In-Depth Comparison

Google Antigravity Overview

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.

Cursor Overview

Cursor is a fork of VS Code redesigned from the ground up for AI-powered development. It features tab completions, natural language code editing, codebase-wide chat, and multi-file editing. Its deep editor integration makes it one of the most polished AI coding tools available.
