Antigravity Agent Manager: Where It Is and What Changed in 2.0

Agent Manager in Antigravity IDE vs Antigravity 2.0

Agent Manager originally described the mission-control view inside Antigravity IDE. It let developers start several agent tasks, inspect progress, review artifacts, and return to the editor when manual work was needed.

Antigravity 2.0 is presented as a broader agentic development platform rather than only a desktop IDE. That distinction matters when a tutorial says to click Open Agent Manager: the instruction can be correct for the legacy IDE while the current 2.0 interface uses a different workspace, account, or project entry.

How to Open Agent Manager in Antigravity IDE

Open a project first and wait until sign-in, model access, and workspace indexing finish. The Open Agent Manager control is normally visible in the upper application bar in the legacy desktop interface.

If the button is present but nothing opens, save your files, close blocking dialogs, and retry after the current agent response finishes. Avoid repeatedly clicking while a project is still loading because the surface can appear delayed on first launch.

A Safe Agent Manager Workflow

Treat Agent Manager as an orchestration surface, not as permission to let every task run unattended. Give each agent a bounded objective, review the proposed plan, and keep unrelated edits in separate tasks.

The screenshots below are real Antigravity IDE captures already used by this site. They show the editor, the Agent Manager entry, planning controls, and version context rather than an AI-generated mock interface.

Switch between editor and mission control

The project view keeps code, files, terminal access, and the Open Agent Manager entry in one desktop frame. Use the editor for precise manual changes and the manager for parallel task visibility.

Set planning behavior before execution

The assistance panel exposes planning and faster execution modes. Choose the safer planning path for broad or risky work, and reserve fast execution for small, reversible tasks.

Confirm the build before troubleshooting

The About dialog identifies the installed Antigravity version. This is the fastest way to explain why your interface does not match a tutorial, screenshot, or current 2.0 documentation.

Why Open Agent Manager May Be Missing

The most common reason is a version mismatch: you are reading a legacy IDE tutorial while using Antigravity 2.0, a newer build, or a differently provisioned account. A narrow window, unfinished onboarding, sign-in failure, disabled network access, or an update loop can also hide or delay the control.

Do not install an old build only to reproduce a screenshot. First confirm your product name and version, then use the current official documentation and the site update guide.

• Check Help or About and record the exact product and version.
• Finish Google sign-in and allow workspace initialization to complete.
• Maximize the desktop window and close onboarding or update dialogs.
• Open a normal local project instead of an empty welcome screen.
• If you use Antigravity 2.0, look for the current workspace or project agent controls rather than the legacy label.

Should You Keep the Legacy IDE or Move to 2.0?

Use the legacy IDE only when your existing installation and workflow still require its desktop editor and Agent Manager layout. For a new setup, follow the current Antigravity 2.0 product flow unless an official compatibility requirement says otherwise.

Before changing versions, commit or back up project files, note active tasks, and test one real repository. Do not assume agent history, permissions, extensions, terminal behavior, or model availability will transfer unchanged.
