Google is giving developers a boost with Jules, its new AI-powered coding assistant. After intensive testing since May, Jules is set up to help you clip away mundane tasks, much like Anthropic’s Claude Code, but with a smoother, more intuitive edge. Running on the Gemini 2.5 platform, it offers simple controls, the ability to reuse tasks, and visual cues that make testing web apps clearer.
In parallel, Gemini CLI GitHub Actions is here to integrate seamlessly with your GitHub repositories. This free tool automates routine developer work—it responds to new issues or pull requests by operating quietly in the background, adapts to each project’s needs, and manages credentials dynamically, all while tracking activity with OpenTelemetry.
If you’ve ever struggled with repetitive coding chores, these tools might just make your day-to-day work a bit lighter. They’re designed to let you spend more time on creative problem-solving, not on the nitty-gritty of routine tasks.
