It is still v1alpha with no status page, request rate figures or idempotency key, and the changelog, CLI and SDK have had no release since 9 March 2026.\n\n**Junie CLI.** Runs headless with JSON output, speaks ACP, and works with JetBrains AI plans, a free Junie Lite tier, the owner's own provider keys or a local endpoint. Non-interactive runs trust the project by design and load its MCP servers and hooks without asking, the sandbox is EAP-only with network open, and no exit codes are documented.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Jules\n\n1. Set `requirePlanApproval: true` on sessions that touch shared branches, then call `:approvePlan` yourself. API sessions otherwise run their plan without review\n2. Session creation has no request ID. After a timeout, list sessions and match the prompt or title before creating another\n3. Poll activities with a `create_time` filter and cache them. Activities never change once written\n4. Read the request fields from the discovery document at https://jules.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1alpha. The field tables on jules.google render empty\n5. Budget against the daily task quota of 15, 100 or 300 by plan. New sessions are refused until the rolling 24 hours reset\n\n### Junie CLI\n\n1. Run headless only in repositories you trust. One-shot and piped runs load the project's MCP servers, hooks and skills without asking\n2. Set `JUNIE_API_KEY` (from junie.jetbrains.com/cli) or a provider key such as `JUNIE_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in CI. The default sign-in opens a browser\n3. Add `--output-format json` or `--json-output-file` to parse results. Check the output, since exit codes aren't documented\n4. Pass `--share-anonymous-statistics false` if no usage statistics may leave the runner\n5. Pin a build with `--use-version` and `--skip-update-check`. The CLI updates itself on start by default\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Jules or Junie CLI?\n\nJunie CLI scores 53.2 (D) on agent readiness against Jules's 44.5 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Jules leads on schema \u0026 documentation and agent ergonomics.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/jules-vs-junie.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/jules-vs-junie.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"jules\", \"b\": \"junie\"}`.
