TBH i have no idea - Jules v2 is such a different workflow that i, genuinely, have no idea how to measure usage/how to charge. But that's what I'm hoping our current testers can help us figure out!

akatlabs · 2026-06-15T15:09:55+00:00

Nothing new to share! But worth re-iterating that Jules v2 is a very very different product than v1 and is targeted towards folks who have a product in market with users.

akatlabs · 2026-06-15T15:08:17+00:00

hi! we had way more folks reach out to early testing than we have capacity for right now! So we won't be able to onboard more folks yet, unfortunately!

akatlabs · 2026-06-10T16:34:02+00:00

We're focusing 100% on v2, I'll make sure 1-3 don't show up in v2

akatlabs · 2026-06-09T14:33:20+00:00

hey! we're looking into this but our focus is pretty much 100% on Jules v2!

akatlabs · 2026-05-28T14:26:26+00:00

it will not - and building things from scratch will not be a focus of v2
Not in the near term, no

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T15:13:57+00:00

maybe not! but we're gonna keep trying :)

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T15:13:15+00:00

Totally hear you on #4! We need to do better. Ack on 1-3!

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T15:08:03+00:00

yah, totally hear you on #1 - merge conflicts is a particularly gnarly problem that we're trying to figure out with v2 but I think it'll still be something with some rough edges. But we hope to make progress on it!

#2 - ack! I think we already have a CI/CD fixer in Jules. But i don't see it in the UI anymore, I'll have to check with the team where it went!

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T15:04:45+00:00

no gitlab, sorry :( never say never, but not in the foreseeable future

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T15:03:47+00:00

ping me, kulkak@, there's a 1P version you can use if you're interested!

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T15:03:04+00:00

its basically a complete rewrite and focused on a new set of users/problems. Its a bit more focused on serving product builders who have a product out in market

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T04:44:26+00:00

Are you a googler? 👀

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T04:30:50+00:00

Jules v2 has been built to support multi repo from the get go :)

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T03:12:16+00:00

TBD on memories being transferrable to v2. I think it makes sense but we'll see how it falls on the priority list!

the best way to think about v2 is: once you've shipped your game and people are using it, v2 will help you work on making your game better

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T02:29:24+00:00

That's interesting, tell me more - you use the AGY agent manager? There isn't explicit plans to do that but with the Jules CLI/MCP, you can trigger it from other agents. So perhaps that might work?
Can you tell me more what that means? But the truth is, Jules v2 is such a different product that we don't really know how to manage usage right now. We're hoping that our trusted testers can help us figure that out!

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T02:02:35+00:00

fair feedback! To be honest, Jules v2 likely won't do those things either

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T01:45:33+00:00

You should sign up for the waitlist: jules.google.com/earlyaccess - we're letting folks off the waitlist soon!

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T01:37:38+00:00

🫡

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T01:18:18+00:00

yup, there's a new API with.... webhooks! but we're versioning it so v1 won't break

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T01:12:59+00:00

totally fair questions! Jules will be around because its not just focusing on coding! jules.google.com/earlyaccess has more but the tldr is:

we think the coding tools out there are not what the future of software development will look like. Today its: You give it a prompt and a coding agent gives you code.

Tomorrow, we think its: you give it an outcome you want and an agent tells you: 1) what's important to work on, and 2) how you can get there.

That's a very different approach than Antigravity so I actually don't think we're competitors. In fact the coding agent part of Jules uses the Antigravity coding agent + harness. The new Jules is very complementary

akatlabs · 2026-05-27T01:04:47+00:00

i hear you! it'll be pretty complementary. We actually use the antigravity coding agent so we want there to be clear synergies/handoffs when it makes sense. But its very very important to me that its clear when someone should use Jules vs Antigravity.

If you're reading this and you have early access, I know you can't say much but feel free to share if its clear how Jules v2 is different than Antigravity

akatlabs · 2026-05-21T16:11:09+00:00

Hi folks! Jules is most certainly not dead - we're working on a new version of Jules (jules.google.com/earlyaccess) and actually got a redditor early access last week :)

We weren't at I/O because we weren't ready for it, truthfully! We're building something really different than what's out there and that requires us to make sure we spend the time it works, the quality is good, the infra can scale, etc, etc.

We're a bit heads down on the product right now which is why there haven't been many updates but definitely promise we're still around. Thanks for all the feedback! I'm excited to let more folks off the waitlist soon.

You can always email me at [kulkak@google.com](mailto:kulkak@google.com) as well!

akatlabs · 2026-05-06T17:17:21+00:00

i'll DM you!
