Google just dropped Antigravity 2.0 at I/O 2026—and in the same breath, it killed Gemini CLI, stranded a lot of chat histories in a backup directory, and shipped three new surfaces sharing the same brand. If you opened the app this morning and panicked because your conversations are gone, keep reading. We'll fix it.
What just happened at I/O 2026
On May 18, 2026, Google rebranded Antigravity from a "cursor competitor" into a full agent-first development platform powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash. The brand now spans four products:
Antigravity 2.0 — the new standalone desktop app with multi-agent orchestration
Antigravity CLI — a Go-based terminal tool replacing Gemini CLI
