Google shuts down Jules, its AI coding agent, on 31 December
Sessions must finish by 11 November, after which Jules goes read-only. Google folds the work into Antigravity, and its own export guide tells you to run it from Claude Code.
Google is winding down Jules, its asynchronous AI coding agent, on 31 December 2026. The product’s own changelog gives users until 11 November to finish active sessions, after which Jules goes read-only until the final shutdown.
Jules launched in May 2025 and left beta that August. Google frames the closure as consolidating its agentic coding work into Antigravity, its newer agent-first platform. There’s no in-product migration: exporting means installing the @google/jules CLI, logging in, and running an export script for settings, scheduled tasks and session history. Code, branches and pull requests already live in GitHub and aren’t affected. The export guide’s own instructions are to open “a CLI coding agent, such as Claude Code” from your home directory and paste the export prompt there.
npm install -g @google/jules

Google isn’t offering a like-for-like replacement, it’s pointing departing users at Antigravity, and its own export flow runs through a third-party CLI agent rather than anything Google ships itself.
