Jules ranks seventh and is the best free way to try task delegation. You pick a GitHub repository and branch and write a prompt, or add a jules label to an issue. Jules clones the code to a cloud VM, writes a plan with Gemini for you to approve, shows a diff and then creates a pull request. The free plan allows 15 tasks in a rolling 24 hours with 3 running at once on Gemini 2.5 Pro. Jules in Pro, included with Google AI Pro at $19.99 a month, raises that to 100 tasks and 15 concurrent with higher access to Gemini 3 Pro, and Jules in Ultra allows 300 tasks and 60 concurrent. Scheduled tasks, suggested tasks, a CLI and a REST API round out the product. The limits are real for teams: paid plans currently only work with individual @gmail.com accounts, and the workflow is built around GitHub repositories.
