Meet Jules: The AI Autonomous Developer on Your Team

We’re excited to kick off the Build with AI season with a special online session from GDE Konrad Clapa, introducing us to Jules.

Feel like your team is losing the battle against the daily grind? Bug backlogs, dependency hell, and endless testing are the thieves that steal your time and kill creativity. What if you could deploy a new teammate who loves the grunt work, operates at the speed of Google, and frees you to focus on building what’s next?

Get ready to meet Jules. This isn't just another code assistant; it's your autonomous AI engineering partner, powered by Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro. Jules joins your team directly within your existing GitHub workflow, ready to take on entire tasks from start to finish. Imagine your bug list getting annihilated, your legacy apps being modernized, and comprehensive tests being written while you focus on innovation.

In this "zero to hero" session, we're ditching the theory and getting straight to action. You will get savvy on commanding an AI agent to execute complex changes across your entire codebase. You will learn how to delegate the drudgery and fundamentally accelerate your release cycles. By the time you walk out, you will nail the strategy for reclaiming your team's creative firepower, transforming not just how you work, but what you're capable of building.
Konrad will stay on for a live Q&A, so bring your questions!

After the session, stick around for GDG Edinburgh announcements and a chance to connect and chat with fellow developers.
