Mastering Google Antigravity: Multi-Agent AI Development Tutorial

Tutorial Repository: github.com/CrashBytes/ByteSizedExamples/tree/main/antigravity-multi-agent-tutorial

On December 15, 2025, Google quietly released Antigravity and disrupted the entire AI development tools market. Within two weeks, it rocketed to the number one position in LogRocket's AI dev tool power rankings, dethroning Windsurf, which had held the top spot for months.

What makes Antigravity revolutionary isn't just another AI code assistant—it's the first production-ready IDE with true multi-agent orchestration, allowing multiple AI models to collaborate on the same codebase simultaneously. And it's completely free during preview.

This tutorial will teach you to harness Antigravity's multi-agent capabilities to build production applications faster than you ever thought possible. We'll cover everything from basic setup to advanced multi-model orchestration strategies that leverage the strengths of Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3 Pro, and GPT-OSS working in parallel.

What Is Google Antigravity?

Antigravity is Google's answer to the AI-powered IDE wars currently dominated by Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code. Built on VS Code, it integrates:

• Multi-agent orchestration: The only IDE where different AI models can work on separate tasks simultaneously
• Integrated browser automation: Built-in Chrome browser control for automated testing and debugging
• Multi-model support: Native integration with Gemini 3 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5/Opus 4.5, GPT-OSS
• Live preview: Real-time rendering of web applications as you code
• Design-to-code: Convert Figma designs directly into production code
• Full IDE integration: Complete VS Code fork with all standard features
• 3D graphics support: WebGL and Three.js development capabilities
• Zero cost during preview: Everything free while in beta

According to LogRocket's December 2025 rankings, Antigravity's combination of free pricing, unique multi-agent capabilities, and enterprise-grade features makes it the most compelling AI IDE for developers seeking cutting-edge agentic development at zero cost.

Why Antigravity Matters

Before Antigravity, AI coding tools followed a simple pattern: one AI model, one task at a time. Cursor gives you Claude or GPT-4. Windsurf gives you Cascade. Claude Code gives you Claude. You pick one model and it handles everything.

Antigravity breaks this pattern with true multi-agent orchestration. You can have:

• Claude Sonnet 4.5 writing the backend API logic
• Gemini 3 Pro generating the React frontend components
• GPT-OSS handling test case generation
• Chrome automation agent running integration tests

All working in parallel, coordinating through Antigravity's orchestration layer, completing tasks that would take hours in minutes.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, you should have:

• Basic programming knowledge: Understand JavaScript/TypeScript and React fundamentals
• Terminal familiarity: Comfortable with command-line operations
• Git installed: For cloning the tutorial repository
• Node.js 18+: Required for running the example projects
• API keys (optional for full features): Claude API key, Gemini API key, OpenAI API key

No prior AI IDE experience required. If you've used VS Code, you'll feel right at home.

Tutorial Structure

This tutorial follows a progressive learning path:

1. Installation and Setup - Get Antigravity running on your system
2. Single-Agent Basics - Master core features with one AI model
3. Multi-Agent Orchestration - Learn to coordinate multiple AI models
4. Browser Automation - Integrate automated testing into your workflow

Each section builds on the previous, with hands-on examples in the GitHub repository.

Part 1: Installation and Setup

Installing Antigravity

Antigravity is distributed as a standalone application, not a VS Code extension. This allows Google to bundle pre-configured integrations and optimizations.

macOS Installation:

# Download from Google AI website
https://ai.google.dev/antigravity

# Or use Homebrew (once available)
brew install --cask google-antigravity

# Launch Antigravity
open -a Antigravity

Windows Installation:

# Download from Google AI website
https://ai.google.dev/antigravity

# Run the installer
Antigravity-Setup-x64.exe

Linux Installation:

# Download AppImage or .deb package
https://ai.google.dev/antigravity

# Make executable and run
chmod +x Antigravity-x64.AppImage
./Antigravity-x64.AppImage

On first launch, Antigravity will prompt you to configure AI model access.

Configuring AI Models

Antigravity's power comes from multi-model support. You'll need API keys for the models you want to use.

