A New Era in AI-Assisted
Software Development

Every advancement in model intelligence for coding has encouraged us to rethink how development should be done. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of today is a far cry from the IDE of just a few years ago. Gemini 3, our most intelligent model, represents a step-change for agentic coding, and requires us to think about what the next step-change of an IDE should be.

Today, we introduce Google Antigravity, our new agentic development platform. Powered by Gemini 3, Google's latest and most advanced AI model, Antigravity delivers a familiar AI-powered IDE experience while evolving towards an agent-first future. With browser control capabilities, asynchronous interaction patterns, and an agent-first product form factor, Gemini 3 enables agents to autonomously plan and execute complex, end-to-end software tasks.

Unlike traditional IDEs or even first-generation AI coding assistants, Antigravity treats agents as first-class citizens. Agents don't just suggest code - they plan entire features, execute across multiple surfaces (editor, terminal, browser), verify their own work, and learn from your feedback to continuously improve.

Core Design Principles

Four key tenets that make Antigravity the most advanced AI IDE available today

🛡️ Trust Through Transparency

Antigravity provides context on agentic work at a more natural task-level abstraction, with the necessary and sufficient set of artifacts and verification results, for you to gain trust.

✓ Task-level visibility
✓ Verification walkthroughs
✓ Browser-based testing

⚡ True Autonomy

Agents can operate across all surfaces simultaneously and autonomously, with a form factor that exposes this autonomy optimally and allows you to interact asynchronously.

✓ Cross-surface operation
✓ Async execution
✓ Agent Manager dashboard

💬 Intuitive Feedback

Intuitive async user feedback across every surface and Artifact, whether it be Google-doc-style comments on text or select-and-comment feedback on screenshots.

✓ Google Docs-style comments
✓ Visual artifact feedback
✓ Real-time guidance

🧠 Continuous Learning

Antigravity treats learning as a core primitive, with agent actions both retrieving from and contributing to a knowledge base for continuous improvement.

✓ Knowledge base system
✓ Pattern recognition
✓ Workflow optimization

📋 Task-based Workflow in Action

View the Agent's task list, review the implementation plan post-research and pre-implementation, or scan the walkthrough at completion. Everything is transparent and verifiable.

🤖 Autonomous Multi-Surface Operation

Watch how an Antigravity Agent autonomously writes code for a new frontend feature, uses the terminal to launch localhost, and actuates the browser to test that the new feature works - all without manual intervention.

🎛️ Agent Manager Dashboard

Spawn an Agent to do background research in a different workspace while focusing on a more involved task in the foreground. Use the Inbox and side panel to be notified of progress across all your agents.

💬 Seamless Feedback Integration

See examples of feedback on textual Artifacts (like implementation plans) and visual Artifacts (like screenshots taken by the Agent). Guide your agent just like you'd comment on a Google Doc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Google Antigravity IDE

Q: Is Google Antigravity really free?

A: Yes! Google Antigravity is 100% free during the public preview with generous rate limits on Gemini 3 Pro usage. You can use all features at no cost.

Q: How is Antigravity different from Cursor or Windsurf?

A: Antigravity is the only AI IDE with: (1) Built-in browser automation, (2) Multi-agent orchestration via Agent Manager, (3) Powered by Google's latest Gemini 3 model, and (4) Completely free. See our detailed comparison table.

Q: What AI models does Antigravity support?

A: Antigravity supports three powerful models: Gemini 3 Pro (Google's latest), Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Anthropic), and GPT-OSS (OpenAI's open-source models). You can switch between them based on your needs.

Q: What are the system requirements?

A: Mac: macOS 12+ (Monterey or later). Windows: Windows 10 64-bit or later. Linux: glibc >= 2.28, glibcxx >= 3.4.25 (Ubuntu 20+, Debian 10+, Fedora 36+, RHEL 8+).

Q: Can I import my settings from VS Code or Cursor?

A: Yes! Antigravity is built on VS Code, so you can easily import your settings, extensions, and keybindings from VS Code or Cursor. Your familiar development environment carries over seamlessly.

Q: What is the "Agent Manager" feature?

A: The Agent Manager is a unique feature that lets you run multiple AI agents simultaneously across different workspaces. For example, one agent can research APIs while another builds your frontend - all managed from a single dashboard. No other AI IDE has this capability.

Q: How does browser integration work?

A: Antigravity includes an integrated Chrome browser that agents can control directly. After writing code, agents can automatically launch your app, interact with it in the browser, take screenshots, and verify functionality - all without leaving the IDE.

Q: Is my code data private and secure?

A: Yes. Google Antigravity follows Google's privacy and security standards. Your code is processed to provide AI assistance but is not used to train models. Review the Privacy Policy for complete details.

Q: What programming languages are supported?

A: Antigravity supports all major programming languages including JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, and more. If VS Code supports it, Antigravity supports it.

Q: How do rate limits work?

A: Google provides "generous rate limits" that refresh every 5 hours. Most developers will never hit these limits during normal use. If you do, you'll get clear notifications and can continue after the refresh period.
