The company confirmed in an X post that "Jules will be winding down" while it "focus[es] on [the] unified experience" that is Antigravity. While Jules itself as a product will be shuttered, with Google describing it as an "experiment to learn how asynchronous coding agents can help developers ship faster," many of the tools it offered will live on under Google's Antigravity project.

The company has also introduced an export process to help developers move out of the platform.

"You can now export everything Jules knows about your work into a local folder: account settings, environment variables, scheduled tasks, connected repositories, memories, setup scripts, and every session, including its prompt, plan, full activity log, and code patches," a more detailed announcement confirms.

The decision may not come as a surprise to all the platform didn't seem especially popular among developers. "Could've just emailed the 3 people this affects," one comment on X reads.

Google never shared details of how popular Jules was, but it did boast of thousands of developers testing it during the beta phase. Still, Jules will have likely faced stiff competition from OpenAI's Codex and Claude Code, as well as GitHub Copilot and a long list of others. Are you a pro?
