Google Antigravity

by Google

An agentic development platform that uses Gemini-class models to run autonomous AI “junior engineers” which plan, write, test, and explain code end-to-end.

See https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-3/

Short summary

Google Antigravity is an agentic developer platform introduced alongside Google’s Gemini 3 family. It enables developers to orchestrate autonomous AI agents that can perform high-level engineering tasks — from designing and implementing features to debugging, testing, and producing documentation — while emitting stepwise artifacts (plans, diffs, logs, screenshots) to keep humans in the loop.

History

  • Announced in November 2025 as part of the Gemini 3 launch and positioned as a step toward “AI as a work partner” rather than merely a completion tool.

  • Builds on earlier code-assist and Copilot-style tools, evolving into multi-agent, artifact-driven automation that can interact with editors, terminals, and browsers.

Purpose

  • Raise developer productivity by delegating repeatable engineering work to autonomous agents.

  • Let engineers operate at an architectural/supervisory level: define goals, review artifacts, and approve changes.

  • Provide transparent checkpoints (Artifacts) so that agent actions can be inspected and traced.

Current status (as of publishing)

  • Public preview available on major desktop platforms with model integration into the Gemini 3 family. Usage and access details are governed by Google’s preview terms and quotas.

Notable features

  • Multi-agent orchestration: run several agents in parallel or organized roles (planner, coder, tester).

  • Artifacts: each agent produces reproducible outputs — plans, code diffs, test results, screenshots, and logs — for review and auditing.

  • Editor / terminal / browser integration: agents can modify files, run commands, and perform web research or verification.

  • Manager and Editor views: both an IDE-style editor for direct interaction and a managerial dashboard for supervising agents.

  • Autonomous planning + self-verification: agents propose plans, execute them, run validations, and report findings.

  • Model-agnostic integrations: native support for Gemini-class models and broader model compatibility where available.

Superpowers

  • Accelerates feature delivery by parallelizing common engineering tasks into autonomous agents.

  • Makes routine coding, test scaffolding, and documentation generation largely hands-off while retaining human oversight through artifacts.

  • Useful for triaging bugs quickly: agents can reproduce failures, propose fixes, and supply patches with runnable tests.

Who it’s for

  • Professional software engineers and engineering teams wanting faster iteration and clearer handoffs.

  • Engineering leads and managers who want to coordinate multiple agent-driven tasks and review artifact trails.

  • Test engineers and documentation writers who can use agents to scaffold tests, reproduce issues, and prepare docs.

Controversies & concerns

  • Job displacement fears: because Antigravity can act like “junior engineers,” there are concerns about automation reducing entry-level roles.

  • Accountability & transparency: despite artifacts, there are open questions about long-term maintainability, technical debt, and hidden decision logic when agents make design choices.

  • Security & safety: giving agents ability to run commands, edit repos, or access environments increases the risk surface — proper guardrails and least-privilege controls are essential.

  • Dependence risk: teams may lose familiarity with parts of their codebase if agents do substantial amounts of work without deliberate knowledge-transfer steps.

Practical usage examples

  • Sprint task: create a UI feature — Planner agent drafts requirements and tasks; Coder agent implements components and unit tests; Tester agent runs automated checks and reports artifacts for review.

  • Bug triage: Reproducer agent isolates failing test cases and environment; Fixer agent proposes a patch and Test agent validates it; Manager reviews artifacts and merges.

  • Documentation: Doc agent inspects new code changes and generates user-facing docs and changelogs from commit diffs and code comments.

Pricing

  • As of publishing, Antigravity was announced in public preview with usage quotas. Refer to Google’s official pages for up-to-date pricing and quota details.
