The AI coding agent Jules has seen significant recent updates, highlighted by the launch of Jules Tools, a new command-line interface that provides direct, scriptable control over the agent's operations. Key features of Jules Tools include listing sessions, applying work-in-progress patches locally, and integration with other command-line utilities. Separately, Jules gained a 'Memory' feature on September 30th, enabling it to save user preferences and corrections within a repository to improve subsequent task accuracy. Other notable enhancements include the ability to specify exact files for tasks, functionality to read and respond to pull request comments by pushing commits, and a temporary 'Pirate' mode for International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The team also noted that support for Google Workspace users is forthcoming later in October.
