Google Antigravity


Introduction

Today marks a pivotal moment for the future of developer tooling: Google has officially introduced Google Antigravity, their new “agent-first” Integrated Development Environment (IDE) built around the recently launched Gemini 3 model.

This isn’t just another code editor—Antigravity aims to redefine how we build software, by giving intelligent agents direct control over the editor, terminal and browser, while keeping the human developer in the loop.

If you’re curious about where software development might go next, you’ll want to keep reading. I’ll walk you through what Antigravity is, what makes it different, who it’s for, and some of the key implications and caveats.


What is Antigravity?

In essence, Antigravity is a platform for agentic development—that is, where software agents (powered by large language models and other AI) don’t just assist you, they collaborate with you and execute tasks on your behalf.

Here are the key features:

  • Agents have …

What unique features does Cursor IDE offer compared to GitHub Copilot and Gemini Code Assist

Cursor IDE offers several unique features that set it apart from GitHub Copilot and Gemini Code Assist:

1.

  • analyzes the entire codebase, providing suggestions based on project structure and coding styles. This holistic approach allows for more accurate and relevant code completions and refactoring suggestions.

  • focuses on file-level context, which can be less effective for complex, multi-file projects.

  • does not specifically highlight a whole-codebase approach in available information.

2.

  • learns the developer's coding style over time, offering personalized suggestions that adapt to the user's preferences.

  • provides general suggestions based on its training data but does not adapt to individual coding styles as deeply.

  • does not emphasize adaptive learning in the provided information.

3.

  • supports multiple AI models (e.g., GPT-4, Claude) and …
