Google Adds a Knowledge Work Layout to Its Antigravity AI App

The new view uses the same agent as the software engineering layout. Google says tens of thousands of employees in nonengineering roles use Antigravity each week.

Google introduced a Knowledge Work layout for Antigravity on Nov. 9, giving employees who use its AI agent for research, writing and data tasks a workspace centered on conversations and completed work.

The new view brings conversations, documents and task outputs into focus. It leaves the terminal, Git controls and code-change history out of the main interface, while using the same agent as the software engineering layout. Google says the agent can use files on a user's computer and carry out tasks with several steps, even if the user does not know how a code repository works.

Users can select either layout in settings. The choice takes effect for ongoing and future conversations, with no app restart required. Google's changelog says Knowledge Work is unavailable to business and enterprise accounts.

On first use, Antigravity asks users to select the description that best fits their work. Google says the selection guides the initial layout and prompts and informs plugin recommendations. The changelog separately says choosing a suggested starting point can add a plugin needed for it.

The layout change does not remove access to models, plugins, Skills, MCP or custom agents, Google says. The software engineering layout remains an option for users who want its developer controls visible.

The company reports weekly Antigravity use by tens of thousands of employees working in fields beyond software engineering. Its examples include sales, finance, legal, design, research, marketing and operations. Google did not provide a more precise user total.
