Google will wind down Jules on December 31, and sessions end November 11

Google's notice says Jules will wind down on December 31, 2026, "as part of our work to unify our agentic coding efforts." Users have until November 11 to finish sessions, after which Jules becomes read-only through the end of the year. Google describes Jules as an experiment in how asynchronous coding agents could "tackle your backlog," and says what it learned is shaping products across Google, including Google Antigravity. The notice does not say that Antigravity replaces Jules.

Google is offering an export through its Jules Tools command line package. The export covers account settings, environment variables, scheduled tasks, connected repositories, memories, setup scripts, and every session with its prompt, plan, activity log and code patches. Code, branches and pull requests stay in GitHub. The notice warns that the environment variable file holds the values themselves, so the export folder should stay out of your repositories. We read the notice but did not run the export.

Why it matters: If a pipeline of yours hands backlog work to Jules, the setup scripts, test commands and memories that shaped its output live inside the service, and the export is the only route Google documents for getting them out. That leaves 13 days before sessions stop. The same configuration is worth keeping as files in your own repository, whichever agent runs next.
