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?

If you love vibe coding: https://antigravity.google/

Supports models other than gemini such as GPT-OSS. Hopefully we will get instructions for running local models soon.

Update: Title should more appropriately say : windsurf clone . https://www.reuters.com/business/google-hires-windsurf-ceo-researchers-advance-ai-ambitions-2025-07-11/
