Google Antigravity (antigravity.google)

Looks to be live but no content; OpenGraph description is "Google Antigravity - Build the new way".

> Google Antigravity is an agentic development platform, evolving the IDE into the agent-first era.

Antigravity enables developers to operate at a higher, task-oriented level by managing agents across workspaces, while retaining a familiar AI IDE experience at its core. Agents operate across the editor, terminal, and browser, enabling them to autonomously plan and execute complex, end-to-end tasks elevating all aspects of software development.

From what i saw its yet an AI first text editor. Thats a hard pass for me.

- A new "AI" IDE announced

- It's VS Code

Like clockwork!

Was expecting https://pypi.org/project/antigravity/

Nice, if I switch now it'll be killed in two to three years right around the time Zed has all the features that I want!

and the difference from vscode is...?

Curious if the name is a reference to https://xkcd.com/353/

> Come join us! Programming is fun again! It's a whole new world up here!

I actually like the workflow they are suggesting. There's something there for sure:

- Nano Banana => Mockup

- Antigravity/IDE => Comments/note

- Gemini => Turn to code

- Antigravity/IDE => Adjust/code

All on the same platform so can maximum automate / "agentic"

So the whole world is a scam for your data now basically.

Wow this page is an endless source of memes and broken UX madness

Google at its finest

> Your new focus is architecting the solution, not implementing every single step. So congratulations, you have been elevated to a manager of agents.

I'm not sure many engineers will welcome this "promotion".

Why is google so bad at product branding and strategy? My complaint is aesthetic: why would you name your product a five-syllable word??

Another google product, there are too many and which ones will be around in a year or two?

Loads a blank white page and breaks the back button in Firefox.

Console error:

> Loading module from “https://antigravity.google/main-74LQFSAF.js” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type (“text/html”).

I recognize the guys in the video, they were in marketing videos for the Windsurf IDE before its founding team was cannibalized by/absorbed into Google.

It's really kind of pathetic how we live in a future where "antigravity" is a text editor that lies to you, "hoverboards" are one-wheeled electric skateboards that burn your house down, and... well, can't think of a third thing at the moment, but you know the vibe.

Lotta people mining science fiction for cool names and then applying them to their crappy products, cheapening the source ideas.

Neat, but the world doesn't need another IDE, and people want choice. Provide tools that plug into open workflows and step back.

I don't get it. It's a completely blank web page. Did they not test in firefox?

Ah Google misconfigured their web server:

> Loading module from “https://antigravity.google/main-74LQFSAF.js” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type (“text/html”).

Edit: And a couple minutes later, it is now working. Guess Google is reading HN.

Nice to see that it's not locked to just Gemini models

Nice that you can use non-Gemini models with it

can't get past the "Setting up your account" step atm

I worked in a factory one summer when I was a teenager. It was a totally brain dead work, but the morale was good. The workers weren't unhappy.

I'm concerned that the new role of "manager of agents" (as google puts it) will be a soul destroying brain dead work and the morale won't be good.
