Building features is fun. Finding the hardcoded port that caused your most recent deploy to fail is not. These are the menial tasks that you shouldn’t need to think about as a developer. We’re partnering with Google to help AI do them for you.
Today, we’re releasing a new integration with Jules—Google Labs’ asynchronous coding agent—so that you can seamlessly offload infrastructure debugging and deploy agent-generated code.
Autonomous debugging with Jules
Integrating Render with Jules provides your agent with the full context of Render’s platform, improving its ability to proactively plan and push infrastructure fixes without manual intervention.
As a simple example, let’s say you ask Jules to push a PR and head off for a fresh cup of coffee. Alas, your build fails while you're away. With the Jules integration enabled, Jules detects the failure and pulls the build logs:
Jules parses the logs and creates a plan:
Your project uses Vite 5.0.8 which requires Node.js 18 or higher. The build environment is running Node.js 16.20.2, causing the build to fail. Create a .node-version file that specifies Node.js version 18.
Jules executes the plan, creating a .node-version file that specifies Node.js version 18 and pushes the fix to your PR branch. The push triggers Render to retry the build and preview deployment:
Success! 🎉
Because Jules runs entirely in remote VMs and has the necessary context from Render, it autonomously fixes the version discrepancy.
This initial integration relies on signals from GitHub to trigger Jules to take action. We plan to provide a Git-independent flow in the near future, which will allow you to deploy entire projects directly to Render from Jules without context switching.
Agent-driven infrastructure
In the AI era, developers shouldn’t need to think about infrastructure. It should just work. We believe that agents are crucial to realizing that vision, which is why we’ve intentionally architected Render to support agents as first-class users in the future. Our integration with Jules is a meaningful first step toward that future.
We’re excited to share more in this space soon.
Start building with Render and Jules
All Render users can enable the Jules integration starting today. To get started, create a Render API key, and add it to your Jules account. Visit the docs for step-by-step instructions.