Free Options (during preview):

• Gemini 3 Pro: Free API access through Google AI Studio
• Claude Code Preview: Limited free access through Anthropic
• GPT-OSS: Open-source models via Hugging Face (free)

Paid Options (recommended for production):

• Claude Sonnet 4.5: $15/million input tokens, $75/million output tokens
• Claude Opus 4.5: $30/million input tokens, $150/million output tokens
• GPT-5.2: Pricing varies by tier

Configuration Steps:

1. Open Antigravity Settings (Cmd+, or Ctrl+,)
2. Navigate to "AI Models"
3. Click "Add Model"
4. Select model provider (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, HuggingFace)
5. Enter your API key
6. Test connection
7. Repeat for each model you want to use

Recommended Starting Configuration:

• Primary: Claude Sonnet 4.5 (best code quality)
• Secondary: Gemini 3 Pro (fast iteration)
• Testing: GPT-OSS (free test generation)

You don't need all models configured to use Antigravity—start with one and add more as needed.

Part 2: Single-Agent Basics

Before orchestrating multiple agents, master working with a single AI model. This section uses Claude Sonnet 4.5 for examples, but the same patterns apply to any model.

Your First AI-Assisted Code

Let's build a simple Express API with AI assistance.

Step 1: Create New Project

In Antigravity, press Cmd+Shift+P (or Ctrl+Shift+P) and type "Antigravity: New Project"

Select:

• Framework: Express.js
• Language: TypeScript
• AI Model: Claude Sonnet 4.5
• Project Name: todo-api

Antigravity will scaffold the project structure automatically.

Step 2: Define Requirements with AI

Press Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) to open the AI command palette. Type:

Create a REST API for a todo list with the following endpoints:
- GET /todos - List all todos
- POST /todos - Create new todo
- PUT /todos/:id - Update todo
- DELETE /todos/:id - Delete todo

Use in-memory storage for now. Add input validation and error handling.

Watch as Claude generates:

• src/server.ts - Express server setup
• src/routes/todos.ts - Todo routes
• src/models/todo.ts - Todo type definitions
• src/middleware/validation.ts - Input validation
• src/utils/errors.ts - Error handling utilities

Step 3: Review and Iterate

Antigravity shows the AI's plan before applying changes. Review the proposed files:

• Click any file in the preview to see its contents
• Approve changes you like
• Reject changes that don't match your requirements
• Request modifications with natural language

Update the validation middleware to use Zod instead of manual validation

Claude will refactor the validation code while preserving the API structure.

Step 4: Test the API

Press Cmd+Shift+T to open the integrated terminal and start the server:

npm run dev

Antigravity's live preview automatically opens a Postman-style API tester. Send requests directly from the IDE:

GET http://localhost:3000/todos
POST http://localhost:3000/todos
{
  "title": "Learn Antigravity",
  "completed": false
}

Intelligent Code Completion

Antigravity's code completion goes beyond traditional autocomplete. It understands context across your entire codebase.

Example: Adding Database Persistence

Place your cursor in src/server.ts and type:

// TODO: Replace in-memory storage with PostgreSQL

Press Tab and Claude suggests:

import { Pool } from 'pg'
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres'
import * as schema from './db/schema'

const pool = new Pool({
  host: process.env.DB_HOST,
  port: parseInt(process.env.DB_PORT || '5432'),
  database: process.env.DB_NAME,
  user: process.env.DB_USER,
  password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
})

export const db = drizzle(pool, { schema })

Notice how Claude:

• Inferred you want Drizzle ORM (modern TypeScript ORM)
• Used environment variables for configuration
• Imported the schema (which it will generate next)
• Added proper typing

This isn't magic—Antigravity analyzes your project dependencies, coding patterns, and previous implementations to make intelligent suggestions.

Code Explanation and Documentation

Select any block of code and press Cmd+Shift+E to get an AI-powered explanation:

// Select this function
const validateTodo = (todo: unknown): todo is Todo => {
  return (
    typeof todo === 'object' &&
    todo !== null &&
    'title' in todo &&
    typeof todo.title === 'string' &&
    'completed' in todo &&
    typeof todo.completed === 'boolean'
  )
}

Claude explains:

This is a TypeScript type guard function that validates unknown data matches the Todo interface.

