Google Antigravity App v2.29.0 (changelog dated November 3, 2026) is rolling out Remote Agents, plus Voice Mode and a UI redesign. 9to5Google covered the drop on Nov 6.

Remote Agents, not Remote Control. Sessions and tools run in an isolated, Google-managed remote environment (cloud VMs) — not on your laptop. They keep going when you close the browser, sleep the machine, or switch desktop/mobile. That is different from Remote Control, which drives your own computer and needs it to stay on.

Who gets it. Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers signed in with a personal Google Account. Gradual rollout. Not on free, Google AI Plus, or business (Workspace / Google Cloud).

How you start. Create a remote project at antigravity.google.com (also /remote). Attach GitHub repos, Google Drive files, or uploaded files. Uploads: up to 8 MiB per file, 50 files / 100 MiB per project, 2 GiB account total.

CLI. agy --remote-agent needs Antigravity CLI 1.4.12+ (agy update). Default remote permission preset is always-proceed (turbo) unless you change it. Remote CLI lacks print mode, local MCP/plugins/skills, and some slash commands (/diff, /fork, /rewind, /btw, voice, ! shell, @ to subagents).

Also in v2.29: Voice mode (Gemini Live); redesigned conversation page (prompt box bottom, greeting top); default Onyx theme + Google Sans; Automations lists (Scheduled / Always on / Paused); Jupyter viewer; built-in browser download drawer.

Caveats. Gradual rollout — not GA for everyone. Pro/Ultra personal only. Remote Agents ≠ Remote Control. Default turbo permissions are aggressive; change the preset if you need tighter control. MODEL has not tested it.
