Google updates Antigravity coding tool and adjusts AI pricing

Google has released Antigravity 2.0, an updated version of its agentic coding software—defined as software that uses artificial intelligence agents to write code. Unveiled at the Google IO 2026 conference, the release includes an updated desktop app, a command line interface (CLI) tool, and a software development kit (SDK) for custom workflows. According to Google, the new version is powered by its Gemini 3.5 Flash model, which was co-developed using Antigravity.

With the updated desktop app, users can orchestrate multiple agents and execute tasks simultaneously, as well as design custom subagent workflows and schedule tasks to run in the background. The app integrates projects with Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase. Google is also adding native voice command support to Antigravity, similar to its integration in consumer products like Gmail and Docs. Google is also using Antigravity’s capabilities in consumer products like Search, where users will be able to build mini-apps and receive real-time custom user interfaces as part of search answers.

For developers who prefer using a terminal, the new Antigravity CLI tool replaces the older Gemini CLI tool, with Google asking users to migrate to the new interface. Additionally, the new Antigravity SDK allows developers to build custom agents based on the coding tool, and Google will allow Google Cloud customers to connect to Antigravity to build projects. Google also plans to release custom agent templates in AI Studio for enterprise users and is adding an export tool to AI Studio so developers can export projects to work on them locally.

Alongside these product updates, Google is restructuring its subscription tiers to compete with rival AI labs like Anthropic and OpenAI. The company is adjusting its pricing structure with the following tiers:

• A new AI Ultra plan priced at $100, which offers 5x higher AI limits in Antigravity than the Pro plan.
• An adjusted top-tier AI Ultra plan priced at $200, down from its previous price of $250, which allows for 20x higher limits than the Pro plan.

These pricing changes mirror moves by Anthropic and OpenAI, both of which have introduced $100 and $200 monthly plans to establish tiered systems for users with different AI usage requirements. The launch of Antigravity 2.0 follows Google’s initial release of the tool last year, which was developed as a response to competing agentic coding software such as Cursor.

Why it matters

Google is positioning its agentic coding suite to capture developer workflows, adjusting its subscription tiers to match the pricing standards established by competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI.
