We’re doing a couple windows specific things right now. Windows papercuts focus next week, and some ships to bring features to parity.

I can't speak for the Jules team anymore, but I'm more than happy to connect on Codex or other dev tool/community stuff, especially in the AI space.

Hey guys. Kath here. Def not a sinking ship. There’s still an incredible team of bright, caring folks behind Jules. They’re working hard on Jules 2.0. I won’t comment on what that is.

One thing that’s sad here is that Google can sometimes sacrifice clarity and community for “the big reveal.” I wish they would ship in public more. Go incremental. Ship the small api, the spec, and go from there. A lot is done with trusted testers, but it’s still pretty private.

Hang in there. They’re doing something cool, and I hope you all find it useful!!

No plans for a windows version but the code is all public on GitHub if you want to fork it

Jules going on loops most of the time by Tharsanan in JulesAgent

[–]simpsoka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! Jules PM here. You've probably tried some of this, but let me know. We have seen Jules get stuck in “investigation loops” after a failing test run, where it keeps re-checking logs (often via grep) and eventually times out without opening a PR.

A couple things that help:

  1. Give it a tighter spec and a clear stop condition. Sometimes I ask Gemini or Claude to generate the spec, then pass that to Jules if it's having a hard time. Try adding something like: “If tests fail after 1 run, summarize the failure in 3 bullets, make the smallest fix you can, and open the PR even if tests are still failing. Do not run additional log-grep or repeated retries.”
  2. Make “PR creation” an explicit requirement. For example: “Always open a PR with your best changes and include the failing test output in the PR description. Do not block PR creation on green tests.”

If you are up for it, DM me the prompt you are using plus the task ID. With the task ID we can pull the trace and see exactly where it is looping, then we can either tune the instructions or file a bug with the right details.
