Jules: how many tokens per task, and what does it cost?
Jules publishes no per-task cost or token figure in the AgentBurn index. AgentBurn snapshot 2026-10-27. Every figure carries a provenance label: source-backed, derived, or left empty when no public basis exists.
What it is. Google's async coding agent that clones repos and returns diffs without a laptop
Jules takes an assigned task, spins up a cloud VM with a clone of the repository, plans the change, edits and tests the code, then hands back a patch or pull request asynchronously. It is built for background work: you queue a task, close the tab, and review a diff later against a Google account quota rather than a per-token meter.
