Technology Radar
Google Antigravity is a standalone VS Code fork, built on technology licensed from Windsurf and launched in public preview alongside Gemini 3 in November 2025. Antigravity centers the IDE around multi-agent orchestration: an Agent Manager runs multiple agents in parallel across tasks, a built-in Chromium browser allows agents to interact with live UIs directly and a skills system stores reusable agent instructions in the repository.
The Agent Manager acts as a "Mission Control" dashboard rather than a standard chat sidebar, fundamentally shifting the developer's role from writing code line by line to orchestrating multiple autonomous workstreams. Developers can still drop into the editor for human-in-the-loop (HITL) control when needed. Antigravity integrates with Google Cloud and Firebase through the Model Context Protocol and supports agent development via the Agent Development Kit. We're placing Antigravity in Assess because it remains in public preview with no GA date, and its security posture and enterprise readiness are still evolving. The multi-agent execution model and autonomous browser access signal where agentic IDEs are heading.
