Aider is an open-source AI pair programming tool that works in your terminal. It can edit multiple files, understand your git history, create commits, and works with virtually any LLM via API. Known for its practical approach to real-world coding tasks and excellent benchmark scores.
Antigravity is Google's agentic development platform, launched alongside Gemini 3: a VS Code-style IDE where an agent manager dispatches agents that work across the editor, terminal, and a Chrome browser they control — producing verifiable artifacts (plans, screenshots, browser recordings) as they go. The free public preview and Gemini 3 Pro quality made it an instant heavyweight, but it's still early: capacity limits, preview rough edges, and early prompt-injection concerns around the browser-control surface mean production teams should keep a human on the loop.
