Julius AI is a web based AI workspace built around data analysis: it answers plain English questions by writing and running code against files and live databases, remembers what it learns about each data source, can act in Google Ads and drive a live browser, and lets users pick among its own and third party models.

Julius AI lets people analyze data in plain English. A user uploads files or connects PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Supabase, Vertica, Google Ads, Meta Ads or cloud drives, asks a question, and Julius writes and runs code in a sandbox to return tables, charts and reports. It can also call external APIs with stored keys, and with Google Ads write access it adds keywords, changes bids and enables, pauses or deletes ads, showing each planned change for the user to approve first. A Live Browser lets it open pages, click, type into forms and move through multi step flows, handing control back at logins.

A Learning Sub Agent records what columns mean, how tables relate and the business context from conversations and feedback, scoped to each data connector and shared across a team, and users can view and manage it. Custom instructions and skill files shape its approach; Custom Agents and Notebooks have been sunset. The Model Selector offers Julius's own models alongside models from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Meta and Moonshot AI. A Slack agent answers questions in Slack. Julius has broadened into an AI workspace that also makes presentations, websites, images and video.

Teams have Owner, Admin and Member roles, team two factor enforcement, SSO and audit logs on higher plans, and data is stored and processed in the United States. Julius cannot itself be called through an API.

In practice

A startup operator uploads a sales spreadsheet, asks which products led last quarter, and Julius writes and runs the analysis and returns a chart in seconds.

A growth marketer connects Google Ads, asks Julius to find wasted spend, and approves the keyword pauses and bid changes it proposes before they are applied.

A data team connects Snowflake, and over successive conversations Julius's Learning Sub Agent records what the key columns mean and how the tables join, so later questions start with that context.
