Google Antigravity

What's great

The agent workflow seemed like a meaningful improvement over Cursor. It was easy to follow the agent's code exploration and "though process". The review workflow made it feel very natural to iterate on the agent's proposed solution.

What needs improvement

The onboarding/trial felt weak somehow. I ran out of free-usage fairly quickly, and it fell over onto weaker models. I wasn't prompted to upgrade. For a new product, I'd expect to be able to trial it fully-featured, and then decide whether to upgrade.

There were some UI bugs, but nothing I couldn't live with for a new product.

vs Alternatives

The most important thing is going to be model accuracy. It's worth giving up on UX for better code generation.

In that sense, I actually stalled. Antigravity had momentum, but then stalled and failed over to weaker models. I had to get back to work, so I switched back to Cursor + Claude Code.

How transparent are agent plans and decision steps?

Extremely. And, the agent "thought process" is very discoverable.

How well does it handle large monorepos and workspaces?

It seemed to grok our moderate Rails monorepo pretty smoothly.

What guardrails prevent destructive terminal or repo actions?

There's a planning mode (default) that I think did a standard job at. I didn't notice any guardrails

What latency do you see between prompts and actions?

It felt very fast until I ran out of credits and decided to just stop working.

What's great

Some UI quirks and minor bugs, but very powerful overall. I really like how it handles implementation plans and walkthroughs. I think it will be great a couple months from now.

What needs improvement

Mostly needs some bugfixes and UI polish. E.g. sometimes one of the panels obscures an Accept/Reject button, so it's hard to see the app is waiting for user input. And when allowing certain commands, I haven't been able to make this stick yet. There's an allowlist for commands in the settings, but this doesn't seem to work for me.

Cursor never quite resonated with me, but I need to give it another shot. Claude Code is great with Opus 4.5, but way too expensive. Antigravity is very close to Claude Code, and as a paid Google AI Pro subscriber I haven't bumped into any limits yet. I actually like Copilot quite a bit as well.

How accurate is code generation for my primary language?

Python code seems pretty solid, but it sometimes misses some minor things, so definitely still needs a thorough review.

How easy is async collaboration across teammates and branches?

Haven't tried; I'm a solo dev.

Did it reduce code review time and defect rates?
