Anti-gravity

The term gained prominence in November 2025 when Google introduced Antigravity as an agent-first coding platform built for their Gemini AI system. Multiple technology publications reported on its launch as an integrated development environment designed specifically for working with autonomous AI agents in software development workflows.

Google's Antigravity represents a notable development in AI-assisted programming by shifting toward agent-based development environments that run locally on developers' computers. Early reports suggest it could potentially replace traditional IDE workflows, though some initial user experiences indicate typical early-adoption challenges that often accompany such platform transitions.

While sharing the same name, Google's software tool is unrelated to the physics concept of gravitational opposition. The company's choice of terminology reflects the metaphorical "lifting" of development constraints rather than any connection to physical antigravity research.
