Google Antigravity

Google Antigravity is a next-generation, AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE) designed by Google to redefine software development through autonomous AI agents.



Rather than acting as a simple code suggester, Antigravity for PC embeds multiple intelligent agents capable of autonomously planning, executing, verifying, and iterating on complex development tasks across editor, terminal, and browser contexts.

It was announced and released in public preview in November 2025 alongside Google’s Gemini 3 AI models.



Main Features

Agent-First Architecture: Autonomous AI agents that manage coding tasks end-to-end — from planning to execution and verification.

Multi-Model Support: Works with Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet, and open-source GPT-OSS, offering flexibility in AI backends.

Editor View: Traditional IDE interface familiar to developers, with side panels for agent interaction.

Agent Manager View: Centralized control for orchestrating and monitoring multiple agents operating in parallel.

Artifacts Generation: Agents produce verifiable outputs such as plans, task lists, screenshots, and recordings for transparency.

Integrated Browser and Terminal: Agents can run commands, test code, and interact with applications directly inside the IDE.

Project Automation: Supports high-level natural language prompts that translate into task plans and executable code.

User Interface

The interface of Google Antigravity blends traditional IDE design with agent-centric controls.



The Editor view resembles popular code editors with file explorers, code panes, and agent sidebars for issuing commands or viewing agent status.

The Agent Manager view functions as a control dashboard where multiple agents, workspaces, and tasks are displayed with progress indicators and artifact logs.

Visual feedback such as screenshots and browser recordings appears directly inside the interface, helping developers track agent actions in real time.

Installation and Setup

Download Preview Version: Visit the official Antigravity website and download the installer for your operating system.
