Google sets 31 December 2026 shutdown for Jules coding agent

Google announced on 29 October 2026 that its asynchronous GitHub coding agent Jules will turn read-only on 11 November 2026 and shut down permanently on 31 December 2026 as agentic development consolidates into Google Antigravity.

Jules operated as a background cloud agent that cloned GitHub repositories into isolated virtual machines to resolve issues, write tests, and open pull requests asynchronously. In its turndown notice, Google stated that architectural lessons and background execution patterns from Jules are being unified directly into Google Antigravity rather than maintained as a standalone web product.

Active Jules users can finish running tasks until 11 November 2026, when new task creation stops and workspaces enter read-only mode ahead of full deletion after 31 December 2026. To preserve project state, Google shipped an export command in the Jules Tools CLI that downloads account settings, environment variables, scheduled tasks, connected repository metadata, repository memories, environment setup scripts, and complete session logs and diff patches to local folders. Google has not announced automated cloud migration of saved Jules memories into Antigravity.
