It even has a playground, no longer requiring opening a new folder to do off the cuff tests! Getting "emails" from your agents is wild ngl

What's cool about Anti-gravity is the new Manager mode, where instead of being a developer, you're effectively a PM, running a bunch of agents, getting messages from them in an Inbox and maintaining a fleet of agents!
The agents can open the browser, record a video and iterate

It's live now at antigravity.google across MacOS, Linux and Windows! It has a plan mode and a code mode and Gemini 3 pro is really powerful in vibe coding things.

Antigravity is a VScode clone, but has direct access to a Chrome browser via an extension (no MCP support yet) and can perform actions, click things etc.
It also has a cool agent only mode and artifacts! I really like it and expect to be using it going forward for vibe coding

Ok now for the really big bomb, Joining Jules and Gemini CLI, Google releases Antigravity, their VSCode clone for agentic coding, powered by Gemini 3 Pro!
I've been testing this for a bit, and I really like it! The biggest surprise, they will be offering this for FREE 👀

I'll be posting a full breakdown of the new Agent search separately, but Gemini app will now be able to take actions on your behalf! Finally, Google is stepping into the Agentic AI scene, with work that started with Mariner a while ago! 👀

Both Pro and Thinking will be available in @Google search as well (with a smart router)
In AI mode, you are now able to ask for a deeper and richer results and the generative UIs are featured here as well, here's an example of a loan calculator vibe coded just for a Mortgage

The Era of Generative UI is here!
Thanks to Gemini-3 pro multimodal understanding, Google is basically shipping mini-apps at inference time!
This will include rich media previews, but also, vibe coded apps just for your request! Honestly bonkers!

Gemini was always a beast at multimodal, but 3 takes it even further!

Sora2 from @openai released just 2 days ago, and people are creating and remixing incredible things.
The top video with 2.2K likes is a selfie video of Jesus during the last supper, but it only starts there. Sora allows folks to remix any video by adding their own prompt.

Very welcome addition, the newsletter website has support for AB testing titles! Very interesting that the title that got the most opens for my last @thursdai_pod was the one with the 📆 emoji but without the date + a little bit of a clickbaity title 🤔
