Google Shuts Down AI Coding Agent Jules, Folds Lessons into Antigravity
Google will gradually shut down Jules, the AI coding agent launched in December 2024, and fold the lessons accumulated from the tool into its AI coding platform Antigravity. According to Jules' official X account, Jules began as an experiment exploring how asynchronous coding agents could help developers ship faster, and its lessons have already influenced multiple Google products. The integrated direction is to let users both autonomously execute background tasks in remote environments and use an agent-centric development environment.

Phoenix Tech News, October 30 (Beijing time): According to tech website The Verge, Google will shut down its AI coding agent Jules and bring the lessons learned from the tool into its AI coding platform Antigravity.
In December 2024, Google launched Jules, positioning it as a tool capable of completing coding tasks that "you don't want to do yourself." Now, Google says it will gradually shut down Jules.
Below is the statement posted by Jules' official X account:
"When we launched Jules, it was an experiment to understand how asynchronous coding agents could help developers ship faster. Seeing what you built with it gave us deep insight into the future direction of agent development and directly influenced multiple products across Google.
We are working to bring the lessons accumulated from Jules into Antigravity, so users can get the best of both: the ability to autonomously execute background tasks in a remote environment, and an agent-centric development environment.
As we shift our focus to building a unified experience, Jules will gradually cease operations.
Whether you used Jules to squash bugs, write tests, or ship features — thank you for shaping the future of agentic coding." (Author/Xiao Yu)
