Google enters AI agent platform race as runtime differentiation fades
By
Janakiram MSV
Summary
Google repositioned Antigravity as a platform for developing and managing teams of autonomous AI agents at its I/O conference. The platform allows developers to spin up remote Linux sandboxes where agents can reason, call tools, run code, and browse the web via a single API call. Developers extend agents by writing AGENTS.md and SKILL.md files without needing orchestration code. The article notes that Google, Anthropic, and AWS all shipped managed AI agent runtimes within six weeks, suggesting the runtime itself is no longer the differentiating factor for developers.
