We've moved from manual coding to AI-assisted coding, and now, we've entered the era of "Vibe Coding" with Google Antigravity. This revolutionary tool allows anyone to build complex, functional applications using nothing but natural language prompts. In this guide, we'll explore how to master Antigravity, look at real-world success stories like MoneySense AI and MenuGo, and provide you with the tips and tricks needed to separate yourself from the beginners. Google Antigravity is an agent-first development platform that acts as your personal software engineering team. It doesn't just suggest code; it plans, writes, executes, and tests applications autonomously. To truly master Antigravity, you must understand its "Mission Control" setup: Antigravity isn't just for toy projects. It's being used to refine and build professional-grade applications. MoneySense AI is a sophisticated financial management tool. While the core logic was established, the developers used Antigravity to refine the user experience and visual interface. By feeding the agent existing code and brand guidelines, they were able to: MenuGo is a brilliant example of a "Vibe Coded" success. It's a digital QR code menu generator for restaurants. Built with the speed and efficiency of Antigravity, MenuGo features: MenuGo demonstrates how Antigravity can handle not just the frontend, but also complex backend integrations and AI-driven features. To get the most out of this tool, you need to go beyond simple prompts. Here are the "Hidden Features" used by pros: Don't just type a long prompt into the chat. Create dedicated Markdown files in your workspace: The agent will reference these files constantly, leading to much higher quality outputs. For complex apps, always use Planning Mode. This forces the agent to write out its steps before execution. If the plan looks wrong, you can correct it before a single line of code is written, saving you time and rate limits. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Antigravity's superpower. You can connect your app to: If you're confident in your instructions, go to User Settings > Agent and set the review policy to "Always Proceed." This allows the agent to work autonomously while you grab a coffee, coming back to a finished (or nearly finished) product. Ready to start? Here are three examples of apps you can build with Antigravity right now: Prompt Idea: "Build a Next.js app that uses the camera to scan barcodes (simulated) and updates a Google Sheet via MCP. Include a dashboard showing low-stock alerts based on brand guidelines in brand.md." Prompt Idea: "Create a travel itinerary app. Use the Browser Agent to fetch current weather for the destination and suggest activities. Allow users to save itineraries to a local JSON file." Prompt Idea: "Build a minimal Learning Management System where I can upload PDFs. Use the agent to summarize the PDFs and create a quiz for each chapter. Store progress in a local SQLite database." Google Antigravity is more than just a tool; it's a shift in how we think about creation. By mastering the vibe, providing structured context, and leveraging autonomous testing, you can build applications that previously required a full team of developers. Stop coding. Start vibing.
