Google launches office mode for Antigravity: removes terminal and Git, retains full Agent capabilities

Beating AI News Flash: Google's AI coding tool Antigravity has added a "Knowledge Work" office mode, making the AI Agent originally designed for programmers more easily usable for research, writing, data analysis, creating documents and presentations.

The new mode hides development tools such as the terminal, Git, and code change history, focusing instead on conversations, documents, and task outputs. Users can directly have the Agent process local files, invoke tools, and complete multi-step tasks without needing to understand code repositories.

Both the old and new modes use exactly the same underlying Agent—models, plugins, Skills, MCP, and custom Agents are all unchanged. Users can switch at any time without restarting the application.

Google revealed that tens of thousands of non-software-engineering employees across the company currently use Antigravity weekly, covering departments including sales, finance, legal, design, research, and operations.
