Why It Matters
Google has launched Antigravity 2.0 at Google IO 2026, an updated version of its agentic coding application. This release follows the initial launch of Antigravity last year as a competitor to similar software like Cursor. The new version introduces significant enhancements to its desktop app, command-line interface, and software development kit.
At Google IO 2026, the company unveiled a new version of its agentic coding app, Google Antigravity 2.0, with an updated desktop app, a CLI tool, and an SDK for custom workflows. The company launched its Antigravity tool last year as a response to agentic coding software such as Cursor.
The company said that with the new desktop app, users can orchestrate multiple agents and execute tasks simultaneously. Plus, you can design custom subagent workflows and schedule tasks that can automatically run in the background. The new app also easily lets you integrate projects with Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase.
A lot of this is powered by the company’s new Gemini 3.5 Flash model, which was co-developed using Antigravity, Google said.
Google is also adding native voice command support to Antigravity, just like it has added to multiple consumer products, including Gmail and Docs. And it’s launching a new Antigravity CLI (command line interface) tool for programmers who want to use a terminal for creating agents. Google is asking users who used the Gemini CLI tool to migrate to the new tool.
What’s more, Google is launching an Antigravity SDK for developers to build custom agents based on Google’s coding tool. The company will allow Google Cloud customers to connect to Antigravity to build projects. It noted that it will release custom agent templates in AI Studio for enterprise users to get started.
Google is also adding an Antigravity export tool to AI Studio for developers to export their existing project and carry on the work locally.
Google is using Antigravity’s coding chops in consumer products like Search, where users will get a custom UI generated in real time as part of an answer. Here, users will be able to build mini-apps while exploring a topic within search, the company said.
The company is introducing a new AI Ultra plan priced at $100, offering 5x higher AI limits in Antigravity than the Pro plan.
It is also reducing the price of its top AI Ultra plan from $250 to $200, which allows for 20x higher limits than the Pro plan. Other AI labs, including Anthropic and OpenAI, have added both $100- and $200-per-month plans in the last few years to create a tiered system for users with different AI usage requirements.
