Anti-gravity is a new AI developer platform from Google DeepMind designed with an agent-first approach. It integrates an editor, a browser, and an agent manager to provide a cohesive environment for AI-powered software development. The platform aims to leverage advancements in AI models, particularly in areas like reasoning, multimodal capabilities, and tool use, to enable more ambitious and complex agentic workflows.

This talk introduces Windsurf, an AI-powered editor designed to revolutionize software creation by extending beyond traditional code completion. The core thesis is that AI should operate on a shared timeline with human developers, ingesting context from all sources a developer uses and taking actions across various platforms, not just within the IDE. This approach aims to enable AI to perform nearly all tasks a human software engineer would, moving towards a future where AI handles 99% of the workflow with human oversight only for final approval.

Windsurf is an AI agent-powered IDE designed to significantly increase developer productivity by automating a large portion of code generation. The core thesis is that agents are the future of software development, capable of handling routine tasks and complex problem-solving, allowing developers to focus on higher-level product building and feature creation. Windsurf aims to keep developers in a state of flow by minimizing manual input and maximizing the agent's contribution.