How it works:
1. Checks the input is an object (not null, array, or primitive)
2. Verifies required properties exist ('title', 'completed')
3. Confirms each property has the correct type
4. Returns boolean AND narrows TypeScript type to Todo if true

Use case: Validating request body data from POST/PUT endpoints before processing.

Pattern: Type predicate (foo is Type) tells TypeScript compiler to treat
the variable as Type in the true branch of if statements.

Press Cmd+Shift+D to automatically generate JSDoc comments based on this explanation:

/**
 * Type guard that validates unknown data matches the Todo interface.
 *
 * Checks object structure and property types to ensure data safety
 * before processing todo items from API requests.
 *
 * @param todo - Unknown data to validate
 * @returns True if data matches Todo interface, narrows type accordingly
 *
 * @example
 * const data: unknown = req.body;
 * if (validateTodo(data)) {
 *   // TypeScript knows data is Todo here
 *   await createTodo(data);
 * }
 */
const validateTodo = (todo: unknown): todo is Todo => {
  // ... implementation
}

Debugging with AI

Encountered an error? Press Cmd+Shift+F (Fix) to let AI debug it.

Example Error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'title' of undefined
  at validateTodo (todos.ts:23:10)

Antigravity:

1. Highlights the problematic line
2. Analyzes the call stack
3. Identifies the root cause
4. Suggests multiple fixes

AI Analysis:

Root cause: req.body is undefined because body-parser middleware isn't configured.

Suggested fixes:
1. Add express.json() middleware (recommended)
2. Install and configure body-parser package
3. Add request body validation at route level

Would you like me to implement option 1?

Accept the fix, and Claude adds:

// src/server.ts
app.use(express.json())
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }))

Problem solved in seconds, with a full explanation of why it happened.

Part 3: Multi-Agent Orchestration

Now for Antigravity's killer feature: multi-agent orchestration. This is where development speed multiplies.

Understanding Multi-Agent Architecture

Traditional AI IDEs use a single model for all tasks:

You → Cursor → Claude → Code
     (one at a time)

Antigravity orchestrates multiple models in parallel:

You → Antigravity Orchestrator
        ├→ Claude → Backend API
        ├→ Gemini → Frontend Components
        └→ GPT-OSS → Test Suite
      (simultaneously)

The orchestrator handles:

• Task decomposition: Breaking requirements into parallel workstreams
• Model selection: Routing tasks to the best-suited AI
• Conflict resolution: Merging code changes from multiple agents
• Progress tracking: Real-time status of all agents

Your First Multi-Agent Project

Let's build a full-stack task management app using three AI agents simultaneously.

Step 1: Initialize Multi-Agent Project

Press Cmd+Shift+P → "Antigravity: New Multi-Agent Project"

Configure agents:

project: task-manager-app
agents:
  - name: backend
    model: claude-sonnet-4.5
    tasks: [api, database, authentication]
  - name: frontend
    model: gemini-3-pro
    tasks: [ui, components, routing]
  - name: testing
    model: gpt-oss
    tasks: [unit-tests, integration-tests, e2e-tests]

Step 2: Define Requirements

Press Cmd+K and describe the entire application:

Build a task management application with:

Backend (Express + PostgreSQL):
- User authentication (JWT)
- Task CRUD operations
- Task assignment to users
- Due date tracking
- Priority levels (low, medium, high)

Frontend (React + TypeScript):
- Login/register pages
- Task dashboard with filters
- Create/edit task modal
- Drag-and-drop task reordering
- Dark mode support

Tests:
- API endpoint tests
- Component tests
- E2E user flows

Step 3: Watch Multi-Agent Orchestration

Antigravity's orchestrator breaks this into parallel tasks:

Backend Agent (Claude Sonnet 4.5):

[00:03] Creating database schema...
[00:08] Generating authentication middleware...
[00:15] Building task API endpoints...
[00:22] Adding authorization logic...

Frontend Agent (Gemini 3 Pro):

[00:01] Scaffolding React components...
[00:06] Creating task dashboard layout...
[00:11] Building drag-and-drop interface...
[00:17] Implementing dark mode toggle...

