Antigravity
Google's agent app for Gemini models. Adding Producer Pal means editing a JSON config file — one extra step, but everything else is the same.

- Cost: Free; a Google AI subscription raises the rate limits
- Best for: Gemini users who want a desktop app instead of the CLI

Bionic (Advanced)
LM Studio's agent app for open models, running entirely on your machine.
