Google releases Antigravity 2.0 with desktop app, CLI, and SDK

In short: Google has launched Antigravity 2.0, an AI coding tool with a refreshed desktop app, a new command line option, and new developer tools.

What happened

Google announced Antigravity 2.0, a newer version of its AI-assisted coding app. It now includes an updated desktop app, plus a CLI tool, which is a text-only way to use a program through a computer terminal (like giving instructions in a chat window instead of clicking buttons).

Google said the desktop app can run multiple “agents” at the same time. In simple terms, agents are AI helpers that can take on specific tasks, like writing code, checking files, or doing setup steps (think of them as multiple assistants working in parallel). Users can also set up repeating tasks that run in the background, and connect projects more easily with Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase.

The company is also adding built-in voice commands, so people can speak requests instead of typing. Google is releasing an Antigravity SDK, which is a set of building blocks that lets developers create their own custom agents and workflows based on Antigravity. Google said Cloud customers will be able to connect Antigravity to build projects, and it plans to provide templates in AI Studio for enterprise users.

Alongside the product update, Google introduced a new $100 per month AI Ultra plan. Google said it offers 5 times higher usage limits in Antigravity than the AI Pro plan. Google also lowered the price of its top AI Ultra tier from $250 to $200 per month, and said that tier allows 20 times higher limits than Pro.

Why it matters

AI coding tools are increasingly sold in tiers, like phone plans. For software teams, higher limits can matter because these tools can quickly hit usage caps during busy work, which can slow down projects.
