Google with its just-introduced Jules Extension for Gemini CLI seeks to boost creative coding workflows for developers by partnering the CLI with the Jules asynchronous coding agent. Introduced October 29, the Jules extension for Gemini CLI allows developers to delegate tasks to Jules from the Gemini CLI. Jules works independently in the background to perform coding tasks like bug fixing, refactoring, and dependency updates, Google said.

One of the really interesting findings was the median date when developers started using AI tools. They found it was April 2024, which corresponds fairly neatly to Claude 3 coming out and Gemini 2.5 coming out. This is really the dawn of the reasoning or thinking models, and around that same time, we got much better at tool-calling. For coding tasks, you really need to be able to leverage external information in order to problem solve,

Intelligent issue triage is implemented through Gemini CLI, which automatically analyzes, labels, and prioritizes incoming issues, enhancing the efficiency of issue management.

Gemini CLI is a mostly free, open-source, command-line AI workflow tool that connects to your tools, understands your code, and accelerates your workflows.

Agent Mode combines familiar and novel elements, facilitating three levels of AI collaboration: conversational brainstorming, human-approved code changes, and a near-autonomous coding agent.

Traditional AI coding assistants often require switching contexts, opening new applications, or navigating complex interfaces. Gemini CLI eliminates these friction points by bringing Gemini 2.5 Pro directly to developers.
