Google Antigravity is an Agent-First AI IDE developed by Google, built on VS Code with Gemini 3 integration. Unlike traditional AI coding tools, Antigravity features a Mission Control dashboard for managing multiple autonomous agents in parallel workspaces.

Key Features

Three-Surface Architecture:

  1. Editor Surface: Multi-file edits, code analysis
  2. Terminal Surface: Shell command execution (npm, git, build tools)
  3. Browser Surface: Integrated browser for visual verification (localhost inspection, screenshots)

Gemini 3 Integration:

  • Gemini 3 Pro: 1M+ token context for repo-scale reasoning
  • Gemini 3 Flash: Low-latency for rapid iteration
  • Deep Think: Extended reasoning for complex architectural decisions

Agent Manager (Mission Control):

  • Spawn parallel agents (Refactor auth, Investigate CI test, Update README)
  • Dashboard view of agent status
  • Asynchronous execution (developer reviews, AI executes)

MCP Integration:

  • Database connections (PostgreSQL, Supabase, MongoDB)
  • Cloud infrastructure (GCP, BigQuery, Cloud Run)
  • Collaboration tools (GitHub, Linear, Slack, Notion)

Hardware Requirements:

  • macOS: Apple Silicon only (M1/M2/M3/M4), Intel unsupported
  • Windows: Windows 10+ with WSL2 required
  • Linux: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 10+, Fedora 36+, RHEL 8+

Best For

  • Full-stack refactoring with browser-based UI verification
  • Google Cloud ecosystem developers
  • Teams wanting parallel agent workflows
  • “Vibe Coding” from natural language or screenshots

Avoid For

  • Intel Mac users (unsupported)
  • Offline development (requires connectivity)
  • Enterprises blocking WSL2 (Windows requirement)
