Google Antigravity release notes: run automations on demand

An automation here is an agent task that can run on a schedule or on demand. You no longer need to wait for its next scheduled run to start it.

Human step: Use Run Now in Automations to start an existing scheduled automation. Select Create with Prompt if you want the agent to guide you through creating a new one.

Google says new versions roll out gradually and may take a few days to reach all users.

Source for features and availability: Google Antigravity 2.21.1.

Short example: use the new Antigravity feature

After selecting Create with Prompt, describe the task to the agent:

Help me create an automation that summarizes this week's project changes every Friday. Ask which folder, time, and time zone to use. The summary should link to changed files and separate completed work from open questions.

Check the proposal before using it:

• The folder, weekday, time, and time zone are explicit.
• The task describes which changes to summarize and how to cite its sources.

This example is a suggested task, not a ready-made Google template. The release notes document the setup assistance, but do not prescribe a report format.
