Google Shuts Down AI Coding Agent Jules, Folds Lessons into Antigravity
Google's AI coding agent Jules will gradually cease operations, less than two years after its launch. The official Jules X account stated that the team is integrating the experience gained from Jules into Antigravity, enabling users to autonomously execute background tasks in remote environments while also using an agent-centric development environment.

The following is a statement posted by the official Jules X account:
"When we launched Jules, it was an experiment to learn how asynchronous coding agents could help developers ship faster. Seeing what you've built with it has given us deep insight into the future direction of agent development, and has directly influenced multiple products across Google.
We are working to bring the lessons learned from Jules into Antigravity, so users can get the best of both: the ability to autonomously execute background tasks in remote environments, and an agent-centric development environment.
As we shift our focus to building a unified experience, Jules will gradually wind down operations.
Whether you used Jules to squash bugs, write tests, or ship features — thank you for shaping the future of agentic coding."
