Google Launches Antigravity 2.0 with Desktop App and CLI Tool at IO 2026

At Google IO 2026, the company unveiled Antigravity 2.0, a major update to its agentic coding app designed to compete with tools like Cursor. The update introduces a desktop app, CLI tool, and SDK for custom workflows.

Key Features of Antigravity 2.0

Updated Desktop App

  • Multi-agent orchestration: Execute multiple tasks simultaneously
  • Custom subagent workflows: Design specialized agent workflows
  • Background task scheduling: Automate tasks to run independently
  • Native integrations: Seamlessly connect with Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase
  • Voice command support: Control the tool using natural language voice prompts

CLI Tool

  • New Antigravity CLI for terminal-based agent creation
  • Google is migrating users from the older Gemini CLI to this new tool
  • Designed for developers who prefer command-line interfaces

SDK for Custom Agents

  • Antigravity SDK allows developers to build custom agents based on Google's coding tool