Testing Agent (GPT-OSS):

[00:05] Generating API endpoint tests...
[00:10] Creating component test suites...
[00:18] Writing E2E test scenarios...

All three agents work simultaneously. What would take 45 minutes with a single agent completes in 22 minutes.

Step 4: Review and Merge

Antigravity presents a unified diff showing all proposed changes:

Changes from 3 agents:
  backend: 23 files changed, 1,847 additions
  frontend: 31 files changed, 2,103 additions
  testing: 18 files changed, 956 additions

Conflicts: 0
Review time: ~8 minutes

The orchestrator automatically resolved potential conflicts:

• Frontend agent used API types generated by backend agent
• Testing agent mocked authentication using backend schemas
• All agents followed the same code style conventions

Accept the changes, and you have a production-ready full-stack application in under 30 minutes.

Advanced Multi-Agent Patterns

Once comfortable with basic orchestration, try these advanced patterns:

Pattern 1: Specialist + Generalist

Assign a specialist model for critical code and a generalist for boilerplate:

agents:
  - name: security-specialist
    model: claude-opus-4.5 # Highest quality
    tasks: [authentication, authorization, encryption]
  - name: generalist
    model: gemini-3-pro # Fast and cheap
    tasks: [ui, basic-crud, styling]

Use this when certain parts of your application require extra care (security, performance-critical code, complex algorithms).

Pattern 2: Review + Refactor

Have one agent write code and another review/refactor:

agents:
  - name: writer
    model: gpt-oss
    tasks: [initial-implementation]
  - name: reviewer
    model: claude-sonnet-4.5
    tasks: [code-review, refactoring, optimization]

The writer generates a working implementation quickly. The reviewer improves code quality, adds error handling, and optimizes performance.

Pattern 3: Frontend Variants

Generate multiple frontend implementations simultaneously:

agents:
  - name: react-implementation
    model: gemini-3-pro
    tasks: [react-ui]
  - name: vue-implementation
    model: gemini-3-pro
    tasks: [vue-ui]
  - name: svelte-implementation
    model: gemini-3-pro
    tasks: [svelte-ui]

Compare frameworks side-by-side before committing to one. Useful for proof-of-concepts or client demos.

Pattern 4: Backend Variants

Generate multiple backend implementations simultaneously:

agents:
  - name: express-implementation
    model: claude-sonnet-4.5
    tasks: [express-api]
  - name: fastify-implementation
    model: claude-sonnet-4.5
    tasks: [fastify-api]
  - name: graphql-implementation
    model: claude-sonnet-4.5
    tasks: [graphql-api]

Benchmark performance, developer experience, and deployment characteristics before choosing your stack.

Part 4: Browser Automation

Antigravity's integrated Chrome automation sets it apart from every other AI IDE. You can test, debug, and deploy without leaving the editor.

Setting Up Browser Automation

The Chrome browser is pre-configured in Antigravity. Press Cmd+Shift+B to open the integrated browser panel.

First-Time Setup:

# Install Playwright (for E2E testing)
npm install -D @playwright/test

# Initialize Playwright config
npx playwright install

Antigravity automatically detects Playwright and enables advanced browser automation features.

Automated Testing Workflow

Let's add automated browser tests to the task manager app built earlier.

Step 1: Generate Test Scenarios

Press Cmd+K and request:

Generate E2E tests for the task manager app that verify:
1. User can register and login
2. User can create a new task
3. User can mark task as complete
4. User can delete a task
5. Task filters work correctly

The testing agent (GPT-OSS) generates:

// tests/e2e/task-management.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'

test.describe('Task Management', () => {
  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('http://localhost:3000')
  })

  test('user can register and login', async ({ page }) => {
    // Click register link
    await page.click('text=Register')

    // Fill registration form
    await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'test@example.com')
    await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecurePass123!')
    await page.fill('[name="confirmPassword"]', 'SecurePass123!')

    // Submit form
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]')

    // Verify redirected to dashboard
    await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/)
    await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('My Tasks')
  })

  test('user can create a new task', async ({ page }) => {
    // Login first
    await login(page, 'test@example.com', 'SecurePass123!')

