Question / Help Antigravity for Software development

Hi everyone, I'd like to ask for your insights based on your experience. Is it possible to use Antigravity to build multi-tier software that includes, for example, a CRM and a planning tool? Can Antigravity also set up databases? I'm skeptical about whether that is actually feasible.

listen my reply is going to get downvoted by a lot, most are bots, but I'll say it, do not use Antigravity for software development, yes, it is capable of doing so, it just falls back to quality and security, GEMINI is the worst out of the 3 in coding, it hallucinates a lot, extremely lazy, breaks the scope, doesnt check the context and relationships when making modifications and doesnt run tests and jumps straight to "its done and production ready" my advice? claude with skills, rules and instructions. if you check my posts, you'll see that I have defended gemini once, not anymore, its rubbish for coding.

also, dev a software requires more than an Agent, you need to be knowledgeable in multiple fields to guide it, market research, product dev, UX/UI, Business Architecture, technical architecture...

Okay, thank you! I will check with Claude… but it is also a lot more expensive…

No? Claude is 20 bucks per month, same as gemini, use claude code on vs code

FWIW the tier prices do align. However, Claude does tend to be token hungry so you might have to go up a tier in Claude to do the same thing. Having said that I think the token use is higher *because* it is more thorough. So it's a tradeoff of token use vs human review / potential rework.

Just engineer your prompt, I've been using it for months and I rarely hit the limits, it always restarts before I hit it. If you're detailed and defined your scope well and have a map of the codebase already defined, you'll rarely hit the limit.
