Antigravity 2.0 Brings Agentic AI Coding to Desktop, Terminal, and Cloud

Google used its I/O 2026 conference to unveil Antigravity 2.0, a major update to its agentic coding platform that adds a redesigned desktop application, a new command-line tool, and an SDK for developers building custom AI workflows.

The updated platform expands Google’s push into AI-assisted software development, an increasingly competitive category shaped by tools like Cursor and other coding agents. Google first introduced Antigravity last year, and the latest release focuses on giving developers more ways to manage autonomous coding tasks across desktop, terminal, and cloud environments.

Google said the new desktop app allows users to run multiple coding agents simultaneously and coordinate tasks in parallel. Developers can also build custom subagent workflows and schedule jobs to run automatically in the background. The app includes integrations with Google AI Studio, Android development tools, and Firebase.

Much of the system is powered by Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash model, which the company said was co-developed using Antigravity itself.

The company is also adding native voice controls to the platform, extending the conversational interface approach Google has recently introduced across products like Gmail and Docs. For developers who prefer terminal-based workflows, Google is launching Antigravity CLI, a dedicated command-line interface for creating and managing coding agents. The company is encouraging existing Gemini CLI users to migrate to the new tool.

Alongside the desktop and CLI releases, Google introduced an Antigravity SDK that allows developers and enterprise customers to build custom agents and workflow automations on top of the platform. Google Cloud customers will also be able to connect their infrastructure directly to Antigravity projects, while AI Studio will offer prebuilt custom agent templates for enterprise deployments.

Google is additionally rolling out an export tool inside AI Studio that lets developers move projects out of Google’s hosted environment and continue working locally.

The company said Antigravity’s coding capabilities are also beginning to appear inside consumer-facing products. In Google Search, users will be able to generate mini-apps directly within search results through dynamically generated interfaces tied to specific queries.

Google paired the launch with new pricing changes for its AI subscription plans. The company introduced a new AI Ultra tier priced at $100 per month, offering five times higher Antigravity usage limits than the Pro plan. Google also reduced the price of its top-tier AI Ultra plan from $250 to $200 per month, with that tier providing 20 times higher limits than Pro.

The pricing structure mirrors a broader trend across the AI industry, where companies including OpenAI and Anthropic have rolled out premium subscription tiers aimed at users with heavier AI workloads and more advanced development needs.
