Google I/O 2026 accelerates the transition from prompt to action with the announcement of Gemini 3.5 Flash. Combining Frontier intelligence with incredible speed, 3.5 Flash outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro in nearly every benchmark while running 4x faster than other Frontier models, giving you the fast engine you need for real-world agent workflows.
These features are now available with the release of the new Google Antigravity 2.0 desktop application, managed agents in Gemini API, and native Android vibe coding in Google AI Studio. Here are some highlights for developers building the future of agents.
Google anti-gravity ecosystem
Google Antigravity is an agent-first development platform for developers to take their ideas and turn them into production-ready apps. We are currently expanding the Antigravity ecosystem to manage and deploy agents that can be integrated across major developer surfaces.
Here’s a new way to interact with anti-gravity:
- Antigravity 2.0: The new standalone desktop application provides a complete agent-optimized experience. It serves as a central home for agent interactions and allows multiple agents to coordinate and perform tasks in parallel. It also features dynamic subagents for parallelized workflows, scheduled tasks for background automation, and ecosystem integration across Google AI Studio, Android, and Firebase.
- Anti-gravity CLI: For those who prefer to stay in the terminal, the Antigravity CLI provides a lightweight and fast product surface that allows you to instantly create new agents without a graphical user interface. Gemini CLI users are encouraged to migrate to Antigravity CLI.
- Antigravity SDK: Provides programmatic access to the same agent harness that powers Google’s products. An SDK optimized for Gemini models allows you to define custom agent behavior and host it on the infrastructure of your choice.
- Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Anti-Gravity: Simplify enterprise workloads by allowing Google Cloud customers to connect Antigravity directly to their Google Cloud projects.
- Google AI Ultra subscriptions now starting at $100: We’re introducing a new $100/month AI Ultra plan with 5x higher Google Antigravity usage limits than the Google AI Pro plan, designed to bring the frontier of intelligence to your workflows. For a limited time, we’re offering new and existing Google AI Ultra subscribers $100 in Antigravity bonus credits when you reach your plan’s quota limit. Simply claim your benefits in the Antigravity app. This offer expires May 25, 2026. Terms and conditions apply.
Gemini API Managed Agent
Deploy managed agents to the Gemini API. With a single API call, you can now launch an agent that infers, uses tools, and executes code in an isolated Linux environment. The managed agent is built on Gemini 3.5 Flash and leverages the Antigravity agent harness available via the Interactions API and Google AI Studio.
- Anti-gravity agent harness: You have access to the same technology and infrastructure that powers our proprietary agents. This harness is optimized for use with Gemini models, especially the Gemini 3.5 Flash.
- Permanent isolated environment: Each interaction creates an environment where follow-up calls can be resumed with all files and state intact, enabling seamless multi-turn sessions.
- Define your own agent. Extend your Antigravity agent with custom instructions and skills using markdown files and get started quickly with your new custom agent template in Google AI Studio Playground.
Google AI Studio mobile and ecosystem integration
Developers can bring their ideas to life using the latest Gemini models using Google AI Studio, powered by Antigravity coding agents. Now we are expanding where and how it can be used. Developers can bring their ideas to life using the latest Gemini models using Google AI Studio, powered by Antigravity coding agents. Today we’re expanding where and how you can use it.
- Google AI Studio app: With pre-registration starting this week, our new mobile app lets you capture ideas on the go and have a working prototype ready by the time you get to your desk.
- Workspace integration: Agents can now call relevant Google Workspace APIs natively and embed them directly into your applications.
- Export to Antigravity: The new integration allows you to move from Google AI Studio to Antigravity’s local development and production environment with one click, including the context of your entire project, so you can pick up where you left off.
- Native Android support: We’ve added integrations to help you build high-quality Android apps with just a prompt. We’re also introducing support for the Google Play Console in Google AI Studio so developers can publish apps directly to test tracks.
Build with Gemini XPRIZE Hackathon
We are launching the Build with Gemini XPRIZE hackathon. This is the largest global hackathon in history with a prize pool of $2 million. Developers can use Gemini to build on our models, tools, and platforms to create real-world applications that solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from reducing food waste to advancing scientific research. Finalists will pitch live and compete for the grand prize at the Moonshot Gathering in Los Angeles this September.
The leap from single-turn prompts to collaborative, always-on agents will change the way developers build software, and we’re just getting started. Our goal is to ease that transition. The new Antigravity platform, Gemini API managed agents, and Google AI Studio enhancements remove infrastructure friction so you can focus on bringing your ideas to life.
