Google Managed Agents: spin up a remote Gemini agent sandbox in a single API call
_philschmid · x · 2026-09-03
Phil Schmid shows the easiest way to try Gemini 3.8 Flash in an agentic environment: Managed Agents, which provisions a dedicated remote sandbox in a single API call.
- One call to the Interactions API (agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026", environment="remote") boots a Linux sandbox, runs the agent loop, and returns the result
- Ships with Python, Node.js, Git and Bash; full network access; Google Search, Function Calling and MCP support
- Filesystem persistence, background tasks and Cron triggers included
- Available on the free tier in Google AI Studio; docs cover multi-turn conversations, streaming and file downloads
A quick path to agentic prototypes without managing your own infrastructure.
