What replaces Google Jules?
Short answer: Google Antigravity. Google is winding Jules down as part of unifying its coding-agent work, and says what it learned from Jules is shaping Antigravity, its agent-first coding platform. Jules goes read-only after Nov 11, 2026 and shuts down Dec 31, 2026.
What to do: Finish any Jules sessions by Nov 11, 2026 and use Google's export if you want your Jules settings and history. Your code, branches and pull requests are already in GitHub and stay there.
