According to Gemini itself: "Google Antigravity" refers to a new AI software platform announced by Google designed to help developers write and manage code. The term itself is a bit of a placeholder or project name, combining the brand "Google" with the concept of "antigravity"—implying a release from the limitations of traditional coding. In simple terms, Google Antigravity is a sophisticated tool for programmers that uses powerful AI systems (called "agents") to handle complex coding tasks automatically. It takes the typical software workbench (an IDE) and evolves it into an "agent-first" system. Agentic Platform: It's a central hub where many specialized AI helpers (agents) live and work together. The goal is to let you focus on what to build, not how to build it. Task-Oriented: The platform is designed to be given a high-level goal (a "task") rather than needing line-by-line instructions. Autonomous Operation: The AI agents can work across all your tools—your code editor, the command line, and your web browser—without needing you to constantly supervise or switch between them. | ||

My guess is based on a gif tweeted by the ex CEO of windsurf who left to join Google of a floating laptop: it'll be a cursor/windsurf alternative? | ||

> 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.

Couple patterns this could follow Speed? (Flash, Flash-Lite, Antigravity) this is my guess. Bonus: maybe Gemini Diffusion soon? Space? (Google Cloud, Google Antigravity?) Clothes? (A light wearable -> Antigravity?) Gaming? (Ghosting/nontangibility -> antigravity?) | ||

I guess we'll know it in a few hours. Most likely another AI playground or maybe a Google Search alternative? No clue really | ||
