Complete guide to Google Antigravity
Getting started
Download the Google Antigravity desktop app from antigravity.google or install the CLI. Sign in with your Google account; the free tier gives you access to all supported models, with limits that reset roughly every 5 hours. Create a new workspace pointing to your code repository, describe the task you want to accomplish, and Antigravity will orchestrate up to 5 agents in parallel to run it, showing progress in Manager View and validating frontend changes with the built-in Chrome browser.
Use cases
Parallel development with multiple agents
Break a complex feature into subtasks that multiple agents run simultaneously, reducing total development time.
Automatic visual frontend verification
The built-in Chrome browser lets agents visually check that UI changes work before marking them as done.
Scheduled background tasks
Schedule maintenance or refactoring tasks so they run automatically without constant supervision.
Voice automation
Use native voice commands to direct the agents without having to type instructions manually.
Advanced setup
- Set up custom subagentsDesign workflows with specialized subagents (testing, documentation, code review) within a single project.
- Connect via MCPAntigravity supports MCP integration to connect external tools and extend the agents' capabilities.
- Choose a plan based on usage volumeCompare Pro ($20/month) and the AI Ultra tiers ($100 or $200/month) based on how many parallel agents and how much usage headroom you need.
- Adjust Manager ViewCustomize which metrics and agents appear in the monitoring panel so you don't lose track of critical tasks.
Tips
- Start with the free tier to understand how the agents coordinate before paying for more capacity.
- Use the built-in browser to catch visual frontend bugs that an agent without visual verification would miss.
- Break large tasks into clear subtasks: the more ambiguous the instructions, the worse the agents coordinate in parallel.
- Review each agent's history in Manager View to understand why it made certain decisions before accepting the changes.
FAQ
Does Antigravity replace Cursor or GitHub Copilot?
It covers a different use case: instead of completing code line by line, it orchestrates autonomous agents that run entire tasks, with visual verification included.
Do I need a lot of technical knowledge to use it?
Yes. It's designed for developers who already work with IDEs and version control; it is not a no-code tool.
Which models can I use inside Antigravity?
It supports multiple AI models from different providers, not just Google's, with access varying by plan.
What changed with version 2.0, presented at Google I/O 2026?
It added an updated desktop app and CLI, native voice commands, and a pricing restructure with a new mid-tier AI Ultra plan at $100/month.
