An alternative for VS Code + GitHub Copilot & Cursor, or something more?
Google Antigravity
Build with Google Antigravity, our new agentic development platform - Google Developers Blog
Google Antigravity introduces agent-first architecture for asynchronous, verifiable coding workflows | VentureBeat
Google Antigravity, new agentic development platform. An evolution of the IDE, it's built to help you: - Orchestrate agents operating at a higher, task-oriented level - Run parallel tasks with agents across workspaces - Build anything with Gemini 3 Pro.
Antigravity is not Google’s only coding platform; it’s not even its only coding agent with an IDE integration or asynchronous capabilities. It joins a long line of Google platforms aimed at helping developers work more efficiently. The coding assistant Jules is now integrated into IDEs, can be invoked via the CLI, and can also run asynchronously. Gemini CLI also works similarly. And there's Gemini Code Assist, which first launched last year.
However, Antigravity will most likely have to compete more with coding agent platforms like Codex from OpenAI, Claude Code from Anthropic, and Cursor.
Some people on X commented that Antigravity looks similar to Windsurf, which would make sense: Google hired the Windsurf team — including CEO Varun Mohan — in July and licensed the tech for $2.4 billion.
Based in Windsurf?
Google Antigravity is an agentic development platform, evolving the IDE into the agent-first era. Antigravity enables developers to operate at a higher, task-oriented level by managing agents across workspaces, while retaining a familiar AI IDE experience at its core. Agents operate across the editor, terminal, and browser, enabling them to autonomously plan and execute complex, end-to-end tasks elevating all aspects of software development.
