Render images in the diff viewer
August 22, 2025 
Jules now intelligently renders images within the diff viewer, providing an immediate visual context for your modifications.
This means:
- Instant Visual Feedback: When Jules generates images (like charts, diagrams, or web UI screenshots), you’ll see the actual image in the diff, not just its code representation.
- Streamlined Workflow: No need to switch between tools or download files to see the results. Jules keeps everything in one place.
Try it out! Ask Jules to render an output, like a graph based on data, and commit it to your repository. You’ll be able to see the generated image seamlessly within your diff viewer.
Export at any time
August 15, 2025 
You’re now in full control of when your code gets to GitHub. No need to wait for a task to finish or ask Jules to do it for you. At any point during a task, just click the GitHub icon in the top right to publish the current work-in-progress as a new branch or open a pull request. This gives you more flexibility and control to review, test, or take over whenever you’re ready.
Increasing the VM Size to 20GB
August 15, 2025 We heard your feedback about running into disk space limits on larger projects. To address this, we’ve significantly increased the available disk space in the Jules VM to 20GB. This provides more room for large dependencies, build artifacts, and complex repositories, reducing disk-related failures so Jules can tackle bigger tasks. Happy Julesing!
Jules can surf the web
August 8, 2025 
Jules can now proactively search the web for relevant content, documentation, or code snippets to help complete your tasks. This means Jules can get the information it needs, resulting in more accurate and successful task completion.
In Summary:
- Jules can find the latest documentation for dependencies/libraries you’re using
- Jules can proactively find examples or code snippets that can help inform its implementation
Note: web search works best when working on technical documentation. Queries like: “What is the latest news today?” are not supported.
Interactive Plan
August 8, 2025 
Meet Interactive Plan. Instead of jumping straight to the solution, Jules will now read your codebase, ask clarifying questions, and work with you to refine the plan. This collaborative approach gives you more control and ensures you’re on the same page, leading to higher-quality code and a more reliable solution.
In summary:
- Trigger the interactive plan from the dropdown when you start a task
- Jules will start a brainstorm with you and ask clarifying questions
Critic Agent
August 8, 2025 
Great developers don’t just write code, they question it. And now, so does Jules. We’ve built the Jules critic agent to ensure that every line of code isn’t just functional, but robust, secure, and efficient. It acts as an internal peer reviewer, challenging every proposed change to elevate the quality of the final output.
Some high level notes:
-
Critic-augmented generation: The Jules critic is integrated directly into the generation process. Every proposed change undergoes adversarial review before completion.
-
Improved code quality: The critic flags subtle bugs, missed edge cases, and inefficient code. Jules then uses this feedback to improve the patch in real-time.
-
A new kind of review: The critic is not just another linter or test. It understands the intent and context behind code, similar to a human peer reviewer.
-
Built on research: This feature draws on research into multi-step, tool interactive critiquing and actor-critic reinforcement learning, where an “actor” generates and a “critic” evaluates.

Environment snapshots for faster tasks
August 5, 2025 
Jules now creates a snapshot of your environment when you add environment setup scripts. For complicated environment, users should see faster and more consistent task execution.
In summary:
- Jules will now snapshot your environment when you provide an environment setup script
- Snapshots are loaded automatically next time you run a task
- This provides for faster task startups, especially for complex environments
- You can find environment configuration by clicking the “codebase” in the left hand panel, or by clicking the “configure environment” button in the task pane.
Open A PR directly from Jules
August 4, 2025 
Closing the loop from task to merge 🤝
Jules can now open a pull request directly from the UI.
After a task completes, just use the new dropdown next to the ‘Publish Branch’ button to open a PR. Jules will request to merge the newly published branch into main, streamlining your entire workflow. Less context switching, faster merging.
Added Bun runtime support
July 18, 2025 
Jules now supports Bun. You can run tasks using Bun out of the box, no extra setup required. This expands compatibility for projects that use Bun instead of Node.

Jules is here
May 19, 2025 
Today, we’re launching Jules, a new AI coding agent.
Jules helps you move faster by working asynchronously on tasks in your GitHub repo. It can fix bugs, update dependencies, migrate code, and add new features.
Once you give Jules a task, it spins up a fresh dev environment in a VM, installs dependencies, writes tests, makes the changes, runs the tests, and opens a pull request. Jules shows its work as it makes progress, so you never have to guess what code it’s writing, or what it’s thinking.
What Jules can do today
- Fix bugs with test verified patches
- Handle version bumps and dependency upgrades
- Perform scoped code transformations
- Migrate code across languages or frameworks
- Ship isolated, scoped, features
- Open PRs with runnable code and test results
Get started with the Jules documentation, and visit jules.google.com to run your first Jules task.
