Google Antigravity is an AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Google, designed as an "agent-first" platform for software development. Announced on November 18, 2025 alongside the release of Gemini 3, Antigravity enables developers to delegate complex coding tasks to autonomous AI agents powered primarily by Google's Gemini 3 Pro model. [1] The platform is built as a fork of Visual Studio Code and supports multiple AI models, including Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 and open-source variants of OpenAI models. [2]

Antigravity was released in public preview on the day of its announcement and is available free of charge for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux, with "generous rate limits" for Gemini 3 Pro usage. [3]

Features

Antigravity introduces an "agent-first" paradigm, shifting from traditional AI code assistance to a system where AI agents operate with greater autonomy. It features two primary views:

To build user trust, agents generate "Artifacts" - verifiable deliverables such as task lists, implementation plans, screenshots, and browser recordings - rather than raw tool calls. [5] Agents have direct access to the editor, terminal, and a integrated browser, and can learn from previous interactions. [6]