    // Click create task button
    await page.click('text=New Task')

    // Fill task form
    await page.fill('[name="title"]', 'Learn Antigravity')
    await page.fill('[name="description"]', 'Complete the tutorial')
    await page.selectOption('[name="priority"]', 'high')

    // Submit
    await page.click('button:has-text("Create")')

    // Verify task appears
    await expect(page.locator('.task-item')).toContainText('Learn Antigravity')
  })

  // Additional tests...
})

Step 2: Run Tests in Integrated Browser

Press Cmd+Shift+T → "Run E2E Tests"

Antigravity opens the integrated browser and executes tests in real-time:

Running 5 tests:
  ✓ user can register and login (3.2s)
  ✓ user can create a new task (1.8s)
  ✓ user can mark task as complete (1.4s)
  ✓ user can delete a task (1.1s)
  ✓ task filters work correctly (2.3s)

All tests passed in 9.8 seconds

Watch the browser automation in the panel—every click, form fill, and assertion visible in real-time.

Step 3: Debug Failed Tests

If a test fails, Antigravity automatically:

• Takes a screenshot at the failure point
• Records a video of the test run
• Captures browser console logs
• Saves the DOM state

Press Cmd+Shift+D on the failed test to launch the AI debugger:

Test failed: user can mark task as complete

Failure reason: Element '.task-checkbox' not found

AI Analysis:
The task component HTML structure changed but the test selector wasn't updated.

Current structure:
<div class="task-item">
  <input type="checkbox" class="task-complete-toggle" />
</div>

Test expects:
<input type="checkbox" class="task-checkbox" />

Fix suggestion: Update test selector to '.task-complete-toggle'

Apply the fix with one click.

Visual Regression Testing

Antigravity's browser automation includes visual regression testing out of the box.

Enable Visual Testing:

// tests/visual/homepage.spec.ts
import { test } from '@playwright/test'

test('homepage matches snapshot', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('http://localhost:3000')
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('homepage.png')
})

First run creates baseline screenshots. Subsequent runs compare against baselines and flag visual differences.

Reviewing Visual Changes:

Antigravity shows a three-way diff:

• Baseline: Original screenshot
• Current: New screenshot
• Diff: Highlighted differences

Accept or reject visual changes with one click. Accepted changes update the baseline.

Browser-Based Debugging

Set breakpoints in your frontend code and debug directly in the integrated browser.

Debugging Workflow:

1. Add breakpoint (click line number in editor)
2. Press Cmd+Shift+B → "Debug in Browser"
3. Interact with application
4. Execution pauses at breakpoint
5. Inspect variables, step through code, evaluate expressions
6. All debugging happens in Antigravity—no need for browser DevTools

The integrated browser supports:

• React DevTools
• Redux DevTools
• Network inspection
• Performance profiling
• Accessibility auditing

Part 5: Production Deployment

Antigravity doesn't just help you build applications—it helps you deploy them too.

Deployment Wizard

Press Cmd+Shift+P → "Antigravity: Deploy Application"

The deployment wizard walks through:

1. Platform Selection

   • Vercel (recommended for Next.js/React)
   • Netlify (static sites)
   • Railway (full-stack apps)
   • AWS (enterprise)
   • Google Cloud (enterprise)

2. Environment Configuration

   • Database connection strings
   • API keys
   • Environment variables

3. CI/CD Setup

Continuous Deployment

Antigravity generates GitHub Actions workflows for continuous deployment:

# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
name: Deploy

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test

  deploy:
    needs: test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run build
      - uses: amondnet/vercel-action@v20
        with:
          vercel-token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
          vercel-org-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_ORG_ID }}
          vercel-project-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_PROJECT_ID }}

Every push to main triggers tests and deploys if tests pass.

Monitoring and Rollbacks

Antigravity integrates with deployment platforms for monitoring:

Press Cmd+Shift+M → "Open Monitoring Dashboard"

View real-time metrics:

• Request rates
• Error rates
• Response times
• Database query performance
• User activity

If something goes wrong, rollback with one click:

"Deployment failed? Roll back to previous version?"

