When you give Julius a task, it takes actions, not only text replies. Each action is a tool: running code, querying a database, searching the web, building a slide deck. You’ll see each step labeled in the chat as it happens, like Generated code, Searched internet, or Created slides. Expand any step to see what Julius did. You never invoke these yourself. Julius decides which tools to use based on your request, your model, your plan, and the data you’ve connected.
Tools also drive your credit usage. Running code, searching the web, or generating a deck costs more than a simple text answer.

​
Core tools

​
Run code

The tool behind most of what Julius does. Julius writes Python or R and runs it in a secure cloud container to clean data, run analysis, build models, and produce charts. Code runs automatically, and Julius installs any libraries it needs. In the chat this appears as Generating code → Generated code. You can read the code, copy it, and see its output inline.

​
Edit files (apply patch)

When Julius works with files or code, it can make surgical edits instead of rewriting everything, changing only the lines that need to change. Long files and scripts stay intact as it iterates. In the chat this appears as Editing file → Edited file, with a diff of what changed.

​
Build visualizations

Julius generates interactive charts from your data (bar, line, scatter, and more) that you can hover and read in the browser. For static charts, see Data visualizations. For full dashboards and apps, see Interactive artifacts. In the chat this appears as Generating visualization → Generated visualization.

​
Create presentations

Julius builds a complete presentation from a prompt, file, research, or analysis. It can create the story, charts, visuals, layout, and styling, then deliver the presentation as HTML, PowerPoint, PDF, PNG, Google Slides, or another useful format. In the chat this appears as Creating slides → Created slides. See AI Presentation Maker for prompting tips, templates, formats, and sharing options.

​
Build websites

Julius creates websites and web apps from plain-language instructions. It writes the page, previews it in the browser, and lets you refine the copy, design, and interactions in chat before publishing it to a shareable link. Open the Build Website tab or ask for a website in any conversation. See AI Website Builder.

​
Generate images

Julius can create and edit images from a description: diagrams, illustrations, or visuals for a deck or report. In the chat this appears as Generating image → Generated image.

​
Generate videos

Julius can prompt to make videos from scratch or animate your images directly. Use it for short clips, animated explainers, or bringing a static chart or image to life. Accessible through the Video tab in the chat interface. In the chat this appears as Generating video → Generated video.

​
Working with your data

​
Query connected databases

When you’ve connected a database or warehouse, Julius writes and runs SQL against it directly. That covers Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and more. You’ll see steps like Querying BigQuery → Queried BigQuery. See Data Connectors.

​
Explore your schema

Before querying an unfamiliar database, Julius can search the schema to find the right tables and columns, so it writes correct SQL instead of guessing. This shows up as Searching schema and Looked up schema.

​
Pull financial and market data

For finance questions, Julius can pull market and financial datasets (prices, fundamentals, filings, and macro data) and analyze them like any other source. This appears as Querying financial data → Queried financial data.

​
Research & assistance tools

​
Search the web

Julius can search the internet to pull in current information your data doesn’t contain, like context, definitions, or recent events. This appears as Searching internet → Searched internet.

​
Write reports

Julius can produce a long-form, structured report from your conversation and revise it section by section. See Reports.

​
Ask you a question

When a request is ambiguous, Julius may pause to ask you a quick clarifying question rather than guess, so the work matches what you wanted.
The available tools vary by model, plan, and the data sources you’ve connected. The list above is what Julius can do, not a fixed menu shown every time.
