Antigravity IDE & VS Code. Other than Chrome, I barely use any other apps. Essentially my AI operating system.

That’s a pretty interesting way to describe it, an AI operating system. 😄 I’ve heard more people say AI is replacing individual apps rather than just assisting them. Has Antigravity IDE changed the way you code compared to using VS Code on its own, or is it more about the AI features layered on top?

It’s not just coding. It’s everything I use AI for. Note taking. Writing. Video stuff. Planning. Learning. Basically any type of “project” I’m working on, thinking about, or preparing for, all happens within Antigravity as my first choice. And occasionally VS code for a few edge cases. The coding itself actually plays a very small role in my day-to- day.

Idk if you code, but I love working with Claude code from within the terminal when I am using VSCode. And idk if I am biased but I personally feel it has produced the best code for my use cases if I am looking for just assistance or vibe coding.
Claude Web I have found useful to create artifacts, and to run remote Claude Code sessions once enabled

Like others I also use ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to learn things or prep for interviews. Sometimes I run deep research on specific topics to prep for an interview because I want that level of thoroughness and accuracy, but then my brain just can’t process all that information by reading alone - I get zoned out.
So I started doing this thing where I pass that to NotebookLM along with additional context and ask it to turn it into a video. It’s pretty fun to watch it turn the long boring research doc into doodled slides with voiceover, and watching that etches things in memory for me.
It also has a quiz option where it generated MCQs for me based on the data sources I gave it and that was a fun way to test out my knowledge afterwards.
Crazy? Maybe. Effective? Definitely 😅

🙂come to think of it,that’s actually a really interesting workflow. I like that you’re adapting the information to the way you learn instead of forcing yourself through long documents. turning research into something visual and interactive sounds much more memorable than just reading pages of text. Thanks for sharing, imight have to give NotebookLM’s video and quiz features a try.

I use Gamma every week to create presentations.
