Google Jules review

Jules is the easiest agent here to try and the hardest to roll out to a company. Google's docs describe a simple flow: sign in with a Google account, connect GitHub, pick a repository and branch, and write a prompt. Jules clones the code into a cloud VM, installs dependencies, proposes a plan you approve and then produces a diff and a pull request. You can also label a GitHub issue with jules to assign it, add an AGENTS.md file for context, schedule tasks and use the Jules Tools CLI or REST API. The free plan allows 15 tasks a day with 3 running at once, and Jules in Pro and Ultra, bundled with Google AI Pro and Ultra, raise that to 100 and 300. It ranks last because paid plans are currently limited to personal @gmail.com accounts, so business teams have to fill out an interest form, and Google still calls the product experimental. We could not confirm a USD price for the Google AI plans from our location.
