Google adds Antigravity to Gemini Enterprise subscriptions
Fri, 21st Aug 2026 (Today)
Google has made Antigravity available through eligible Gemini Enterprise subscriptions, bringing the coding agent into its enterprise software bundle with administrative and spending controls.
The update expands access beyond Antigravity's standalone surfaces and adds it to Gemini Enterprise Standard, Plus, and Standard Emerging Market subscriptions. Administrators can enable Antigravity and Android Studio tools for licensed users through the Gemini Enterprise admin console.
The package is aimed at companies that want to give developers access to AI coding tools without managing separate licences, billing systems, and security settings. It also includes pooled usage, budget controls, and audit functions for enterprise teams overseeing software development spending and compliance.
Spend controls
New financial controls include monthly project-level budget caps in Google's billing console. Organisations can also use shared token pools so usage bought for one team does not sit idle if demand rises elsewhere in the business.
Administrators can opt into overage billing with monthly spend caps if pooled quotas are exhausted. Central usage tracking is also included, covering token consumption, API calls, and developer activity.
Additional per-user and team spending controls are due later. For now, the main emphasis is on project budgeting and pooled quotas for organisations using Gemini Enterprise.
Security settings
Antigravity in Gemini Enterprise falls under Google Cloud's standard security and compliance framework. IT teams can set policies around workspace access, browser access, and MCP server access, and can enable audit logging from a single console.
Audit logs can capture prompts, agent responses, and related metadata for compliance reporting. Customer data ownership remains under Google Cloud terms, and agent activity stays within the customer's cloud boundary.
The rollout also adds support for Workforce Identity Federation and Application Default Credentials. These tools are intended to help administrators apply corporate identity standards across development environments while reducing setup work for technical teams.
Developer access
Google is also expanding the places where developers can use Antigravity. New extensions support Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio in preview, JetBrains in preview, and Zed in preview, alongside the Antigravity 2.0 desktop application and the Antigravity command-line interface.
The expansion follows customer feedback requesting access to coding agents inside the tools they already use. By adding IDE extensions and tying them to enterprise controls, Google is aiming to address both developer workflow preferences and centralised governance requirements.
The changes are part of a broader effort to bring AI developer tools and enterprise administration into one subscription, avoiding separate procurement and management processes for coding tools.
Several consulting and outsourcing groups also commented on the launch as users or partners. Their remarks focused on combining broader access to AI coding tools with security, cost management, and existing software delivery processes.
"Deploying Antigravity in Gemini Enterprise allows Accenture to arm our engineers with Google DeepMind's premier technology on the secure, trusted foundation of Google Cloud. Abstracting away operational complexity ensures our teams don't have to choose between developer speed and enterprise-grade governance - freeing them to deliver high-velocity engineering and transformative value for our clients," said Chetna Sehgal, Global Practise Lead, Accenture Google Business Group.
AirAsia Next outlined use beyond software teams.
"At AirAsia and across the Group, we're all about empowering our people. Bringing highly capable Gemini models directly into our daily workflows with Antigravity 2.0 does exactly that. We are putting the most advanced AI capabilities into the hands of our entire workforce, from software engineering to finance, marketing, legal, HR, and much more. This empowers both our developers and critical back-office teams to innovate at an unprecedented pace and drive proven time-savings across the board," said Nikunj Shanti, Chief Technology Officer, AirAsia Next.
CGI linked the tools to software delivery workflows and engineering quality measures.
"Enterprises are moving beyond AI experimentation and expecting measurable business outcomes. With Gemini Enterprise and next-generation developer tools like Antigravity 2.0 and Antigravity CLI, we see significant opportunities to further embed agentic AI, particularly the advanced reasoning capabilities of Gemini models, directly into software delivery workflows. This goes beyond productivity as it enables faster decision-making, higher code quality, and reduced technical debt at scale. What stands out is how these capabilities are helping our teams evolve from writing code to orchestrating outcomes, strengthening every phase of the software development lifecycle while scaling innovation securely and responsibly," said Rakesh Aerath, President, Asia Pacific Global Delivery Centres of Excellence, CGI.
Cognizant highlighted the wider set of development surfaces now supported.
"Every developer workflow is unique, and agentic AI should adapt to the engineer, not the other way around. With Google Antigravity supported across developers' preferred IDEs, the desktop app, and the CLI, Cognizant can seamlessly embed agentic engineering across our global delivery centers. It gives our teams the freedom to choose their preferred surface while delivering high-velocity, secure software for our clients," said Varrier.
