Who your user is sets your UX flexibility
From Tulsee Doshi with Lenny
What was said about Antigravity
Antigravity assumes expert users, so its UX can demand more of them. Google built Antigravity for power users who use slash commands and work across both terminal and IDE, so it can assume more expertise than a mass product.
Tulsee Doshi, Head of Product for Gemini, contrasts it with AI Mode, which must stay accessible to billions of search users: "depending on who your user is you have a certain level of flexibility with how you think about the UX." Lenny notes the growing clutter of tabs and dots in Codex and Claude Code, driven by the urgency to ship frontier power fast.
