Google · Google's Agentic Development Platform: Desktop, IDE, CLI & SDK
Google Antigravity is Google's agent-first development platform for software engineers: a desktop command center for running coding agents in parallel, an agentic IDE, a terminal CLI, and a Python SDK built on the same agent harness. Free for individual developers, with higher limits through Google AI Pro and Ultra.
Best for
Developers who want to supervise several autonomous coding agents in parallel from a dedicated desktop app, with a free tier and access to both Gemini and Claude models
Not ideal for
Teams that require an open-source client app, Intel Mac users, or developers who need precisely documented free-tier quotas before committing
Who it's for
Software engineers and teams who want to delegate multi-step coding work to parallel agents across desktop, terminal, and API

Free tier limits: The Individual plan has basic weekly rate limits on agent model usage; exact quotas are not listed on the pricing page.
Note: Pro and Ultra benefits come through Google AI subscriptions, whose prices are set outside the Antigravity pricing page. Organization access is billed on consumption through Google Cloud and is included in select Gemini Enterprise subscriptions.
Available models
Google Antigravity vs. cursor
Cursor centers the editor and runs background agents in the cloud that return pull requests; Antigravity pairs an IDE with a separate desktop app for supervising local agents, and extends the same harness to a CLI, SDK, and Gemini API.
Google Antigravity vs. claude-code
Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent across terminal, IDE, and desktop; Antigravity is Google's multi-surface platform whose free plan also offers Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6 alongside Gemini models.
Google Antigravity vs. windsurf
Devin Desktop (formerly Windsurf) is a single agentic editor; Antigravity splits the workflow into an agent manager app, an IDE, and a CLI that share one runtime.
Google Antigravity vs. opencode
OpenCode is an open-source terminal coding agent you can point at many model providers; Antigravity offers a Google-curated model list, and only its Python SDK carries a documented open-source license.
What is Google Antigravity?
Antigravity is Google's agentic development platform. It includes Antigravity 2.0 (a desktop command center for running agents in parallel), the Antigravity IDE, a terminal CLI, IDE extensions, and a Python SDK, all built on the same agent runtime.
Is Google Antigravity free?
Yes for individuals. The Individual plan is $0/month with unlimited Tab completions and Command requests and basic weekly rate limits on agent models. Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers get more generous rate limits and a flexible AI credit pool, and organizations use consumption-based pricing through Google Cloud.
Which models does Antigravity support?
Google's pricing page lists Gemini 3.8 Flash, Gemini 3.7 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.6, and gpt-oss-120b for agents on the Individual plan.
What is the difference between Antigravity 2.0 and the Antigravity IDE?
Antigravity 2.0 is a standalone, agent-first desktop app, separate from the IDE, built for managing multiple local agents across projects. The Antigravity IDE is the editor-centered product. Google lets existing IDE users keep the IDE while installing 2.0, so both can run side by side.
Is Google Antigravity open source?
No open-source license is documented for the desktop app, IDE, or CLI. The Antigravity SDK for Python is released under the Apache 2.0 license and installs with pip install google-antigravity.
Google Antigravity vs Cursor: what is the difference?
Cursor is a VS Code-based editor with agent mode and cloud background agents. Antigravity offers a separate agent-first desktop app for running local agents in parallel alongside its IDE, plus a CLI, a Python SDK, and a hosted agent in the Gemini API.

Anomaly
Developers who want a terminal-based AI coding agent with no vendor lock-in, the ability to bring any LLM provider, and undo control over agent file changes
FreeAntigravity began as an agentic IDE in November 2025 and has grown into a product family that shares one agent runtime. Antigravity 2.0, a standalone desktop app separate from the IDE, is the agent-first surface: conversations are grouped into projects that can span several folders, agents spin up subagents for focused subtasks, cron-style scheduled tasks trigger agents on a timetable, JSON hooks let you intercept agent behavior, and a /browser command puts Chrome in the loop for frontend work. Agents can run in your working folder or in an isolated Git worktree. The same harness powers the Antigravity CLI (Google's consolidation path from Gemini CLI), an Apache 2.0 Python SDK for building custom agents, and a managed Antigravity agent in the Gemini API. The Individual plan is $0 and includes Gemini, Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6, and gpt-oss-120b models with basic weekly rate limits; Google AI Pro and Ultra add more generous limits and an AI credit pool, and organizations buy through Google Cloud with consumption-based pricing. The tradeoffs are a fast-moving release cadence with frequent changes, rate limits that are only loosely specified on the free plan, and the fact that only the SDK, not the desktop apps or CLI, carries a documented open-source license.
Version 2.16.0 added Windows Subsystem for Linux support, Office document attachments, and live subagent status cards; 2.17.0 added /plan, which drafts an editable plan before the agent writes code.
Google released antigravity-preview-09-2026, replacing and deprecating antigravity-preview-05-2026 (scheduled to shut down on October 5, 2026), with renamed built-in tool parameters, line-range file edits, and new search tools.
Google introduced Antigravity 2.0, a desktop app separate from the Antigravity IDE with subagents, scheduled tasks, projects, and hooks. The Antigravity Agent also arrived in the Gemini API as a managed agent in public preview.
Google introduced Antigravity as an agentic, AI-assisted software development platform.
