Is Gemini suitable for coding on Antigravity IDE?

I’m a newbie in coding and have been trying out Gemini on the Antigravity IDE. I wanted to share my experience and see if others feel the same.

Pros: Large context window is nice. That’s pretty much all Gemini offers.

Cons:

Gemini doesn’t really function like a coding specialist. I’m using it on an IDE bro​:roll_eyes:

It struggles to follow rules and global guidelines, which makes coding frustrating.

Let dun talk about UI code first, sometimes even the foundation codebase can’t be built as expected. It always “thinks” more than necessary.

In short: it overthinks.

Issue:

Think too much, can’t have a balance point.

Antigravity updates are too slow.

Gemini hasn’t improved, and it feels stuck.

Hello @Malcolm_Khong, welcome to AI Forum.

That is a great question. Gemini is not only suitable but is actually the foundational engine behind Antigravity’s ‘agent-first’ architecture.

In this environment, Gemini doesn’t just act as a chatbot; it powers distinct roles that handle planning, implementation, and testing in parallel. Because Antigravity is built natively by Google, it utilizes Gemini’s latest reasoning capabilities to manage the ‘inner monologue’ between these agents, making it a very powerful tool for end-to-end software engineering tasks.
