Google Antigravity

Google Antigravity represents a shift toward agentic development environments, moving beyond simple autocomplete to autonomous task execution. By leveraging direct file system and terminal access, the tool can independently run test suites, browse documentation for real-time updates, and perform visual verification for frontend changes. Its 'Deep Think' mode excels at high-level architectural refactoring and codebase-wide logic changes that require significant reasoning depth.

However, the tool's architecture imposes rigid hardware constraints. The exclusion of Intel-based Macs and the dependency on WSL2 for Windows users create friction for developers in locked-down corporate settings or those using older hardware. While its reasoning is robust, the latency in Deep Think mode makes it better suited for asynchronous task delegation rather than a synchronous, low-latency typing experience.
