Google kills off Jules, its AI coding agent which promised to do all the jobs you didn't want to
Google is shuttering Jules after less than two years – and not even 18 months under general availability – but it's not the end.
Google is discontinuing Jules, its AI coding assistant launched in 2025, as it shifts its focus towards a unified agentic AI strategy under Antigravity. Users have until November 11, 2027, to complete their Jules projects before it transitions to read-only mode. The company has announced an export process to aid developers in transferring their work from Jules to Antigravity.
While Jules offered tools like account settings, environment variables, and scheduled tasks, its popularity among developers remained unclear. Despite a beta phase with thousands of testers, Jules faced competition from other AI coding agents such as OpenAI's Codex, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot. Google will leverage the insights gained from Jules to improve its future agentic AI efforts.
