it ends up saying things about removing pieces that it itself added (because I told it to remove them again). I don't know how the commit message generation works, but I think it would make sense for Jules to take a diff against the original repo and only talk about changes that are in the diff.

[keen raptor]

yes! we have a bug for that - i don't think people want jules's inner monologue in the commit message lol

also for those who have been filing bugs in the bugs channel, I haven't forgotten about you - will respond to those tonight!! thank you for filing them there!

[stiff bluff]

Needs a feedback button for "we finally got there, but man was this cumbersome" ;). But hey, out of 7 tasks started, I finally managed to get one all the way to the end https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/58503

[errant basin]

oh that might be the problem, both times it was very close to when I hit "expand" so it seemed like it was caused by that action.

That makes sense.

[fresh pebble]

Whatever the timer is, it's crazy short. I can't even dream of reading the plan before it approves itself 😄

[eternal raven]

for my case it took over 5 minutes due to heavy traffic

[fresh pebble]

convenient 😄

[eternal raven]

yup

Jules really helped me a lot

the daily limit is upto 5 tasks but it is not a problem for me

[warm field]

Jules keeps on going off for30-60 minutes, up to multiple hours, and then just comes back saying, Jules has returned an unexpected error. I seem to be stuck in this loop.

[dull anchor]

task 10674307268680927499

[keen raptor]

Is this an old task? Try to create a new one - we're seeing better results on new tasks!

[keen raptor]

thanks for flagging, will take a look!

[jaunty spindle]

Hey Folks.
Added my github, Added my repo's. Went into Github, renamed a repo. Jules still shows the old one. Will that matter? Cant find a place to change which repo's it gets access too

[violet juniper]

It probably caches your repos or something. You can change which repos it has access to in your Github settings under apps. You will see the Google Jules app there and you can change it's permissions. But I doubt it will fix your issue.

[split kernel]

Im clueless what is jules for beautiful people and also what is it?

[jaunty spindle]

Well just gave it the first task. Fingers Crossed.

[gentle pulsar]

Btw, does anyone else also have problems using clang? I was only able to get jules working with gcc

[slim oasis]

Hi all, similar problem here. It reduces the task limit, though...

[unkempt scarab]

Hi all, I am encountering github authentication issue while asking jules to resolve a merge/conflict case. Any idea how to proceed? I checked the github access page for jules and I already gave Jules the maximum access that I can.

[short geyser]

just some feedback:

[leaden kettle]

So far Jules has been a interesting experience.. has made it possible to start moving some side projects that have been gathering dust for a while in my repo forwards in a new, interesting way. So far I have one task that completed... ish.. that I got working with some gemini troubleshooting and bug solving (since jules stopped respoding with anything else than a black box) and one more complex task that has been running for multiple hours which will be interesting to see the outputs for.

[lusty oar]

Hi, everyone
I would like to know if this means that I ran out of the daily quota or that I still got 5 to go?

[pure nacelle]

Still have 5

[lusty oar]

Thanks, but it has stopped working for about an hour 😢

[pure nacelle]

Dang like running a task?

[lusty oar]

I think so

[pure nacelle]

Never seen that, I would try to refresh page. Then maybe try pausing project and starting again(sometimes that works), or start a new task

[lusty oar]

Thank you for your advice, I'll give it a try

[novel wraith]

for somereason it keep failing and still counts on my daily limit -.-

[pure nacelle]

Better off posting in bugs

[novel wraith]

okay

nvm
it was solved like any other random ai

i had to start the prompt short and then shotgun it with the full thing

btw it finish in 4min
the same thing took me 3 hours yesterday

[raven pier]

Are there plans to update to newer rustc version?
Jules is using rustc 1.75.0 at the moment, but there already is rustc 1.87.0.

[silver crater]

what does jules do?

[raven pier]

Agentic coding

[silver crater]

it codes an application ?

[raven pier]

You just give it access to your github repository and it will edit the code

Add features etc.

[silver crater]

alright got it

[raven pier]

yep

[silver crater]

This tools are making me rethink my career

[novel wraith]

• its actually testing it

[raven pier]

We will se.
I have talked with one of my friends who is in the first year of uni and apparently all of his projects can be one shoted by gemini2.5 pro

[silver crater]

yea but it's all about using these tools as a team i guess

[tidal oyster]

My thing don´t post anymore in the branche, how to fix that?

[raven pier]

I think it will just make the teams more efficient. 5 person team would be able to do what 50 person team 10 years ago.

[silver crater]

i guess that's it

[raven pier]

There is still a lot of things llms struggle with

LLMs are great for CRUD apps, but not that good for out of distribution tasks

such as some very specific solution to problem only small number of people have

At least not yet

[silver crater]

yes but its a matter of time before this things would be overcome by AI

even robust scalable application is few months behind before AI is Going to build alternative to discord or notion

[patent orbit]

hey all, just wanted to say that i'm trying out jules and boy is it awesome

it's now stuck un publishing a branch, but it worked fine on an earlier test and i'm quite impressed

it even managed to make sense of my super messy code

[raven pier]

What are you working on?

