Google’s ‘Antigravity’ Is Here: Codes Like a Junior Developer?

Google's new creation, Antigravity, is out now. The AI was launched on November 18, 2025, alongside Gemini 3 and claims to work like a junior developer. So, the buzz that it works like software developers is true? How does it work? Will it replace junior developers? For all that, learn more. 

What Is Antigravity?

Antigravity is an AI-powered coding tool developed by Google that works like a junior-level developer.

The tool is built to work inside your laptop, inside your code editor and inside your browser, not just there to give you suggestions.

How Is It Different From Other AI Assistants?

• It's good at running multiple AI agents at the same time.
• It can plan, write, test, fix, and re-check its own code.
• Works directly inside the coding tools.
• The tool can handle the whole task, not just small commands.

For instance:

Instead of asking "Fix this line of code", ask "Build a small flight-tracking app,” and it will:

• Write the code.
• Test the app.
• Open the browser.
• Check if it works.
• Fix errors.
• Record the whole process.
• Give you the final result.

And Google calls it the new era of AI agents, meaning not just an assistant. 

How Does Antigravity Work?

Antigravity works with direct access to your:

• Code editor
• Terminal
• Browser

According to Google, Antigravity is more than just generating text. It works like a real developer on your computer.

The tools produce"Artifacts”, which are easy-to-read reports like:

• Screenshots
• Step-by-step plans
• Recordings
• Checklists

Hence, humans can track the progress.

Two Ways to Use Antigravity

According to Google:

Editor View

• It will look like a regular coding workspace with the AI agent helping on the side.

Manager View

• This is a more powerful one. Here, one can manage multiple AI agents at once.
• Let's say you’re supervising several virtual interns put on different tasks.

The Agents Learn as They Work

It's important to note that these AI agents can learn from your previous tasks. They store helpful code, workflows and reuse later as well. 

Availability

• Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Currently in public preview.
• Free with “generous rate limits,” refreshed every 5 hours.

Works with models like:

• Gemini
• Claude Sonnet 4.5
• OpenAI GPT-OSS

Will It Replace Junior Developers?

This is perhaps the biggest question, but it's not a simple yes or no because:

It can replace:

• Basic setup work
• Repetitive coding
• Fixing simple bugs
• Testing
• Creating boilerplate code
• Running small projects

And it can't replace:

• Understand system logic
• Learn the architecture
• Grow into senior roles
• Plan features
• Connect business needs with code
• Catch subtle bugs AI might miss
• Make decisions AI cannot make

The AI still needs humans to:

• Define the goal
• Make sure the output is correct
• Check errors that the AI cannot understand
• Guide the big-picture design

How to Use Google Gemini AI

Gemini isn’t text-limited, like the majority of AI models. Because it is a multimodal AI prompting for complex patterns. Here is how to use it.
