Details
- Antigravity is a new platform from Google DeepMind where autonomous AI agents assist across code editors, command-line terminals, and web browsers.
- The platform uses two proprietary models: Gemini 3 Pro for complex reasoning and Gemini 2.5 “Computer Use” for actions such as file editing, building, and live debugging.
- Agents keep track of project files, shell states, and browser tabs, enabling planning, coding, testing, and documentation without manual hand-offs.
- A public preview is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux at no cost; usage is free during the beta period and metered.
- The platform is IDE-agnostic but includes first-party extensions for VS Code and JetBrains, plus a CLI wrapper for DevOps integration.
- Security features include permissions for sensitive commands and audit logs to review all agent actions, addressing safety concerns around autonomous tools.
Impact
This launch escalates competition with Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot Workspace and Replit’s Ghostwriter, signaling a shift toward agents that perform tasks end-to-end. By offering a free, unrestricted preview, Google aims to attract developers away from subscription-based coding copilots. Antigravity's design may also become a benchmark for compliance as regulations like the EU AI Act loom, shaping industry standards regarding safety and accountability.
