Google adds cron-scheduled runs with persistent workspaces to Gemini API's Antigravity agent
Overview
Google's Gemini API now lets the Antigravity agent run on a cron schedule with a persistent /workspace, according to Paige Bailey's post on X. Bailey says a schedule such as 0 9 * * * lets the agent wake each morning, check its existing repo and files, browse the web, run code, and resume where it left off instead of starting over.
Bailey gives automated PR triage and daily data pipelines as example uses, run through the Interactions API. The Gemini API provides Antigravity as a managed service, and a trigger added to an agent sets its schedule. The post is the only report so far, and it has no pricing or availability details.

The agent can check its repo, browse the web, and run code, with use cases including automated PR triage and daily data pipelines through the Interactions API. The post builds on a Gemini API offering that runs the Antigravity agent in a managed Linux sandbox triggered on a schedule.
