100-word summary
Google just launched Antigravity 2.0, a standalone desktop app that lets you spin up multiple AI agents that work simultaneously on different tasks. The big shift: agents can now spawn their own subagents on the fly, handle tasks without waiting in line, and run on schedules you set once and forget. You could, for instance, have one agent coordinate three subagents scraping data, formatting reports, and emailing summaries every Monday morning while you're still asleep. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, with hooks for exporting work to Google's enterprise agent tools. Google's betting developers want to manage bots like projects, not code.
