GOOGLE'S "JULES" ENTERS AI CODING RACE WITH AUTONOMOUS AGENT APPROACH

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

After launching a private beta in December, Google has released Jules to the public. The Gemini 2.5-powered tool clones entire repositories, then autonomously writes tests, fixes bugs, and builds features while developers work elsewhere. The agentic coding landscape is divided between synchronous pair-programming assistants and fully independent agents like Devin and Jules.
