Hello,
Big Claude Code user here on terminal, but always curious to try new toys.
So far, Antigravity is a fairly good surprise, especially how it handles implementation plan as an artefact, but Gemini 3.0 allowance is absurdly small.
However, I've been playing a lot with the Chrome extension that allows Antigravity to control a Chrome browser.
NGL, it is a bit strange to use Gemini 3 or Claude here when Google offers Gemini 2.5 Computer Use, but this is not why I am here.
When you manipulate Chrome via the extension, it does two very interesting things:
It creates artifacts (both pictures and videos) of key moments of the browsing (you can find them in the folder ~/.gemini/antigravity/brain/(the_session ID)).
It also stores a massive amount of screenshots of the whole session in the folder ~/.gemini/antigravity/browser_recordings.
As you know, Gemini 3.0 is very strong in front‑end work and it feels you could use it in your design workflows:
Get Antigravity to browse a site/list of sites from a design and UX perspective.
Re‑use the artifacts and the automatic screenshots as reference to help you design and integrate your screenshots (by the way, Google updated Stitch with Nano Banana Pro + Automatic Export to AI Studio, very powerful).
Any thoughts?

Update based on the comments:
Yes, you can already manipulate the browser programmatically with MCP ChromeDevTools/Puppeteer/Playwright and in multiple other ways (BrowserOS, Browserbase)
What I found interesting about Antigravity were the autosave features, especially the videos, which are enabled by default.
Finally, one interesting thing here is that doing it this way gives you a fairly clean user agent (but also Antigravity refuses to solve captcha-type exercise).
Has anyone here used Google's Antigravity IDE yet?
I recently tested it out for a web stack project—the interface is very VS Code-like, and the AI (Gemini 3) squashed some long-standing bugs for me and even helped refactor a dormant project back to life. The whole multi-agent setup (where you can spawn coding, review, and refactor agents) is wild for streamlining bigger repos.
Curious:
- Do you find it just a polished VS Code clone with better AI, or does it offer something truly unique?
- Anyone pushed the agentic features in real-world workflows?
- Have you tried Chrome integration or in-IDE API testing?
- How does it stack up to Cursor and other AI IDEs?
Would love actual dev feedback—especially from those who've tried it on mid-to-large codebases.
I’m stuck in a loop with the Antigravity IDE extension. I’ve installed it, restarted my computer, and even removed and reinstalled it, but every time I click "Open Browser (Preview)" I get the same prompt telling me to install the extension.
Is anyone else running into this issue?
