Google Antigravity

Been using Google's Antirgravity for about a week. There's some phenomenal things, and some things that are complete ass. I do usually really plan and write code myself, but this little side project i decided to 'vibe code 'and man, feast or famine

The good-

The fact that I can prompt from my ide and when I need/run out of credits, I can just switch models, is very cool; and watching how different models handle similar tasks differently is just super interesting.

Some of the very complex tasks I ask it to do it just knocks out of the park immediately. A little game with state management and turn indications for you vs enemies? Done. Immediately done and close to my liking, unbelievable. Especially since this shit was brand new ans way clunkier 2 years ago

Oh my god, and the feature that allows you to roll-back the changes to a certain point in the conversation? FUCKING HALLELUJAH. So quick and easy. Without that feature, the following drawbacks would be complete deal-breakers

The bad-

I've only used it for a web app so far. The BIG drawback is it's file management. Complete dogshit. Not separation of concerns- it just makes each feature one big bloated piece of garbage file that then becomes SO big that the Ai can't even properly handle it and freaks out. Thinks it's corrupted, accidentally deleted unrelated code. Yeah.

I refactored manually and will test further, but file management is still new it it VERY obviously shows.anf this wasnt me feeding it a project, I had it make the project, it came up with the (lack of) structure, which compounded fast.

And you can't give it multiple commands or it messes up more. Like, I have to give it one bite-sized thing to do at a time. Good forbid two bite sized things at once or more. It'll just get both wrong or just spin out until you're out of credits.

All in all, I'm through the moon with Antigravity. Highly recommend having it do some work and checking it between rounds of your favorite video game. Why not?

I'm an optimistic guy in life, and I'm really excited to see where things like this get in one or two years time, and beyond obv.

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.

Google just dropped "Antigravity" (antigravity.google) and claims it's an "Agent-First" IDE. I've been using Cursor heavily for the past few months, so I decided to give this a spin to see if it's just hype or a real competitor.

My key takeaways after testing it:

• The "Agent Manager" is the real deal: Unlike the linear chat in VS Code/Cursor, here you can spawn multiple agent threads. I managed to have one agent refactoring a messy LegacyUserProfile.js component while another agent was writing Jest tests for it simultaneously. It feels more like orchestration than coding.

• Model Access: It currently offers Gemini 3 Pro and Claude 3.5 Sonnet for free during the preview. That alone makes it worth the download.

• Installation: It's a VS Code fork, so migration (extensions, keybindings) took about 30 seconds.

The "Vibe Coding" Trap: I noticed that because it's so powerful, it's easy to get lazy. I did a test run generating a Frontend component from a screenshot.

• Attempt 1 (Lazy prompt): The code worked but the CSS was messy.

• Attempt 2 (Senior prompt): I explicitly asked for BEM methodology and semantic HTML. The result was production-ready.

Conclusion: It might not kill Cursor today, but the multi-agent workflow is definitely superior for complex tasks.

I made a full video breakdown showing the installation and the 3-agent demo in action if you want to see the UI: https://youtu.be/M06VEfzFHZY?si=W_3OVIzrSJY4IXBv

Has anyone else tried the multi-agent feature yet? How does it compare to Windsurf's flows for you?
