Google Antigravity Adds Knowledge Work Interface

This is a strategic packaging move, not a pivot: Google is turning Antigravity from an AI coding environment into a role-aware agent workspace.

• –The new layout hides Git worktrees, terminals, diffs, and subagent details behind a cleaner conversation-and-artifacts workflow.
• –Developers retain the full underlying stack, including local files, frontier models, custom agents, skills, plugins, and MCP servers.
• –Role-based onboarding for engineering, knowledge work, data, science, and design gives Google a clearer path to expand beyond developers.
• –The product’s real test will be trust: broader autonomy across documents, folders, and connected tools raises the importance of permissions and review UX.
