Tried Google Jules to refine my code — it opened a PR and I merged it

Just messing around with new tools today.

I asked Google Jules to do a pretty small task: tweak the HTML and meta description based on the existing codebase. Nothing fancy.

It actually:

  • understood the project
  • made the changes
  • opened a PR by itself…and I just reviewed it and hit merge.

PR here:

Honestly, this felt surprisingly smooth for a “just testing” experiment.

What’s Google Jules?

Google Jules is Google’s AI coding agent. You connect it to a repo, give it instructions, and it can read the code, make changes, and submit pull requests for you. It’s more like a junior dev that actually opens PRs instead of just suggesting code in chat.

Not saying it replaces anything yet, but for small, scoped changes like this, it worked better than I expected. Definitely worth playing with.
