Google Antigravity Launches Remote Agents: Agent Sessions Run in a Google-Managed Cloud Environment and Keep Working After You Close Your Laptop, Rolling Out to AI Pro and Ultra
Ivan Leo, who works on developer experience at Google DeepMind, shared the official docs for Antigravity's new Remote Agents feature on X on November 4. Per the docs, Remote Agents run agent sessions and tools in an isolated, Google-managed remote environment, so tasks keep going when you close your laptop or browser or switch between desktop and mobile. Sessions start from the Antigravity App, the Antigravity CLI (1.4.12+, agy --remote-agent) or the web at antigravity.google.com, and remote projects can attach GitHub repositories, Google Drive files and uploads. It is rolling out gradually to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers on personal accounts; it is not available on the free plan, AI Plus or business accounts.
Key Takeaways
- Remote Agents run in an isolated Google-managed environment with no local machine required; Remote Control instead connects to your own computer or server, and the web sidebar switches between them.
- Three entry points: a New Remote Project in the Antigravity App, agy --remote-agent in CLI 1.4.12+, or antigravity.google.com in any browser, including mobile.
- Remote projects can attach GitHub repositories (cloned automatically), Google Drive files and uploads (8 MiB per file, 100 MiB per project, 2 GiB per account).
- CLI remote sessions default to the always-proceed (turbo) permission preset, so commands run without approval; locally installed MCP servers, plugins and skills are not available remotely yet.
- Only for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers on personal accounts, rolling out gradually; not on the free plan, AI Plus or Workspace/Cloud business accounts.