[patent orbit]

ah, it's a pre-existing shop of sorts made with laravel + filamentphp

it's quite a mess since there's a lot of duplicated code due to many changes over time, so the item editing can happen in 2 different files for example (admin or seller), it still managed to handle that (after i pointed it out)

i had it add item translations for multilanguage support and it really delivered

so now i'm giving it a better run for its money, creating a new SaaS from scratch, let's see how it goes

so far so good, expect the branch publishing not working, but i copied the files manually to my server and running tests now

[raven pier]

cool

[patent orbit]

is there any trick to un-stucking the branch publish?

[raven pier]

How it's going?

[raven pier]

I have no idea

[patent orbit]

24 minutes to generate the code, almost 2 hours stuck on that

[raven pier]

did you gave it all of the permitions?

[patent orbit]

refreshing the page re-enables the button so it makes me think it's not really publishing it just yet, it must be queued somewhere

yup, as i mentioned, it committed fine on a different repo yesterday

[raven pier]

weird post it into the https://discord.com/channels/1172568727942860810/1374125660859142254 and we will see if anyone will be able to help you

[patent orbit]

aye

oh, first post is already about that

[fringe quiver]

same here

[patent orbit]

well, i published the branch on my own by copying jules' files manually, i'll start a new task on that branch as a workaround

too bad it's my last available task for the day, i wouldn't mind a few extra ones to make up for the lockups

[tidal falcon]

Hey Google Staff, when I go to try out Jules I get a message saying its not available in my Region. But my Region(North Macedonia) is listed under available regions for Google AI Studio and Gemini API. Do I need to take some additional action/configure something?

[patent orbit]

i just asked it a nice set of features to add, all at once, is it gonna make it? place your bets

create 3 jobs, put them on cron, create the models to save the retrieved data, display them in the main dashboard (using filament widgets, a not-so-common framework as an added layer of difficulty) and then create a detailed view page as well

20 minutes and 18 new files later, let's see if it manages to publish it

[rose quail]

(I am using translation.)
I live in Japan and the code window is hard to see like this.
Other people besides me have confirmed similar cases. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to deal with this.

(翻訳を使用しています。)
日本に住んでいるのですが、コードウィンドウがこのようになって見づらいです。
私以外の人にも同じような症例が確認されています。対処法などありましたら教えてください。

[patent orbit]

branch published successfully this time

[patent orbit]

click that arrows button in the top-right for an expanded view

still not the best view ever, but it does the job, also you can shrink the sidebar on the left

[rose quail]

I know that, but I could be mistaken, but from looking at other people's images, it looks like this wasted space is not there. Is this normal for now?

それは知っているのですが、私の勘違いかもしれないですが、他の人の画像を見る限り、この無駄なスペースがないように見えました。今のところこれが普通なのでしょうか？

[hollow oak]

can jule handle desktop application with .net?

[rose quail]

I have found that this happens when the screen is filled to the brim, etc.
It does not bother me much and I will wait for improvement.
Thank you for your time.

画面いっぱいに表示させたときなどにこうなることがわかりました。
あまり気にならないので改善を待ちます。
お時間いただきありがとうございました。

[patent orbit]

anyways, the published branch had a couple errors so far

it used a model's fields that don't exist, which it should've known from the migration files

adding them manually fixed that, let's see what else is there

[bitter crystal]

Can anyone say how I can easily jump to the github branch that the currently selected task is working on? I know there are links to github from the last commit message shown, but that message can be many screens away and is not always easy to find.

[patent orbit]

jules didn't refresh the branch to get my latest edits, maybe a new task was necessary?

[stray yoke]

my task is waiting 2 days, can i stop it?

[formal tusk]

We're working on it! Nothing additional needed on your side.

[formal tusk]

hey Gary -- have you tried going to the side bar, selecting codebase, and then deleting the task related to the codebase? https://jules.google/docs/tasks-repos/

[mild scroll]

hi, we're having issues with Jules' Github integration (only repo owner is able to have Jules' branches created). Is this the right place to ask? Ty in advance

[patent orbit]

Well Jules did go a bit creative with eBay api endpoints and calls.. can it Google updated info or is it only using its own knowledge?

[polar swallow]

Good day, Jules team and Devs,

How have you been finding Jules so far? Since the beta opened, I'm curious to hear how you've seen adoption progress within the community.

I've been testing it myself, and while there are still areas for improvement, I've found it quite helpful—especially when guided by a developer with clear direction.

