Antigravity Remote Agents run your agent sessions and tools in an isolated, Google-managed remote environment rather than on your local machine.

Because execution happens remotely, Remote Agents continue working on long-running tasks and executing commands even when you close your browser, put your laptop to sleep, or switch between desktop and mobile devices.

Antigravity provides two ways to work with agents remotely depending on where your code and tools live. Use the following table to compare Remote Agents and Remote Control:

FeatureRemote AgentsRemote Control
Execution environmentIsolated, Google-managed remote environmentYour own desktop workstation or server
Host machine requirementRuns independently; no local machine needs to stay onRequires your host machine to remain powered on and online
Workspace and filesRemote Resources (GitHub repositories, Google Drive files, and uploaded files)Local filesystem folders, local toolchains, and Git worktrees
Best forRepository tasks, mobile workflows, and background execution while awayTasks that require local hardware, local dev servers, or uncommitted local checkouts

You can launch and manage Remote Agents from the Antigravity App on your desktop or directly from any web browser at antigravity.google.com.

To create a remote project alongside your local projects in the Antigravity App, do the following:

  1. In the left sidebar, click + next to Projects (or open the project selector in the message box) and select New Remote Project.
  2. (Optional) Click Add Resource to attach GitHub repositories, Google Drive files, or uploaded files from your computer, and then click Next (or Skip if you do not add any resources yet).
  3. Enter a name in Set Project Name and click Create.
  4. Select your remote project and send a prompt in the message box to start a remote conversation.

You can also start a remote project directly from a GitHub repository in the message box:

  1. In the message box, click the project selector dropdown.
  2. Select Remote > GitHub Repositories. If you have not connected your GitHub account yet, click Connect GitHub to authorize access.
  3. Choose a repository from the list. Antigravity automatically selects an existing remote project for that repository or creates a new one.

To use Remote Agents from a desktop or mobile browser without installing a local application, do the following:

  1. Open your browser and navigate to antigravity.google.com.
  2. Sign in with a personal Google Account on an eligible plan (Google AI Pro or Google AI Ultra).
  3. Enter a prompt in the message box to start a standalone remote conversation, or click Create Project next to Projects in the left sidebar to configure a project with GitHub repositories, Google Drive files, or uploaded files.

Switch between Remote Agents and Remote Control

Section titled “Switch between Remote Agents and Remote Control”

If you also use Remote Control to connect to local Antigravity App or Antigravity CLI instances, use the instance switcher on antigravity.google.com (in the left sidebar above Settings on desktop browsers, or in the top bar on mobile) to switch between Remote Conversations and any of your connected host machines.

While local projects mount directories from your workstation under Folders, remote projects attach external context under Resources. You can attach or remove resources when creating a remote project, or at any time under Project Settings > Resources by clicking Add Resource:

  • GitHub: Authorize GitHub with OAuth and select one or more repositories to attach to the project. Conversations automatically clone and mount your connected repositories into the remote workspace for development. All private repositories within the same project must belong to the same GitHub user or organization owner; to work with private repositories from multiple owners, create a separate remote project for each owner.
  • Google Drive: Select files or folders from your Google Drive (using the Google Drive Picker on the web interface or the Drive file list in the Antigravity App), such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, or folders. The remote agent reads attached Drive files on demand during conversations.
  • Uploaded files: Upload local files from your device (up to 8 MiB per file, 50 files and 100 MiB per project, and 2 GiB total across your account), including source code, text and data files, images, PDFs, and .zip archives. Uploaded files persist across conversations in the project and are staged under /home/antigravity/upload.

Remote Agents support plugins that connect your agent to external tools and services:

  1. Open Customizations in the left sidebar and select the Marketplace tab (under Apps, or Installed once connected).
  2. Browse available plugins, such as GitHub, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and Google Calendar.
  3. Click Connect next to a plugin to authorize your account with OAuth.

Your OAuth credentials are encrypted at rest and tokens are securely injected when the remote agent makes requests to authorized services.
