Antigravity is about to get a new tab for “Running” background tasks in settings. Following an announcement of Jules shutdown, advanced scheduled runs are expected to arrive there too.
Google killed Jules AI agent 💀 Its planned functionalities are about to arrive to Antigravity instead. > “We’re working on bringing our learnings from Jules into Antigravity so you get the best of both worlds: autonomous remote background task execution and an agent-first development environment.” Antigravity already has some traces of a new “Chief of Staff” agent spotted earlier. I feel like it was unfortunate that Jules v2 got planned at a moment when AI super apps emerged and Google had to fight back with Codex. Monitoring 👀

👨‍🎨 Bring Stitch Design to your coding agent with the new Stitch CLI! high quality rapid design you can co-edit in the canvas. and….. there’s a little self improvement looper in there too for the curious… Send feedback!
We have a Stitch MCP. We have a Stitch SDK. But, we don't have a Stitch CLI. Well, not until now. Introducing the @google/stitch CLI: 🔷 Connect to your local coding agents 🔷 Generate screens and design systems 🔷 Send a local dev server snapshot to Stitch Do it all without leaving the terminal or better yet, ask your favorite harness like @antigravity 😎 Learn more 👇

npm i -g @​google/stitch Going to from idea, to design, to working thing is faster than ever. I've been working on this for quite some time. I poured countless hours into designing this CLI so a coding agent to drive nearly anything in your Stitch Canvas. Stay tuned for a demo video.

CC the entire fam 🤝! Today, we’re announcing the new CC – an AI agent built for families to spend less time on logistics and more time together. You can now: 👤 Add up to 5 members to your CC agent ☀️ Start mornings aligned with a shared "Your Day Ahead" brief email 🗓️ Autosync schedules & to-dos with a shared Google Calendar and Tasks 💬 Coordinate in Google Chat with CC to offload relevant tasks (ie., crafting weekly meal plans, school supply shopping lists, etc) 📝 Delegate paperwork (ie., permission slips, forms, and more) for CC to complete under your direction 📌 Keep tabs on the details – CC remembers what applies to everyone (ie., family grocery lists, favorite restaurants) versus what applies to one person (ie., dietary restrictions, local timezones) Ready to keep everybody on the same page? Join the waitlist or upgrade your existing CC (US only, 18+): labs.google/cc

This one got to me Perhaps because he’s not an anon, but the favorite to win statewide office in Texas. Perhaps it’s because the kids in the picture could have been me 25 years ago. I just donated to his opponent and hope you’ll join me secure.actblue.com/donate/ro…
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

Help us write the future of how software is designed, built, and delivered. Google Labs is looking for a product designer with a passion for crafting tools for fellow builders. Direct experience with development and/or developer tooling is appreciated.

A question I get more frequently these days: "I'm a dev bootstrapping a product that does X. It's done, I've built it, but I don't have many users (and no customers.) Can you give feedback?" I get more emails like this. Building has become so, so much easier! Finding PMF: not.
In @GoogleAIStudio we are now making more than 1,200,000 apps a week (and growing) with more than 18,000,000 created since late February 🤯 The progress continues!!!

You can vibe design some incredible interfaces with @stitchbygoogle
Introducing the new @stitchbygoogle, Google’s vibe design platform that transforms natural language into high-fidelity designs in one seamless flow. 🎨Create with a smarter design agent: Describe a new business concept or app vision and see it take shape on an AI-native canvas. ⚡️ Iterate quickly: Stitch screens together into interactive prototypes and manage your brand with a portable design system. 🎤 Collaborate with voice: Use hands-free voice interactions to update layouts and explore new variations in real-time. Try it now (Age 18+ only. Currently available in English and in countries where Gemini is supported.) → stitch.withgoogle.com

Here is a quick walkthrough of everything new in Stitch: 🎨 The AI-native canvas can hold and reason across images, code, and text simultaneously. The new agent manager helps you design in parallel. (PS … light mode!) 🧠 A smarter design agent now understands your entire canvas context. You can swap images, generate product briefs, or mix mobile and desktop screens on the same canvas. 🎙️ You can vibe design with your voice (in Preview). Stitch can ‘see’ your canvas and your selected screens. You can ask for design critiques, variations, or navigate your canvas. ⚡️ Instant prototypes. Just hit the play button to see a prototype or preview your app in seconds. Stitch can imagine the next screen based on your mouse click. 📐 DESIGN.md and consistency. Every new design automatically starts with a cohesive design system which vastly improves consistency. The new DESIGN.md file can be used to export or import your design rules. Walkthrough video👇 Details for each major improvement 🧵

Introducing the Stitch SDK Yes. You can program design now. I've been dreaming of shipping this for so long because it's just so much fun to use. I welcome all the stars ⭐️ github.com/google-labs-code/…

Three teams had 8 hours (with a lunch break) to go heads down and build with Jules and Stitch. We teamed up with @codetv_dev for the latest WebDev Challenge. Episode link below.

A simple formula to keep agents busy. > Outcome = Event + Agent Action If you are typing into a prompt box to get all your work done, you are the event, and you are the bottleneck. Automate. Make the work event driven: cron, web hooks, whatever. When the event triggers, the agent does the work and produces the outcome (a PR, a deployment). Iterate. What do you do if the outcome is poor quality? Just like the old days, it's not expected to work the first time. Tweak the plan. Create diagnostic tools, plan verification steps, and add to tests. Isolate the problem in the automation, fix it, and run it again. btw... Jules is pretty darn good at keeping busy. With Jules the formula looks like: > PR = REST API Post + Jules Agent But no matter your agent, keep the loop going.

Keeping your agents busy is a real challenge in today's AI world. Last December we shipped Scheduled tasks for Jules along with prompt suggestions that turn Jules into things like a designer, a performance checker, and a security engineer. Run these checks on a consistent schedule to keep your agents busy.

We're hiring a senior PM - does this sound like you? Here in @GoogleLabs we're leaning hard into a "continuous AI" future - a fluid cycle of ideating, building, monitoring, and iterating. One of my teams focuses on AI coding, and we're making this future real! We're looking for a senior PM who is excited about enabling a next generation of builders, has technical experience themselves, and is ready to build in an AI-native way. Pls share with folks you think would be great! google.com/about/careers/app…
