At the recent Google I/O 2026 conference, Google unveiled Antigravity 2.0, a significant upgrade to its agentic coding platform. This new version introduces a standalone desktop application, a command-line interface (CLI) tool, and a software development kit (SDK) designed to enhance developers’ ability to create and manage autonomous coding agents.
Enhanced Desktop Application
The new desktop app serves as a centralized hub for orchestrating multiple autonomous agents, enabling them to execute tasks concurrently. Users can design custom subagent workflows and schedule tasks to run automatically in the background. The application seamlessly integrates with Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase, streamlining the development process. This functionality is powered by Google’s latest Gemini 3.5 Flash model, which was co-developed using Antigravity.

Command-Line Interface (CLI) Tool
For developers who prefer terminal-based interactions, Google has introduced the Antigravity CLI tool. This tool allows programmers to create and manage agents directly from the command line. Google recommends that users of the previous Gemini CLI tool transition to this new interface to take advantage of its enhanced capabilities.

Software Development Kit (SDK) for Custom Workflows
The Antigravity SDK empowers developers to build custom agents tailored to specific project requirements. Google Cloud customers can connect to Antigravity to develop projects, and the company plans to release custom agent templates in AI Studio to assist enterprise users in getting started. Additionally, an Antigravity export tool has been added to AI Studio, enabling developers to export existing projects and continue their work locally.

Integration with Consumer Products
Google is leveraging Antigravity’s capabilities in consumer products like Search. Users will experience custom user interfaces generated in real-time as part of search results, allowing them to build mini-apps while exploring topics within the search environment.

New AI Ultra Plan
To accommodate varying AI usage requirements, Google has introduced a new AI Ultra plan priced at $100 per month. This plan offers five times the AI limits of the Pro plan, catering to users with higher demands for AI resources.
