Antigravity Track
Module 36
Antigravity Track ā€” Module 36
First Agent in Five Minutes: ThreadCo's developer downloads Antigravity, signs in with her Google account, opens the shopmate/ folder, and types one sentence: "Add a gift wrapping option to the checkout flow." Four minutes later, an agent has written the feature, the tests, and updated the API docs. She reviews a 94-line diff and clicks Accept.

Setup & Your First Agent

Antigravity installs in minutes and requires no API key configuration for standard use. This module covers every step from download to your first autonomous agent run.

1

Download Antigravity

Go to antigravity.google ā†’ click Download for [your OS]. Available for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows 10/11, and Ubuntu 20.04+. The installer is ~180MB.

2

Sign in with Google

On first launch, click Sign in with Google. Your Google account manages access to Gemini 3 Pro (default model) and usage quotas. No separate API key needed during the free preview period.

3

Import VS Code Settings (Optional)

Antigravity detects existing VS Code or Windsurf installations and offers to import extensions, themes, and keybindings. Accept this for a zero-friction transition ā€” your familiar environment transfers over.

4

Open Your Project

File ā†’ Open Folder ā€” select your project root. Antigravity indexes the codebase immediately. For large projects (>50K lines), indexing takes 30ā€“60 seconds and runs in the background.

5

Select Your Model

Bottom status bar ā†’ click the model name ā†’ choose from: Gemini 3 Pro (default, fastest), Claude Sonnet 4.6 (best for complex reasoning), or GPT-4o. You can switch per-agent.

6

Dispatch Your First Agent

Press Ctrl+Shift+A (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+A (macOS) to open the Agent panel. Type your task in plain English and press Enter. The agent plans, then begins executing.

Writing Good Agent Tasks: The more specific your task, the better the output. Include: what to build, where it lives, any constraints (e.g. max 100 chars, charge Ā£2.50), and what tests to write. Treat it like a ticket, not a chat message.
