i tried google antigravity and it s making me rethink how i medium

Gemini 3 and Nano Banana Pro hit the Gemini app for everyday users in November 2025, along with a slew of AI-powered features from Google. These upgrades are a big deal—Gemini 3 Pro is the best-performing AI model on the planet in multiple categories, and Nano Banana Pro is the most powerful text-to-image model we've ever seen. However, the most important release isn't a new version of Gemini or Nano Banana; it's a brand-new app from Google called Antigravity. Google Antigravity is an agent-based integrated development environment (IDE) available for macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. It gives AI agents unprecedented autonomy in the coding process, allowing them to make action plans, execute them, and validate code with no human oversight. In other words, with Gemini 3 Pro at the core, a non-developer like myself should be able to build apps only using Antigravity's agentic capabilities.

Calling it a success would be an understatement, because I built my first Android app from scratch with Google's Antigravity platform. Google Antigravity is free to use and comes with what Google describes as "generous" rate limits for free Google accounts and paid Google AI accounts. Anyone can download and install it from the Antigravity website. I must admit, as someone with basically zero coding experience, the Antigravity app was scary at first. I didn't know where to start, but it turned out that getting Antigravity up and running was easier than I thought. You only need to get through five setup screens to launch Antigravity.

The setup tool walks you through selecting an editor theme and asks how you want to use the Antigravity Agent. There are four options: agent-driven development, agent-assisted development, review-driven development, and custom configuration. Here, you'll choose how much autonomy you want to give the Antigravity Agent. I selected agent-driven development because I want the Antigravity Agent to build apps independently without my manual review. Next, users can configure key bindings, install extensions, and install the Antigravity command line tool. If you're a coding beginner like me, skip these configurations.

Finally, you'll need to agree to Antigravity's terms of use, which warn of privacy risks and include your consent for data collection.

Here's exactly what Google says about Antigravity: This is going to be my first review of Antigravity after using it for 2 days. There are some minor bugs which I hope get fixed in the coming days. Login issue - When you log in to the IDE, it redirects you to the browser and that dialog box comes up, but after clicking on allow, it still doesn’t redirect back to the...

Syntax and Error Solving issue - While its design is the best amongst website designers like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and Bubble, and also the best amongst AI IDEs like Windsurf and Cursor, its error-solving... After fixing one error, there will be another, and the majority of the time it’s a syntax error, like a missing bracket or a closing tag placed wrong. Photo upload - When a pic is uploaded and then reverted, those pics get removed. Revert issue: When reverting, it misses some comments, etc., in the file. Revert means revert, and all code until that point should be removed. One of the most hyped releases recently has been Google's Antigravity Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Unfortunately, it has many limitations in the form of rate limits, and hitting them is very easy to do.
