Google Antigravity v2.29 Brings Remote Agents and a Gemini Live Voice Mode: Agent Sessions Run in a Google-Managed Cloud and Keep Working After You Close Your Laptop, Rolling Out to AI Pro and Ultra

Ivan Leo, who works on developer experience at Google DeepMind, shared the official docs for Antigravity's new Remote Agents feature on X on November 4. Per the docs, Remote Agents run agent sessions and tools in an isolated, Google-managed remote environment, so tasks keep going when you close your laptop or browser or switch between desktop and mobile. Sessions start from the Antigravity App, the Antigravity CLI (1.4.12+, agy --remote-agent) or the web at antigravity.google.com, and remote projects can attach GitHub repositories, Google Drive files and uploads. It is rolling out gradually to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers on personal accounts; it is not available on the free plan, AI Plus or business accounts. The official changelog shows this ships in Antigravity v2.29.0 (November 3), which also starts rolling out a voice mode powered by Gemini Live for handing requests to the agent by voice, redesigns the Automations page into Scheduled, Always on and Paused lists, and adds a native Jupyter notebook viewer.

Key Takeaways

  • Remote Agents run in an isolated Google-managed environment with no local machine required; Remote Control instead connects to your own computer or server, and the web sidebar switches between them.
  • Three entry points: a New Remote Project in the Antigravity App, agy --remote-agent in CLI 1.4.12+, or antigravity.google.com in any browser, including mobile.
  • Remote projects can attach GitHub repositories (cloned automatically), Google Drive files and uploads (8 MiB per file, 100 MiB per project, 2 GiB per account).
  • CLI remote sessions default to the always-proceed (turbo) permission preset, so commands run without approval; locally installed MCP servers, plugins and skills are not available remotely yet.
  • Also in v2.29.0 (November 3): a Gemini Live voice mode rolling out gradually, a redesigned Automations page, and native rendering of .ipynb notebooks.

Gemini Live moves past chat to Spark tasks, Daily Brief, Gmail, and Personal Intelligence

Google AI’s weekly recap said Gemini Live now goes beyond conversation: voice commands can hand multi-step jobs to Spark across Docs, Sheets, Drive, and the web (including work that continues for days), Daily Brief speaks a Gmail-and-Calendar digest, inbox actions run hands-free, and Personal Intelligence ties chat history to connected Google apps. That turns a voice session into a dispatcher for long-running agents rather than a live Q&A window. The same week launched Expert Intelligence, which can pull eligible purchased Play Books titles into Gemini Notebook as grounded sources.

Key Takeaways

  • Live can dispatch multi-step Spark jobs across Docs, Sheets, Drive, and the web, including multi-day runs.
  • Daily Brief speaks a Gmail/Calendar digest; inbox search, summarize, star, archive, and delete work hands-free.
  • Personal Intelligence uses chat plus connected apps; Expert Intelligence adds owned Play Books into Notebook.
