Google makes programming even easier

Google has introduced a series of new tools for Jules, its artificial intelligence assistant for programming.

Jules is designed to help programmers generate code, debug, and perform testing – all with the aim of making the tool as easy to use as possible.

Keti Korevec from Google Labs shared the innovations in a blog post, including the introduction of Jules Tools, a new command-line interface (CLI), as well as a new API.

Korevec said these changes reflect the company's commitment to improving both the Jules assistant and programmer productivity, in addition to a number of smaller improvements that are already available to developers.

Google described Jules Tools as a new “lightweight” CLI that brings Jules directly to the terminal.

“This is the easiest way to move from conversation to working 'side by side' in a real work environment”, wrote Korevec.

She emphasized that the new improvements are focused on making Jules available in more countries, while previous updates focused on its reliability.
