Google Launches Antigravity 2 Desktop Agent Hub, Replacing Workspaces With Multi-Directory Projects

Summary
Antigravity 2 shifts Google’s agent tool from an IDE into a standalone, chat-first desktop app for quick prompting or project-based work, while the original Antigravity IDE remains available for users who want coding and orchestration together.
Projects now replace single-directory workspaces, adding isolated settings and permissions and allowing multiple directories in one setup; users can also choose direct local editing or a Git worktree per conversation to avoid conflicts.
Google also added slash commands such as /btw and /grill-me, plus subagents and background execution to support parallel agent workflows, though the report noted API timeouts can wipe a grilling session’s context.
Built-in bundles target Google stacks including modern web, Android CLI and DeepMind science workflows, but Antigravity still limits model choices to Gemini, Claude and GPT rather than self-hosted models.
