"From 'Zero to Conversation' to 'Narrow and Deep Automation': Differentiating Jules and Gemini CLI in the Intensifying AI Tools Market"

Google's AI coding agent "Jules" has made a significant entry into the development field with the CLI "Jules Tools" and a public API. Positioned as an "asynchronous companion," it can initiate and monitor tasks from the terminal and automatically deliver PRs by integrating with Slack and CI/CD. Recently, practical improvements have been made, such as "memory" and file specification, as well as environment variable management. The pricing includes a free tier (15 tasks per day/concurrent 3) and tiered Pro/Ultra options. On Hacker News, opinions are mixed, with some saying the subscription model is complex and the quality is still improving. Meanwhile, competitors like Salesforce are also entering the fray, marking a shift from "experiment" to "implementation" in agent-driven development.
