Getting Started With Google Antigravity

Get Ready to Defy Gravity: A First Look at Google's Antigravity IDE

Google has officially launched Antigravity, a new, free experimental agentic development platform. This innovative IDE, powered by the new Gemini 3 model, aims to reshape the developer experience by leaning into an "agent-first future."

For those eager to get their hands on this new tool, Antigravity is available now in a public preview for Mac, Windows, and Linux. This initial release comes with what Google describes as "generous rate limits" for leveraging the power of the Gemini 3 Pro model.

What is Antigravity?

Antigravity is more than just a code editor; it's an agentic development platform. This means it's designed to allow developers to work at a higher, more task-oriented level. Instead of writing every line of code, you can delegate tasks to AI agents that can work across the editor, terminal, and even a browser.

One of the most exciting aspects is the multi-model support. While powered by Google's own Gemini 3, developers will also have the option to use Anthropic's Claude Sonnet and OpenAI's open-weight GPT-OSS models.

Key Features to Get Started With:

• Agent-First Interface: Antigravity provides a dedicated interface for managing and interacting with AI agents, allowing you to give high-level prompts and have the agent break them down into subtasks and execute them.
• Artifacts for Verification: To build trust and transparency, Antigravity agents produce "Artifacts" as they work. These can include task lists, implementation plans, and even walkthroughs of the final product, allowing you to verify the agent's work.
• Familiar IDE Experience: While pushing the boundaries of AI development, Antigravity still provides the essential features of a modern IDE, including a code editor with tab completions and in-line commands.
• Integrated Chrome Browser: The platform includes an integrated Chrome browser for running and testing applications, with agents able to provide walkthroughs of how the final product behaves.

How to Get Started:

Getting started with Antigravity is straightforward. As it is in a public preview, you can download it for your respective operating system and begin exploring its agentic capabilities.

The platform is designed to feel familiar to developers while introducing a new, more collaborative way of working with AI.

Google's Antigravity signals a significant step towards a future where developers partner with AI to build software more efficiently and creatively. As this is an experimental platform, it's an exciting opportunity for developers to get in on the ground floor and help shape the future of agentic development.
