I had the same poor initial experience that others reported, but has anyone been paying for it recently and using it as a serious tool? Their new models are a pretty good value and crazy fast; I wonder if the Gemini on Antigravity output is overall competitive or has some niche use case other than being a frontend for Agent Substrate and their other projects

> Plan availability: The /boost command is available on paid plans across Google Antigravity 2.0 and the Antigravity CLI. They are ignoring antigravity IDE like it does not exist anymore. https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-ide

> Google Antigravity's Editor view offers tab autocompletion, natural language code commands, and a configurable, and context-aware configurable agent.

They’ve had this weird phrasing on this landing page for at least 6 months if not longer. It’s clearly a landing page that receives no love.

I have some super specialized workflow I wish I can run with their model, but looks like they don't allow programmatic call (claude code and codex allows it) in their plan.

Not sure if it solves your problem, but there's a command line tool for Antigravity

And yet I just installed Antigravity, and it had a default checked box to also install Antigravity IDE. So someone still cares enough to try and juice the install numbers

It's because they did a very bad rollout with 2.0 which totally removed the editor, which frustrated a lot of people, so then they added all these ways to install the version with the editor again to try to fix that.

Their attention is definitely focused on the non IDE tool

All these /boost, ultracode and other magic incancations seem to be just "throw more money/tokens at the problem and maybe it helps".

I found they work pretty well for security reviews or similar large scale, file-by-file transformations.

What's with all this AI spam for AI companies?! Seriously!? Every single hour on HN it's OpenAI does this, Gemini does that. It's all nothing. Extra reasoning. Big whoop.

The plates all need to keep spinning faster all the time.
