Google expands Jules AI API for devs

Presented by

☕ Good morning,

Sometimes progress is less about innovation and more about finally doing the obvious thing that everyone's been working around for years.

Making tools that integrate where people already work instead of forcing them to adapt to new workflows. Creating communities around genuine interests instead of engagement metrics. Building security that actually secures things.

_{—Here’s to the first sip.}

Google adds CLI and API to Jules AI

Google is giving its AI coding agent Jules a bigger role in developer workflows with a new command-line interface and public API. Instead of being limited to the web or GitHub, Jules can now plug into terminals, CI/CD pipelines, and even tools like Slack, letting developers stay in their environment while offloading tasks.

Jules is different from Google’s Gemini CLI, it’s built for scoped, independent jobs rather than back-and-forth collaboration. With the new API, devs can integrate Jules into IDEs like VS Code, and Google is already working on plug-ins and support beyond GitHub.

Jules has also picked up features like memory, better diff viewing, image uploads, and PR comment handling, signaling Google’s push to make it a professional coding tool. Engineers are using it to expand projects that started on lighter “vibe coding” platforms, and now with structured pricing plans, Jules is being positioned as a serious assistant for real development work.

Threads launches communities for topic-based feeds

Threads is rolling out communities, a new feature on web and mobile that creates dedicated spaces for people to dive into their favorite topics from basketball and K-pop to books, TV shows, and AI.

Joining a community gives you a feed centered on that interest, a badge on your profile showing your membership, and pinned posts from the group in your menu. The setup feels a bit like Reddit channels or X’s communities, with a mix of posts made directly to the space and content related to the theme. Threads is even adding custom emojis for likes, such as a stack of books for book lovers.

Not every topic has a community yet, but more are coming. Meta also plans to highlight the most active members with badges and tweak ranking so communities feel more relevant inside the For You feed.

STARTUP BAR
Oneleet to reinvent security compliance

Bryan Onel, once an ethical hacker, grew frustrated seeing companies win security certifications while still being easy targets. In 2022, he co-founded Oneleet with his wife Ora and friend Erik Vogelzang to fix that. Unlike traditional compliance platforms that just generate paperwork, Oneleet bundles real security tools like penetration testing, code scanning, cloud protection, and training into one system, then pairs it with audits for certification.

The idea is gaining traction. Oneleet has hit $9 million in annual recurring revenue and just raised a $33 million Series A led by Dawn Capital, with support from Y Combinator, Dropbox co-founder Arash Ferdowsi, and ex-Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman. Two-thirds of YC’s newest startups are already using the platform.

With AI making cyberattacks easier and even helping fake compliance, Onel says Oneleet’s focus is building defenses that work quietly in the background. The new funding will grow its engineering team, expand AI features, and help more companies move beyond compliance theater.
