Google Integrates Antigravity into Gemini Enterprise to Bolster Corporate Controls

Google is shifting its Antigravity agentic AI coding assistant into the orbit of Gemini Enterprise app subscriptions, placing the platform under the governance of Google Cloud controls, The Register reports.

Originally developed by the DeepMind AI research group, Antigravity is accessible via a desktop app, command line interface, software development kit, and a dedicated integrated development environment (IDE). According to a blog post by group product manager Damith Karunaratne and senior director of engineering Scott Densmore, the integration follows requests from enterprise customers for improved governance, compliance, and security controls, as well as availability through standard development tools. Consequently, Antigravity is now available as an extension for Zed, JetBrains, Visual Studio, and Visual Studio Code.

From an operational standpoint, the integration allows administrators to manage security settings, invoices, and tool licenses through a single console. Densmore and Karunaratne noted that IT teams can now enforce data privacy, enable full audit logging, and establish workspace access boundaries. Specific agent behavioral controls include the ability to restrict file access to working folders, limit web browser access to specific sites, and require agents to seek permission or use a sandbox before executing terminal commands.

To manage costs, Gemini Enterprise provides project-level budget caps and a token pooling mechanism to prevent unused tokens. While user and team controls are expected later this year, admins currently have visibility into API calls, token usage, and developer activity, with the option to enable overages.

This shift occurs amid broader organizational changes at Google. The Register reports that chief scientist Jeff Dean and three colleagues recently left the company, and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis has transitioned to chairman, with Koray Kavukcuoglu taking over as SVP.
