Google Antigravity
Google's free agentic development platform where Gemini agents plan, execute, and verify tasks.
About
Agents, not files, sit at the center of Google Antigravity, the company's agent-first development platform, available at no charge in public preview on Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 or later, and Linux distributions with glibc 2.28 or newer. The product family spans an agentic IDE, a CLI, a Python SDK, and the Antigravity 2.0 agent manager, a command center where multiple Gemini-powered agents run in parallel, each autonomously planning, executing, and verifying end-to-end software tasks across editor, terminal, and browser surfaces. Browser-in-the-loop control lets agents drive web applications to test their own changes, and finished work comes back as reviewable artifacts, implementation plans, walkthroughs, and screenshots rather than raw diffs, shifting the developer's job toward review. The preview includes generous rate limits on current Gemini models, with selected third-party and open models also selectable. The platform is proprietary and closed source; paid per-run hosting for managed agents is arriving through the Gemini API, while the desktop install itself stays free as Google's flagship bid for the agentic IDE market.
Should you use Google Antigravity?
Pick it when
Pick Antigravity when you want several agents working in parallel on end-to-end tasks, including driving a browser to test their own web changes, and you are happy reviewing plans and screenshots instead of raw diffs, free during the preview.
Look elsewhere when
Skip it if you need open source, self-hosting, or settled pricing: it is a closed public preview centered on Gemini models. Cline or Kilo Code keep the agent logic open and model-agnostic, and Cursor is the more established commercial editor.
Alternatives to Google Antigravity
- Cursor
Mature commercial editor with background agents and Tab autocomplete, but paid beyond a limited free tier, where Antigravity costs nothing during its preview.
- Gemini CLI
Apache-2.0 terminal agent on the same Gemini models with Search grounding and checkpointing, but it now needs a paid API key or Code Assist license, where Antigravity is free in preview.
- Cline
Open Apache-2.0 agent that works with any cloud or local model and has its own parallel task board, where Antigravity is closed and Gemini-centered.
- Orca
MIT desktop app that runs parallel attempts of any CLI agent in isolated worktrees, so you keep model choice, but it brings no agent or model of its own.
