- 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.
# 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.
-
Create a New Workflow
Click "New Workflow" from the dashboard. Name it "My First Research Summary" and select the blank template.
-
Add an Input Node
Drag an Input node onto the canvas. Set the variable name to
topicand type totext. This is where you'll enter your research topic. -
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.
-
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."
-
Add an Output Node
Drag an Output node and connect it to the summarization step. Choose "Google Doc" as the output format.
-
Run the Workflow
Click "Run", enter a topic (e.g., "Latest advances in renewable energy"), and watch the agents execute each step.
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"
