Getting Started with Google Antigravity

Learn how to access Google Antigravity, set up your workspace, navigate the interface, and create your first automated workflow.

Accessing Antigravity

Google Antigravity is available through multiple access points. Here's how to get started:

  1. Sign in with Your Google Account

    Visit the Antigravity platform and sign in using your existing Google account. You'll need a Google Workspace or personal Gmail account.

  2. Request Access (If Required)

    As an experimental platform, Antigravity may require you to join a waitlist or request early access. Check the platform's landing page for current availability.

  3. Complete Onboarding

    Once approved, you'll be guided through a brief onboarding flow that introduces the key concepts and interface elements.

Tip: If you have access to Google Cloud Platform, you may be able to access Antigravity features through the Cloud Console as well.

Setting Up Your Workspace

Your workspace is your central hub for managing workflows, agents, and outputs. Here's how to configure it:

Workspace Components

  • Dashboard: Overview of your recent workflows, active tasks, and usage statistics.
  • Workflow Editor: Visual canvas where you design and configure automated workflows.
  • Agent Library: Browse and configure the AI agents available for your workflows.
  • Template Gallery: Pre-built workflow templates you can customize and use immediately.
  • Output Library: All artifacts generated by your workflows, organized by project.
Workspace Configuration
# Recommended workspace settings

Default Model:     Gemini Pro (balanced speed/quality)
Auto-Save:        Enabled
Version History:  Keep last 30 days
Notifications:    Email + In-App
Output Format:    Google Drive (auto-sync)

Understanding the Interface

The Antigravity interface is built around a visual workflow editor. Key interface elements include:

Element Purpose
Node Panel Drag-and-drop AI task nodes onto the workflow canvas
Canvas Visual workspace where you connect nodes to build workflows
Properties Panel Configure settings for the selected node (prompts, parameters, etc.)
Execution Log Real-time output showing what each agent is doing during workflow execution
Variables Bar Define and manage input variables that flow through your workflow

Creating Your First Automated Workflow

Let's build a simple workflow that takes a topic, researches it, and generates a summary document.

  1. Create a New Workflow

    Click "New Workflow" from the dashboard. Name it "My First Research Summary" and select the blank template.

  2. Add an Input Node

    Drag an Input node onto the canvas. Set the variable name to topic and type to text. This is where you'll enter your research topic.

  3. Add a Research Agent

    Drag a Research Agent node and connect it to the input. Configure it to search for recent information about the given topic.

  4. Add a Summarization Node

    Drag a Text Generation node and connect it to the research agent. Set the prompt to: "Summarize the following research findings into a clear, structured document."

  5. Add an Output Node

    Drag an Output node and connect it to the summarization step. Choose "Google Doc" as the output format.

  6. Run the Workflow

    Click "Run", enter a topic (e.g., "Latest advances in renewable energy"), and watch the agents execute each step.

Workflow Definition (YAML)
name: "My First Research Summary"
version: "1.0"

inputs:
  topic:
    type: text
    description: "Research topic to summarize"

steps:
  - id: research
    agent: web-research
    input: "{{ inputs.topic }}"
    config:
      max_sources: 10
      recency: "last_30_days"

  - id: summarize
    agent: text-generation
    input: "{{ steps.research.output }}"
    prompt: "Summarize these findings into a clear report."

output:
  format: google-doc
  destination: "My Drive/Antigravity Outputs"
