Google shuts down Jules AI coding agent, folds it into Antigravity
Google launched Jules in 2025 as an asynchronous AI coding agent designed to handle background dev tasks. Less than two years later, it’s being shut down.
The company confirmed on X that Jules is winding down as Google consolidates its agentic AI efforts under a single project called Antigravity. Google described Jules as an “experiment to learn how asynchronous coding agents can help developers ship faster” and says the learnings from it will carry forward into Antigravity.
What Developers Need to Know
The deadline for active sessions is November 11, 2027. After that date, Jules switches to read-only mode for existing projects. New work won’t be possible.
Google has added an export tool so developers can pull their data before the cutoff. The export captures account settings, environment variables, scheduled tasks, connected repositories, memories, setup scripts, and every session including its prompt, plan, full activity log, and code patches.
How Popular Was Jules?
Google never published usage numbers beyond noting thousands of developers tested it during the beta phase. Reaction to the shutdown announcement on X was muted at best. One commenter wrote: “Could’ve just emailed the 3 people this affects.”
Jules faced direct competition from OpenAI’s Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and a long list of other AI coding tools that have become well established with developers.
What Comes Next
Google’s focus now sits on Antigravity as its unified agentic strategy. The tooling Jules offered isn’t disappearing outright. Many of those capabilities are expected to resurface inside the Antigravity experience.
If you were using Jules, start the export process now rather than waiting for the 2027 deadline.
