Google Jules vs Antigravity
Google Jules and Google Antigravity side by side: status, plans, where tasks run and the command line.
Google is winding Jules down. Jules becomes read-only after November 11, 2026 and winds down on December 31, 2026. Google says it is unifying its coding agents, and names Antigravity as one of the products shaped by what Jules taught it.
If you are choosing a Google coding agent now, Antigravity is generally available (as of November 2026) and has a free plan. If you use Jules, export your data first with the Jules Tools command line. Your code and pull requests stay in GitHub.
Good for
- Developers who use Jules and need to know what happens next
- Developers choosing a Google coding agent today
- People with Jules sessions and settings they want to keep
- Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers who get both included
Side by side
Our advice: do not start new work on Jules, since Google is ending it. Use Antigravity if you want a Google coding agent.
| Option | Google Jules | Google Antigravity |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Winds down Dec 31, 2026 | Generally available |
| Where tasks run | Cloud virtual machine | Local agents on your computer |
| Starts from | A GitHub repo and branch | Your workspaces |
| Free plan | Yes, 15 tasks a day | Yes, $0 |
| Paid plans | Google AI Pro, Ultra | Google AI Pro, Ultra |
| Command line | Jules Tools | Antigravity CLI |
| Project instruction file | AGENTS.md | Rules |
Which to pick
Our advice: do not start new work on Jules, since Google is winding it down on December 31, 2026. If you use it, export your data before it goes read-only on November 11. If you want a Google coding agent, Antigravity is generally available.
The limit on each side: Jules is ending, and Antigravity is a different tool, so its workflow will not match Jules one to one.
Best for
- Jules: finishing sessions already in progress before November 11, 2026
- Jules: exporting settings, memories and session history with Jules Tools
- Antigravity: Google AI Pro or Ultra subscribers who want an agent included
- Antigravity: anyone who wants a free start with Google's agent platform
Skip it if
- Jules: you want to rely on it past 2026, since Google is winding it down
- Antigravity: you want each task to run in a cloud virtual machine, as Jules does; Antigravity's app is described as managing local agents
Questions
Is Google Jules shutting down?
Yes. Google says Jules will wind down on December 31, 2026. You can finish sessions until November 11, 2026, after which Jules is read-only until the end of the year.
Is Antigravity replacing Jules?
Google does not say that. Its notice says Jules is winding down as part of unifying its agentic coding efforts, and that what Jules taught it is shaping products including Antigravity.
How do I export my data from Jules?
Install Jules Tools with the npm package @google/jules, run jules login, then follow the export prompt in the Jules turndown notice. The export covers settings, scheduled tasks, repos, memories, setup scripts and every session.
Will I lose my code when Jules shuts down?
No. Google says your code, branches and pull requests already live in GitHub and stay where they are. The export covers the configuration and history inside Jules.
Is Jules free?
There is a free plan with 15 tasks a day and 3 at once. Jules in Pro (included with Google AI Pro) allows 100 a day, and Jules in Ultra 300 a day. This only applies until Jules ends.
Is Antigravity free?
Yes, there is a $0 plan with basic weekly rate limits. Google AI Pro ($19.99 a month) and Ultra ($99.99 or $199.99) add higher limits and more models, as of November 2026.
What is the difference between Jules and Antigravity?
Jules runs each task in a cloud virtual machine against a GitHub repo and branch. Antigravity's app manages several local agents on your computer, with a CLI, IDE extensions and an SDK also available.
Does Jules train on my private repos?
No. Google's FAQ says Jules does not train on private repository content.
Does Antigravity support MCP?
Yes. Antigravity supports MCP across its products. See what MCP is. For a comparison with another coding agent, see Antigravity vs Codex.