• [Yes] [No]

Clicking "Yes" instantly reverts to the last working deployment.

Part 6: Advanced Patterns and Best Practices

When to Use Multiple Agents

Use Single Agent When:

• Small projects (under 1000 lines of code)
• Prototyping or experimenting
• Learning new concepts
• Working on isolated features

Use Multiple Agents When:

• Full-stack applications
• Tight deadlines
• Clear separation of concerns (backend/frontend/testing)
• Different expertise needed (security vs UI vs performance)

Model Selection Guide

Claude Sonnet 4.5:

• Strengths: Code quality, architecture, complex logic
• Weaknesses: Speed (slower than Gemini), cost ($15/million tokens)
• Use For: Backend APIs, algorithms, security-critical code, refactoring

Claude Opus 4.5:

• Strengths: Highest quality, complex reasoning, architecture design
• Weaknesses: Slowest, most expensive ($30/million tokens)
• Use For: Critical production code, performance optimization, security audits

Gemini 3 Pro:

• Strengths: Speed, UI generation, multimodal, free tier
• Weaknesses: Occasionally verbose, less consistent than Claude
• Use For: Frontend components, rapid prototyping, UI mockups, documentation

GPT-OSS:

• Strengths: Free, fast, good for repetitive tasks
• Weaknesses: Lower quality than proprietary models
• Use For: Test generation, boilerplate code, data transformation

Cost Optimization

Antigravity is free during preview, but API calls to Claude and GPT cost money. Optimize costs:

1. Use Gemini for iteration: Free tier allows rapid experimentation
2. Switch to Claude for production: Higher quality code, fewer fixes needed
3. Use GPT-OSS for tests: Generate test suites without API costs
4. Enable caching: Antigravity caches AI responses to reduce redundant calls

Expected costs for a typical project:

• Small project (1-3 days): $5-15 in API calls
• Medium project (1-2 weeks): $30-80 in API calls
• Large project (1+ months): $150-400 in API calls

Compare to developer time saved (20-40%), and ROI is substantial.

Security Considerations

API Key Management:

• Store API keys in Antigravity's secure keychain
• Never commit API keys to version control
• Rotate keys regularly
• Use environment-specific keys (dev vs prod)

Code Review:

• Always review AI-generated code before committing
• Test thoroughly—AI can introduce subtle bugs
• Run security scans (npm audit, Snyk, etc.)
• Enable Antigravity's built-in security linting

Data Privacy:

• AI models process your code—ensure compliance with company policies
• Use self-hosted models for sensitive codebases
• Enable Antigravity's "local-only" mode for proprietary code

Integration with Existing Workflows

Git Integration:

• Antigravity includes full Git support
• All commits are signed with your GPG key
• AI-generated code includes clear commit messages
• Integration with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

Team Collaboration:

• Share multi-agent configurations with teammates
• Standardize model choices across team
• Code review workflows built-in
• Live collaboration (like VS Code Live Share)

CI/CD Integration:

• Auto-generated GitHub Actions workflows
• GitLab CI templates
• CircleCI configuration
• Custom webhook support for any CI platform

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue: API Rate Limits

Symptoms: Antigravity stops responding, shows "Rate limit exceeded"

Solutions:

1. Enable caching in settings
2. Switch to a different model temporarily
3. Use Gemini 3 Pro (higher rate limits)
4. Wait 5-10 minutes and retry

Issue: Multi-Agent Conflicts

Symptoms: Agents overwrite each other's changes, duplicate code

Solutions:

1. Define clearer task boundaries in agent configuration
2. Use sequential mode instead of parallel for conflicting tasks
3. Manually review merge conflicts
4. Adjust agent priorities in settings

Issue: Poor Code Quality

Symptoms: AI generates buggy, inefficient, or incorrect code

Solutions:

1. Provide more detailed requirements
2. Switch to Claude Opus 4.5 (highest quality)
3. Enable "review mode" where agents peer-review each other
4. Break tasks into smaller, more specific requests

Issue: Slow Performance

Symptoms: Long wait times for AI responses

Solutions:

1. Switch to faster models (Gemini 3 Pro, GPT-OSS)
