Google Antigravity adds an interface for knowledge work

Google has introduced a new interface for Antigravity, its AI agent app, designed for tasks such as research, data analysis and creating documents. The Antigravity Team announces the change on the Google Antigravity Blog, while emphasizing that software development remains central to the product.

Users can now choose between Knowledge Work and Software Engineering layouts. Both use the same agent and retain access to AI models, local files, plugins and other tools. The new layout changes how people interact with the agent rather than limiting what it can do.

Google says users have increasingly brought noncoding tasks to Antigravity, including presentations, design prototypes and workflow automation. The company also says tens of thousands of Google employees outside software engineering use the app weekly.

What changes in the app

The Knowledge Work layout lets users create projects based on local folders or start conversations without a project. It hides controls associated with Git, a system developers use to manage code changes.

During a task, the app shows a progress line instead of detailed technical activity. Permission requests use plain-language summaries. A side panel appears when a conversation produces output and focuses on items such as documents, links and background tasks. The terminal and detailed developer settings move out of the main view.

New users can select a field of work during setup to receive a suggested layout, prompts and plugins. Existing users keep the Software Engineering layout by default. To switch, open Settings, then General, then Interface Layout. The change applies immediately without restarting the app.
