Google just unleashed 12 new AI coding tools, and it's kind of insane.

I made a full breakdown video, but here's the quick hit list of what's actually useful:

---

THE BIG ONES (Worth Your Time):

Antigravity - The "Cursor-killer" agentic IDE that builds full apps from text prompts

→ Most hyped, might actually live up to it

Google AI Studio - Prototype MVPs and spin up AI apps in seconds

→ Think Lovable but from Google

Jules - Autonomous agent that connects to GitHub, builds features, fixes bugs

→ This one's legit scary good

Gemini Code Assist - AI pair programmer for VS Code, Cursor, and other IDEs

→ Direct Claude Code competitor

Gemini CLI - Terminal pilot for commands, tests, and source control

→ Like Claude Code but in your terminal

---

THE USEFUL ONES (Specific Use Cases):

Stitch - Turns UI wireframes into clean frontend code

→ Great for designers who can't code

Opal - Build no-code AI workflows with simple language

→ For non-technical founders

Codewiki - Self-updating GitHub wiki that explains your entire codebase

→ Game-changer for onboarding new devs

Data Science Agent - Automates data cleaning, analysis, and charting

→ If you work with data, check this out

THE INFRASTRUCTURE ONES:

Firebase Studio - Visual AI cockpit for managing backend

Google Colab - Cloud Jupyter notebooks (not new but upgraded)

Gemini Canvas - Shared visual workspace for coding with teams

---

MY HONEST TAKE:

Google is flooding the market with tools. Some will be amazing, some will disappear in 6 months. The ones worth watching:

1. Antigravity (if it actually works as advertised)

2. Jules (autonomous coding is the future)

3. Gemini Code Assist (competing with Claude Code)

I'm testing these over the next month and will share what's hype vs what's real.

Questions:

Which one are you most excited to try? Anyone already testing these?

Let me know what you find 🚀
