TestingCatalog says Google has terminated the Jules AI agent

On October 30, 2026, TestingCatalog reported that Google will terminate its AI coding agent Jules. Phoenix Technology reported the same day that Google will gradually shut down Jules, which was launched in December 2024, and will integrate the experience accumulated from the tool into its AI coding platform Antigravity; Jules' official X account stated that Jules was originally an experiment exploring how asynchronous coding agents could help developers ship faster, and that its experience has already influenced multiple Google products. cnBeta reported the same day that Jules will gradually cease operations, less than two years after its launch, and that the team is integrating the experience into Antigravity so that users can both autonomously execute background tasks in remote environments and use an agent-centric development environment. The current status is gradual shutdown and experience integration.
