Learn how to install and download Google Antigravity, how to set it up, and how much it costs.

Google recently unveiled a new development tool called Antigravity. Antigravity is an AI agent-centric IDE that can be easily installed by downloading it for your OS and logging in with your Google account. For now, you can start with the Individual (free) pricing plan.

Since it combines an IDE with AI agents, think of it as a "GPT-dedicated editor that helps with coding" for easy understanding.

In this article:

  1. What Antigravity is
  2. How to download and install it
  3. How to best configure the Antigravity Agent settings screen that appears on first launch

all explained step-by-step with screenshots.

Currently, only the free Individual plan is available.

If you're considering adopting it for your team, try the free Individual plan now. Then, when the Team plan opens, you can switch over. Or, if using it for your company
, it might be best to choose the Enterprise pricing later.

4. Selecting Antigravity Agent Mode

This is the setup screen that appears upon first launch. Here, you essentially choose "how much the Antigravity AI agent will move automatically."

Antigravity supports four modes in total. Let's take a closer look at each of these four modes.

4-1. Understanding the Four Antigravity Agent Modes

1️⃣ Agent-driven development

  • Agent-driven mode
  • The agent independently proposes and executes major tasks like file creation/modification and refactoring
  • Users only need to review or intervene occasionally

👉 Choose this if you prefer AI to handle significant portions of the entire project

2️⃣ Agent-assisted development (Recommended)

  • Default recommended mode
  • Closer to "I lead, the agent assists"
  • While coding:
    • Code suggestions / refactoring / explanations / test code generation, etc.
    • Agent assists when requested

👉 Recommended for first-time users; start with this mode

3️⃣ Review-driven development

  • Rather than the agent directly modifying the code:
    • PR review
    • Code explanations
    • Suggesting improvement points

👉 If you feel "AI touching the code itself is burdensome, and I only want to use it for reviews and comments," then this mode

4️⃣ Custom configuration

  • Mix the three modes above for fine-tuned customization
  • Example:
    • Read-only for specific folders,
    • Allow automatic modifications only in test folders,
    • Always require approval for dangerous commands… and similar settings are possible

👉 Useful once you're familiar with Antigravity and want to fine-tune security and workflow details.

4-2. Right-hand options

On the right are detailed policy options.

1) Terminal execution policy

  • Auto
    • Terminal commands are executed automatically when needed by the agent.
    • e.g., pip install …, pytest, npm install, etc.
  • Ask (or similar name)
    • Always asks "Should I run this command?" before executing anything
  • Never / Disabled
    • Completely prevents the agent from using the terminal

Initially, Auto or Ask is appropriate

  • Personal PC & test projects → Auto
  • Company code / Critical servers → Ask or Never

2) Review policy

  • Agent Decides
    • Minor changes are applied immediately by the agent
    • Critical changes require review request
  • Always Ask / User Approves type
    • User approval required before applying all changes

Start with Agent Decides initially,

and if you feel the agent's scope of modification is too broad, switch to the "Always Ask" type.

3) Use the default allowlist for the browser

  • Whether to allow the Antigravity Agent to open the browser for searching or reading documents
  • Think of the default allowlist as a "safe sites list"

If you're not in a highly secure environment, it's fine to leave it checked initially. (You can always change it later in settings)

5. Editor Default Settings Step

The screen below shows the editor default settings stage, with three items:

  • Keybindings: Normal (unless you're a Vim user)
  • Extensions: Keep "Install 7 Extensions" checked
  • Command Line: Keep 'Install' checked to use agy commands Install agy commands

5-1. Keybindings – Keyboard Shortcut Method

Choose between Normal / Vim

  • Normal
    • Shortcut key scheme like standard code editors (VS Code, Cursor, etc.)
    • Use the same familiar methods: arrow keys, Ctrl/⌘+C/V, drag selection, etc.
    • Most users find this comfortable
  • Vim
    • Vim style: Move with h j k l, press i to enter insert mode
    • Completely different key mapping; if you haven't used Vim, it might feel very unfamiliar

👉 If you're not a Vim user, we strongly recommend sticking with Normal mode.

5-2. Extensions – Installing Language Extensions

Install frequently used language extensions. Some Agent features require language extensions to function. Install the basic ones.

  • Check "Install 7 Extensions"
    • Automatically installs the 7 language extensions Antigravity recommends by default (You can search for 'korean' in the Marketplace and download the Korean patch)
    • Typically: Think of these as support packages for major languages like Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Rust, etc.
    • These extensions are required for:
      • Syntax highlighting
      • Code IntelliSense (auto-completion)
      • Formatting
      • Proper functioning of the agent's "language recognition" performance, etc.

👉 We recommend proceeding to Next while keeping the checked state as is.

(Since you can install or remove more within the editor later, we recommend confirming the initial installation.)

5-3. Command Line – agy Command Installation

Command Line – agy installs a CLI tool that opens Antigravity via the agy command in Terminal.

If it's checked ON + Install, the agy command will be added to your PATH.

In the terminal,

agy .

typing `agy` will open the current folder directly in Antigravity. This allows you to set up your workflow, such as performing Git tasks or configuring virtual environments in the terminal and then instantly launching the IDE with `agy`. Since the terminal is frequently used, we strongly recommend keeping the Install checkbox selected.
