Workflow Antigravity to Web or Mobile App
including Database and Payments (Frontend, Backend and Payments)
Since its release in late 2025, Google Antigravity has shifted the development workflow from "writing code" to "orchestrating agents." To get a full-stack app with a database and payments published, you should adopt an Agent-First Workflow.
Instead of manual coding, you act as the Architect, managing multiple agents in the Manager View to handle the heavy lifting.
1. The Core Setup (Web & Mobile)
Regardless of your platform, the easiest way to start is by using the Planning Mode in the Antigravity Manager View.
- Open Antigravity and create a new workspace.
- The Master Prompt: Use a high-level goal."Build a full-stack Next.js app for [Your Idea]. Use Tailwind CSS for UI, Prisma for database ORM, and Stripe for payments. Plan the architecture first."
- Review the Plan: Antigravity will generate a Task List artifact. Review it to ensure it includes the database schema and payment flow before clicking "Approve."
2. Database & Payments Integration
Antigravity makes these "scary" steps significantly easier through MCP (Model Context Protocol) and dedicated workflows.
The Database (The MCP Way)
- Workflow: Open the Antigravity MCP Store (Cmd + Shift + P > "Open MCP Store").
- Connection: Install the AlloyDB or Cloud SQL MCP server. This allows your agent to "see" your database schema, run migrations, and even write optimized SQL for you without you ever leaving the IDE.
- Easy Mode: If you want zero-config, tell the agent: "Use Prisma with a local SQLite database for development, then provide a script to migrate to Supabase for production."
Payments (The Stripe Workflow)
- Workflow: Antigravity has a built-in Stripe Checkout Integration workflow.
- Tasking: Command the agent: "Implement a Stripe Checkout session. Use the test keys from my .env file and create a webhook to handle successful payments."
- Verification: The agent will use its integrated browser to actually click through a test checkout, record the video, and show you the "Success" screen as proof.
3. Publishing as a Web App (Option 1)
This is the fastest "hit-to-live" path.
- Hosting: Use the One-Click Cloud Run deployment feature.
- Prompt: "Deploy this app to Google Cloud Run. Set up the CI/CD pipeline so it redeploys on every git push."
- Agent Action: The agent will Dockerize your app, set up the Google Cloud Project, and provide you with a live URL.
4. Publishing to the App Store (Option 2)
The easiest "Antigravity-native" way to get into the App Store is via Capacitor.
- The Wrapper: Tell the agent: "Convert this web app into a mobile app using Capacitor. Add the iOS and Android platforms."
- Native Features: Ask the agent to add a "Manifest.json" and "Service Worker" to make it a PWA (Progressive Web App) first, as this is the path of least resistance.
- App Store Assets: Use the Nano Banana model (integrated in Antigravity) to generate your app icons and splash screens.
- Submission: Prompt: "Generate the IPA and APK files for store submission and write a step-by-step checklist for the App Store Connect process."
Summary Table

| Database | Supabase or Cloud SQL | MCP Store (Database Servers) |
| Payments | Stripe Checkout | Integrated Browser (Auto-Testing) |
| Web Host | Google Cloud Run | One-Click Deploy Artifact |
| Mobile App | Capacitor Wrapper | Multi-Agent Parallel Tasks |