As we know, adoption is key to the success of any technology, and even though it’s still early, I’d love to hear your thoughts and expectations.
Do you believe Jules will continue to grow and become a more significant part of Google’s developer tools portfolio?

[patent orbit]

I sure hope they don't kill it off, or put it behind a hefty paywall

In fact I'd like it if they kept a free tier with limited tasks as it is now

[tidal oyster]

You have to fix these errors "Jules encountered an unexpected error. Please start a new task to try again.".

Constantly after approving a plan, I get that error

Very annoying

[edgy light]

Can Jules port(or help in porting) a certain program/game which is open source from one engine to another? For example,from RPG Maker to Unity.

[patent orbit]

that sounds like a huge job

[gloomy quest]

Hi guys I'm New here

[formal tusk]

🚀 All systems go! 🟢 (xposting from https://x.com/julesagent/status/1925945321852465290)

We're back up and running at full steam! Our queues have been cleared.

If you've started a task a few days ago and it's not working, please start a new task. We're seeing much better success rates on newly created tasks.

A few things we shipped recently. We've:

1. Improved our queuing system & provisioned more compute
2. Made the "publish branch" button much more prominent
3. Fixed a bug where the agent marked itself as complete without any user input
4. Fixed a ton of UI bugs in desktop and mobile

A few things we've heard from you all:

1. Feedback timer is way too short
2. GitHub export has been a bit buggy for some folks
3. The web app is a slow for very tasks with large diffs

We're actively working on all these things. Please keep the feedback coming!

[old sapphire]

Would love to test it but i reached my Task Limit 😦

We really need something like a Timer until i have tasks again XD

[bright cliff]

Hii everyone

[old sapphire]

Can i Pay somehow to higher my limit? XD I have a total creative run right now and need a few more tasks 😄

[placid heron]

Anyone else having problems getting your repos to appear in the repo list?

I just signed up and jules and start the process to connect to Github, selected the org and picked 3 repos I wanted to connect. It told me "the process is done, window will close in 5 seconds", but when the window closes there is still only "Empty repo" in the repo list (also tried refreshing).

[heady arch]

I'm having the same issue.

[regal pewter]

On my part, I was restricting Jules to having access to 1 repo, attempted later to add another repo (had to do it twice) and after that my second repo appeared after a refresh (did attempted refreshes earlier though but that didn't help at that time)

So it's solved after a bit of hassle

[placid heron]

Thanks. Sounds like I am not the only one at least. I am gonna leave it for a bit and come back to it later, maybe there is some background process that is a bit overloaded at the moment.

[jaunty spindle]

do we know when our dailly tasks reset? Figured it would have been in the middle of the night but mine have not reset yet today

[old sapphire]

its a rolling window afaik

but yeah its really annoying that theres no timer...

[jaunty spindle]

ick. ok

[formal tusk]

24 hours and rolling!

[covert pike]

What is the difference between Jules and firebase studio?

[patent orbit]

do we have an example or tutorial on how to properly use the "Initial setup" configuration option?

like, can i tell it to run apt-get stuff or.. ?

since every time i start a new task, the newly created VM is lacking php, composer and so on. jules install them as soon as it tries to use any command and fails, but maybe adding them there would be better

it also puts composer in a random folder each task, which is messing with my .gitignore, this time it's in bin/composer, last time it was in the root as composer.phar

[regal pewter]

goh, if ctrl+f in the code panels just worked 🙂 it would be way more easy to verify what Jules has changed

for some reason ctrl+f stops working when I cilck a code panel

[patent orbit]

at least ctrl-a works fine

so you could copy-paste in your editor of choice

extra step, but saves making a new task

[regal pewter]

yeah, true 🙂

[patent orbit]

in fact, if it wasn't for how slow it gets with lots of files and changes, a single task could carry most of a day's work

[tardy lily]

jules is great,

btw, where is the Next Prior changes ? trying to see the code diff before pushing changes, but it is missing prior/next changes button

also ctrl+f not working

[tardy lily]

from my experience with both:

• Jules is for professionals
• firebase studio is for dummies

[regal pewter]

what I like about Jules is that I can give it a task and come back in 10min/2hours (depending on task) and that I can ask to do some additional tasks so I am just left with reviewing and fine tuning the result.
especially with tasks that for me myself are hard to start with

I wonder though if the given feedback that are related to how the project is structured is stored

[patent orbit]

yeah, that's nifty

i also like starting it before i leave the office and then check after my commute from home, no being tied to a single workstation

[gritty crescent]

is anyone trying Jules with a real, prod codebase? like, not small examples but big ones.... I'm trying on my game, which is pretty big and complicated and so far it's only making me lose my patience and my time. Nothing works, needs a lot of fixes, does weird stuff...

[normal snow]

is anyone trying Jules with a real, prod

[somber thicket]

You know Jules is a prototype right? You shouldn't be doing that yet
