# Google Antigravity 337 Hacker News commenters recommended Google Antigravity and 576 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 13 of 13 months; owners who said how long report a median of 0.1 years (26 owners). **Verdict:** Recommended for its generous usage limits, including Claude models, and its multi-agent and browser automation, though many report bugs, sudden quota cuts and risky unsupervised commands. ## Why people recommend it - Generous limits including Claude models (5 comments): "In Antigravity sometimes if Gemini can't figure something even on high, Claude can give another perspective and this moves things along." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47663690)) "their antigravity limits for Opus and Sonnet for the $20 plan has higher limits than CC $20 plan, and there is no weekly cap" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47078334)) "I've become an Antigravity convert mainly because of the generous limits, especially on the Anthropic models." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48227583)) - Manages multiple background agents (3 comments): "The Agent Manager view providing a unified view of all active agents and allowing you to immediately respond to any approval requests or followup questions looks very useful" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45972603)) "Antigravity supports running multiple agent and process threads in the background while keeping the main thread free for conversation" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48243948)) "Antigravity started the workflow where you give a list of things to do and it goes off and does those things without supervision" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48758433)) - Drives a browser autonomously (2 comments): "Just make a blank workspace and ask it to use a browser to do X and it'll start chrome and start navigating, clicking, scrolling, etc." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46341005)) "You can also ask antigravity to fill out the forms if it is in the browser (from the spreadsheet data)." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48248148)) - Deep agentic workflow integration (3 comments): "The integration level with agentic functionality provided by Antigravity goes much deeper in my 20 minutes or so of playing with it." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45972498)) "Antigravity even includes specialized UI for a user to annotate selected portions of an LLM-generated plan" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47112715)) "a few of my colleagues used it saying it is good and they completed a huge chunk of work with Antigravity" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45976841)) ## What people warn about - Buggy and unstable experience (5 comments): "It's a little bit rough around the edges as it's a VS Code fork so things like C# Dev Kit won't install." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46040040)) "I've been using Antigravity mainly because of its tab completions. ... But it was a broken experience" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48223327)) "Antigravity is absolutely horrible. It routinely writes broken code and then ends up in a short term cycle of reverting and re-implementing." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49553950)) - Sudden rate limits and quota cuts (3 comments): "I just heard a lot of people complaining as recently as ~1 month ago that they hit the rate limits very quickly" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47080329)) "Their recent silent rug pull on quotas, where without any warning you get rate-limited for 5 days in the middle of code refactoring" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46999879)) "Now with Flash 3.5 they combined the quotas with Pro, such that on a Google pro account you can work 4-5 hours per week in Flash" ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48210341)) - Destructive or insecure agent actions (3 comments): "If you give an llm access to sensitive data, user input and the ability to make arbitrary http calls it should be blindingly obvious that it's insecure." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46051138)) "Gemini Antigravty wipes the entire storage drive partition because it missed a quotation in function code it wrote and ran without checking." ([source](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46098173)) "Does it default to on?
