On October 29, 2026, Google announced in the Jules changelog that it would shut down Jules, its asynchronous coding agent. The entry, titled Jules Turndown, explained that the wind down was part of unifying Google's agentic coding efforts, set out the dates and described how users could export their data.

Key dates

October 29, 2026: Google announced the wind down of Jules.
November 11, 2026: the date until which users could keep working in sessions, after which Jules became read-only.
December 31, 2026: the date on which Jules would wind down.

How the export worked

The export covered account settings, environment variables, scheduled tasks, connected repositories, memories, setup scripts and every session, including prompt, plan, log and patches. It ran through Jules Tools, which users installed with npm install -g @google/jules and authenticated with jules login. Code, branches and pull requests stayed on GitHub.

What it meant for builders

Google retired a standalone coding agent and consolidated on Antigravity, so people who built with Jules had to migrate. Google said what it learned from Jules was shaping Google Antigravity. Jules became read-only after November 11, 2026, and Jules Tools was the route Google provided for taking sessions, memories and setup scripts out of the product.
