Kingy AI Take

Google launched Managed Agents in the Gemini API, letting developers run Antigravity or custom agents in secure Google-hosted Linux sandboxes using markdown-defined instructions and skills (blog.google). Developers and AI Platform Teams get agent runtime as an API primitive — managed sandboxes and stateful sessions instead of self-built orchestration. It shipped as a public preview, so sandbox limits, pricing, and enterprise governance need close evaluation before a production dependency.

Who it is for

Teams that want managed agent runtime, sandboxing, stateful sessions, code execution, web access, and Google-hosted infrastructure without building orchestration from scratch.
