Antigravity adds cloud agents and voice mode. Who gets them, and how to start

What Google shipped

Antigravity’s changelog lists version 2.29.0 on November 3, 2026, and says two large features “are starting to roll out”:

• Remote agents. “Conversations in a cloud project run in the cloud instead of on your computer, and you can also open them at antigravity.google.com/remote.”
• Voice mode, “enabled by Gemini Live,” which “lets you talk to Antigravity and hand requests to the agent by voice.” Google announced it on its blog on November 6.

The rollout took six days. Version 2.30.0, on November 9, says: “Voice mode and remote agents have also finished rolling out.” If you don’t see them, update the app first, because the changelog also says: “New versions roll out gradually and may take a few days to reach all users.”

Google’s other pages haven’t caught up. On November 9, the Remote Agents page still said the feature “is rolling out gradually,” and the voice mode page still said it “might also not be available for your account yet.”

Two more things came with it. Version 2.29.1, on November 7, fixed four voice mode problems, including a “Couldn’t connect” error that appeared when your sign-in needed an update. And 2.30.0’s main addition is a Knowledge Work layout, “a simpler interface for research, writing, and everyday tasks,” which you choose in Settings, then General, then Interface Layout, “except on business and enterprise accounts.”

Who can use them

Account	Remote agents	Voice mode
Free	No	Yes
Google AI Plus	No	Yes
Google AI Pro, $19.99 a month	Yes, “on a paid plan” and a personal account	Yes
Google AI Ultra, from $99.99 a month	Yes, on a personal account	Yes
Business accounts (Google Workspace or Google Cloud)	No	No

The 2.30.0 entry draws both lines. Voice mode “is now available to everyone except business and enterprise accounts.” Remote agents “have finished rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers and to Google AI Pro subscribers on a paid plan,” and the Remote Agents page adds that you sign in “with a personal Google Account” and that they aren’t “on the free plan, on Google AI Plus, or for business accounts (Google Workspace or Google Cloud).” The prices are from Google’s plans page.

An account that qualifies isn’t all voice mode needs. Its page says the button doesn’t appear when you’re signed out or have reached your usage limit.

How to start a remote agent

Pick whichever of these fits:

1. In the app: click + next to Projects in the sidebar, choose New Remote Project, attach what the agent needs, name the project, then send a prompt. Or open the project selector in the message box and choose Remote, then GitHub Repositories.
2. In a browser, on a computer or a phone: go to antigravity.google.com, sign in with an eligible personal account, and send a prompt.
3. In the CLI: run agy update to reach version 1.4.12 or later, then agy --remote-agent. The status line shows remote and the project’s name. Add --new-project for a new project named after the current folder, or -c to continue your last remote conversation.

A conversation started in one place can be continued from the CLI, the app or the web. Google says the agent “can’t read or change files on your machine,” so attach what it needs to the project: GitHub repositories, Google Drive files, or uploads.

Change one setting first

Check the permission preset before you give a remote agent a repository you care about. Google’s docs say: “Unless you change it, the permission preset is always-proceed (turbo), so remote agents run commands without asking for approval.”

The three presets are always-proceed (turbo), which “runs all commands without restrictions,” default, which “asks before sensitive operations,” and request review, which “asks before every command.” In the CLI, open /config in a remote session and press Tab to reach the Remote Agent tab, and use /permissions for allow, deny and ask rules. These settings are separate from your local ones and apply to all your remote agent sessions.

What remote agents can’t do yet

• Work on your local files. Uncommitted changes and local dev servers are Remote Control’s job, as Google’s comparison table says.
• Use what’s installed on your computer. The docs list “MCP servers, plugins, and agent skills installed on your machine” as unavailable. Plugins connected through the Marketplace are supported.
• Use several CLI features: --print, /codesearch, /diff, /fork, /rewind, /btw, /voice, ! commands and @ messages to subagents.
• Change execution mode. Sessions “always use the default execution mode, so plan, accept-edits, and auto mode aren’t available.”
• Mix private repositories from different owners in one project. All of a project’s private repositories must belong to the same GitHub user or organization.
• Take large uploads. The limits are 8 MiB per file, 50 files and 100 MiB per project, and 2 GiB across your account.

How voice mode works

In the app, clear the message box and click Start Voice mode. In the CLI, you need version 1.5.0 or later: run /voice live or press F6. You can give tasks, steer work as it runs, and answer permission prompts out loud.

• Destructive actions need a click. “You can’t approve destructive actions by voice,” such as rm, sudo or a force-push. You can still deny them by voice.
• It’s local only. Voice mode isn’t available in Remote Control sessions or in conversations that run in the cloud.
• One at a time. It can be on in only one conversation, and not in a subagent’s conversation or a side question.
• Your audio goes to Google. Antigravity “streams your microphone’s audio to Google servers.” In the app, the transcript is saved on your computer.

If the button is missing, Google’s troubleshooting says to clear the message box, including attachments, and check voice mode isn’t on in another conversation.

Which to use, and what about Jules

Use a remote agent for repository work you want to leave running. Use Remote Control when the work needs your own hardware, a local dev server or an uncommitted checkout, and your computer can stay on.

Jules users have a deadline. Google says you can finish sessions until November 11, 2026, after which Jules is read-only until it winds down on December 31. Remote agents are the closest thing Google offers, but they aren’t the same: Jules’s free tier gave 15 tasks a day, and remote agents have no free tier. Their page also doesn’t mention pull requests or issue labels. Here is what runs in the cloud today, and the cheapest plan for each:

Agent	Where it runs	Lowest individual plan
Antigravity remote agents	Google’s cloud	Google AI Pro, $19.99 a month
Codex	OpenAI’s cloud	ChatGPT Plus, $20 a month
Claude Code cloud sessions	Anthropic’s cloud	Claude Pro, $20 a month
Cursor cloud agents	Cursor’s cloud	Premium, $30 a month

What Google hasn’t said

• How remote agents count against your quota. The Remote Agents page doesn’t mention quota or credits, and Antigravity’s plans page doesn’t mention remote agents.
• What “on a paid plan” leaves out for Google AI Pro, such as whether a trial counts.
• Which models remote agents run. The page doesn’t name any.
• Whether business accounts will get them.
• Anything about remote agents in a launch post. The Antigravity blog covered voice mode on November 6 and the Knowledge Work layout on November 9, and had no post on remote agents on November 9.

One rumor is still open. TestingCatalog reported on November 1, from a hidden build and a tip, that the voice mode belonged to an upcoming agent called “Chief of Staff.” Its report on voice was borne out, but the changelog through 2.30.0, the voice mode page and Google’s November 6 post don’t use that name, and TestingCatalog itself says the agent’s ability to coordinate other agents “has not been confirmed.” Treat it as unannounced.

Antigravity in Enjoy

Enjoy runs Antigravity on your computer, on your Google account, through the server Google offers apps such as Zed and JetBrains IDEs. It doesn’t start or show remote agents, so use Google’s app, CLI or website for those. Its default there is permissive too: Bypass permissions “approves every action,” and you can switch to Auto-approve edits or Ask first.
