Google shuts down the Jules AI agent, with related capabilities to be merged into Antigravity
Google's Jules agent will be gradually shut down, and the experience and planned features of its asynchronous coding agent will be merged into Antigravity. Jules officially stated that after the integration, users will gain both autonomous remote background task execution and an agent-first development environment. TestingCatalog also mentioned that traces of a new Chief of Staff agent have appeared in Antigravity.

View original postWhen we launched Jules, it was an experiment to learn how asynchronous coding agents can help developers ship faster. Seeing what you built taught us so much about where agentic development is headed, directly shaping several products across @Google. We’re working on bringing our learnings from Jules into @antigravity so you get the best of both worlds: autonomous remote background task execution and an agent-first development environment. As we focus on this unified experience, Jules will be winding down. Whether you used Jules to crush bugs, write tests, or launch features— thank you for shaping the future of agentic coding! 💙🦑

Google killed Jules AI agent 💀
Its planned functionalities are about to arrive to Antigravity instead.

Antigravity already has some traces of a new “Chief of Staff” agent spotted earlier.
I feel like it was unfortunate that Jules v2 got planned at a moment when AI super apps emerged and Google had to fight back with Codex.
