Google will discontinue Jules, its artificial intelligence tool developed to perform programming tasks autonomously. The knowledge acquired with this service will be incorporated into other company offerings, notably Antigravity, a platform focused on software development that utilizes AI agents.
The shutdown process will be gradual. According to the official schedule released, users will have until November 11th to complete any pending tasks. After this date, Jules will operate in read-only mode until December 31st.
This decision reflects Google's efforts to consolidate its initiatives related to software development with AI agents. The Jules team communicated in a post on the X network that the learnings obtained from the product would be transferred to Antigravity.
Antigravity, launched in 2025, is conceived as a development environment designed to interact with various AI agents, enabling the delegation of activities such as code writing and test execution. Previously, Jules was distinguished by its ability to operate autonomously and in the background.
Before the definitive shutdown, users will have the option to export most of the history maintained by Jules to a local directory. This history covers account settings, environment variables, scheduled tasks, linked repositories, memories, scripts, and past sessions. It is important to note that code already submitted to GitHub will not be affected and will remain on the respective platform.
The agent was presented by Google at the end of 2024 as an experiment based on Gemini 2.0 technology. Its functionality consisted of receiving a request, developing a plan, modifying files, running tests in a virtual environment, and preparing changes for developer review. In August 2025, it moved out of the beta phase and began offering paid plans.
The end of Jules echoes what happened in May with Project Mariner, another agent created to perform tasks on the internet. Like Project Mariner, Jules will also be discontinued as an independent service, although part of its technology will be relocated to other Google projects. Thus, the movement of capability concentration occurs again in the field of programming, aiming to centralize functionalities in Antigravity instead of keeping it as an isolated product.
Jules will be deactivated less than two years after its launch. However, Google has not provided information on whether Antigravity will assume Jules' direct function nor detailed an automatic migration process for existing tasks.
