How does this compare to Jules from Google?

Jules is similar to Twill with the following differences: - Twill is CLI-agnostic, meaning you can use Claude Code, Codex or Gemini. Jules only works with Gemini. - We focus on the delegation experience: Twill has native integrations with your typical stack like Slack or Linear. The PRs comes back with proofs of work, such as screenshots or videos.

That's very interesting, thank you!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's literally just GitHub agents?

Yes, broadly. The main structural difference is that we’re agent-agnostic, so we can combine lab-native CLIs in one workflow. GitHub will likely struggle there because they have direct partnerships with Anthropic and OpenAI. On the features themselves, we have a better UX across integrations, and more advanced features like video recording.

This seems like a weak argument. GitHub is already agent (not just model) agnostic, they have Copilot and Claude Code. I just don't see how this is a business, sorry.

I’ve been developing an open-source version of something similar[1] and used it quite extensively (well over 1k PRs)[2]. I’m definitely believer of the “prompt to PR model”. Very liberating to not have to think about managing the agent sessions. Seems that you have built a lot of useful tooling (e.g., session videos) around this core idea. Couple of learnings to share that I hope could be of use: 1) Execution sandbox…

Very cool indeed. I'm building something similar with a more minimal setup: https://github.com/lkoelman/githueber . The goal is to have a local daemon watching your github projects and spawning resumable sessions in OpenCode|Claude|Codex , so you can drop in and pick up. Will check out your repo for the Claude side.
