Why Google Antigravity's Voice Input Changed My Vibe Coding Game

Voice Input in Antigravity

For the last six months I’ve been deep into vibe coding: about once a month I sit down and spend several days grinding on some genius idea. Nothing solid has come out of it yet. Right now I’m working on a voice recognition tool so I can easily dictate messages whenever I want.

I realized I don’t like Cursor. I used it for quite a while, I had a paid subscription. Then I switched to OpenAI Codex and played around with it for a long time. I installed the plugin and canceled my Cursor subscription because I bought an OpenAI one…

And now that Google Antigravity is out, it’s an absolute beast. The default limits are super generous. Gemini Flash works great, and it’s the cheapest and fastest model. Plus, it has built-in voice recognition, so you can dictate tasks to the agent right in the editor.

This is a straight-up killer feature because for some reason Cursor doesn’t have it. Without a voice recorder it becomes a huge barrier. I used to constantly stress about what to write to the agent… I tried writing in English, switched to Russian, and now in Antigravity I just hit the voice button.

I just dump all the chaos from my head — and that’s enough: it understands everything perfectly. Nothing else needed. I can do other things on the fly, drink tea, play guitar at the same time. That’s the huge value of Antigravity — highly recommend trying it.

Right now I’m making a voice recognition app — analogous to WhisperFlow or MacWhisper. There are Mac apps that can transcribe voice to text. And now I’m making a free alternative, want to open-source it.

I don’t know if something like this already exists — I didn’t find anything in a quick search. When I was looking for a voice-to-file transcription tool, I got so fed up that I had to vibe-code my own on Lovable. Anyway, I’m working on it. Will share soon.
