At Google IO 2026, the company introduced Google Antigravity 2.0, featuring a revamped desktop app, a CLI tool, and an SDK for customized workflows. Launched last year as a counter to agentic coding software like Cursor, Antigravity’s new desktop version allows users to operate multiple agents and execute tasks concurrently. It supports custom subagent workflows and background task scheduling, with easy project integration into Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase.
Powered by the Gemini 3.5 Flash model, co-developed with Antigravity, Google is also incorporating voice command support, akin to its integration in Gmail and Docs. A new Antigravity CLI tool is available for terminal-based coding, and Google encourages users to transition from the Gemini CLI tool.
An Antigravity SDK will enable developers to create custom agents, and Google Cloud customers can integrate with Antigravity for project development. Custom agent templates for enterprise users will be released in AI Studio. An export tool within AI Studio will allow developers to locally continue their projects.
Antigravity is also incorporated into consumer products like Search, offering real-time custom UI generation within search results, enabling users to build mini-apps. Google unveiled an AI Ultra plan for $100, which provides 5x AI limits over the Pro plan, and the price of the top AI Ultra plan with 20x limits over the Pro plan has been reduced from $250 to $200. Other AI labs, such as Anthropic and OpenAI, have introduced similar pricing tiers.
Further insights from Google IO 2026 include the transformation of Google Search, updates to the Gemini app to rival ChatGPT and Claude, the introduction of Gemini Spark, an agent assistant with Gmail integration, and guidance on utilizing Google’s new information agents.
