Ask HN: What's your thought on Google Antigravity?

Hi HN,

I tried Google Antigravity and I was not very much impressed even with Gemini 3.1 Pro as a model it was not able to change the static loader in a div with a GIF. Also I have an packages php page it made edit that corrupted whole file.

Comparing it with cursor is like comparing apple with oranges. While cursor handles 90% of the tasks at workplace. Google’s Antigravity seems to be much dumber version of the Cursor.

I love it. It remembers context well, and the code quality is top notch.

I usually copy paste screenshot of the result as a feedback, and use a couple of round of reviews after the first iteration. I also use it as a though partner on itself, asking it to take the role of a master ux designer, or expert sales person to find design flaws, and suggest improving the result... I am ditching intellij and Juno. I don't really like the editor on itself, because I am used to have my intellih shortcuts, but Gemini produces wonderfull code for me. Maybe because I give it good prompt. And the project I am building is a public good for society and the environment, so maybe gemini likes me more than he likes you... Who knows!

I generally think Google's Ai products are garbage, but I have only tried out Antigravity twice. I do like their models and the Agent Development Kit (and actually gaining adoption)

I suspect their core issue is (1) low quality instructions and system prompts (2) lost all their good PMs & designers
