Getting Started with Google Antigravity
FreshGoogle Antigravity is an agentic development platform, evolving the IDE into the agent-first era. It enables developers to operate at a higher, task-oriented level -- managing agents across workspaces -- while retaining a familiar AI IDE experience.
Core Features
- Agent -- Multi-step reasoning powered by frontier LLMs. The primary AI modality in Antigravity.
- Tab & Command -- Inline AI completions and natural language commands directly in the editor.
- Agent Manager -- Orchestration surface for overseeing dozens of agents across multiple workspaces simultaneously.
- Browser -- Built-in Chrome automation for testing, reading web data, and automating browser tasks.
Core Surfaces
Antigravity is built around three core surfaces that work together:
| Surface | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Editor | Primary entry point. Code editing, Tab suggestions, Agent interaction, file management. |
| Agent Manager | Higher-level orchestration. Manage multiple workspaces, oversee agents, review artifacts. |
| Browser | Chrome-based automation. Test dev sites, read web data, automate tasks via subagent. |
Key Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Agent | The primary AI modality. A multi-step reasoning system that can use tools, generate code, and communicate through artifacts. |
| Tab & Command | Inline AI modalities for code completions (Tab) and natural language commands (Cmd/Ctrl+I). |
| Artifacts | Things the agent creates to communicate its work -- rich markdown, diffs, diagrams, images, recordings. |
TIP
Toggle between Editor and Agent Manager at any time with Cmd/Ctrl+E. This is the most important keyboard shortcut in Antigravity.
