Google Antigravity
Also known as: Antigravity, Antigravity 2.0, AGY, Antigravity CLI, Antigravity SDK
Google's agentic development platform across a desktop app, CLI, Python SDK and IDE extensions, where agents work autonomously across editor, terminal and browser with model choice spanning Gemini, Claude and GPT-OSS.
Google Antigravity is an agentic development platform spanning four surfaces: a standalone desktop app for managing agents in parallel, a terminal CLI including a headless mode, a Python SDK for building custom agents on the Antigravity harness, and IDE extensions for VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Zed and Xcode. In public preview since November 2025 and now at 2.0, it absorbs the retired Gemini CLI.
The defining shift is the Manager surface, where users spawn, orchestrate and observe multiple agents working asynchronously across workspaces rather than supervising individual tool calls. Agents operate autonomously across the editor, terminal and a Chrome browser, so a single task can write a feature, launch the application from the terminal, then drive the browser to verify it works. Asynchronous subagents let the main agent delegate parallel background work, and a Teamwork preview coordinates agent teams.
Visual Artifacts are the platform's answer to agent opacity: implementation plans, task plans, code diffs, walkthroughs, screenshots and browser recordings are produced as reviewable reports, and users can highlight any section and leave comments to steer the agent, much like commenting in a document. Permissions ship with safe defaults, local proxying and granular tool approval gates, and browser access is bounded by allowlist, denylist and a separate Chrome profile.
Developers choose among Google's Gemini 3.x models, including Gemini 3.5 Flash, Anthropic's Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6 and OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b, and the SDK can run agents on local models. Customization runs through MCP, Skills, Rules, Workflows, Plugins, Hooks and Sidecars, with Google publishing curated bundles for Android, Firebase, Web and DeepMind science work. Enterprise deployment runs models inside the customer's own Google Cloud project under Gemini Enterprise, with selectable global, US or EU endpoints, VPC Service Controls, Workforce Identity Federation for bring your own identity, and request and response logging.

Funding status
Google product, not an independently funded company. In public preview since November 2025, now at Antigravity 2.0 (v2.11.0) with CLI v1.1.22, SDK v0.1.15 and IDE extensions v2.5.5. Absorbs the retired Gemini CLI and offers a Firebase Studio migration path.

Integrations
MCP client support across the desktop app, CLI, SDK and IDE, with Google published Chrome and Web MCP servers for autonomous browser research. The agent operates the editor, terminal and a Chrome browser as tools, and Plugins, Hooks and Sidecars extend behavior. IDE extensions cover VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Zed and Xcode, and curated Google bundles ship for Android, Firebase, Web and DeepMind science workflows.
In practice
You want an agentic coding tool that works in the editor, the terminal, and your own scripts. Google Antigravity spans desktop, CLI, and an SDK, so the agent meets your workflow.
An agent that can't see the running app guesses at front-end work. Antigravity has a built-in browser, so it can observe and act on what it builds.
You don't want to be tied to a single model in your IDE. Antigravity supports multiple models and MCP, so you connect the tools and models you choose.

| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Partial |
|
The agent reads the project's code with codebase search, rules (now with their own token budget) and installed skill bundles, and reaches outside data through MCP. Context is assembled per run, and no persistent index, graph or embeddings layer over the customer's code is named in the docs.

Permission lists with Deny over Ask over Allow make the agent pause for explicit approval before matching commands, file access, URL navigation or MCP tool use, Request Review mode confirms every command, web browsing and MCP tools prompt by default, administrators can enforce enterprise policies, and /plan lets users read and edit the plan before any code is written.

Recent platform changes
The Antigravity desktop app now has a plugin marketplace where users find, install and toggle curated plugins that bundle skills, MCP servers, rules and subagents. Plugins installed on the desktop sync to the Antigravity CLI.
Bears on: MCP / tool calling / API
View sourceGoogle Antigravity SDK 0.1.18 adds local model execution through LiteRT and local servers exposing an OpenAI compatible API. The release adds independent subagent model selection and a coding evaluation preset, enables scheduling in standard tool groups, and removes interactive questions from default tools. It also removes the deprecated modified_arguments_json hook field in favor of modified_args and consolidates compaction settings around token_threshold.
Bears on: MCP / tool calling / API
View sourceGoogle launched Antigravity Remote Control, a browser-first feature that allows developers to monitor, manage, and interact with long-running agent tasks across multiple machines. The update includes proactive push notifications to alert users when an agent requires human input to proceed.
