Orbit Reference

Orbit is a local-first desktop workspace that brings together AI-assisted development, agents, creative generation, and visual workflows.

Unlike conventional chat interfaces that discard context or concatenate noisy terminal logs, Orbit persists native provider session IDs, captures discovered project artifacts, and maintains clean project isolation.

Orbit communicates directly with the installed Google Antigravity CLI (agy). You do not need to provide API keys, Python runtimes, or copied session tokens to Orbit.

• CLI Discovery: Orbit searches your system PATH for the agy binary, with an automatic fallback to ~/.local/bin/agy on Unix platforms.
• Path Override: Set the ORBIT_AGY_PATH environment variable if your Antigravity binary is installed in a non-standard location.
• Authentication: Orbit requires that you sign in to Antigravity beforehand using its official Google CLI or web sign-in command. Orbit never touches your credentials.

Orbit organizes work hierarchically into Projects. Each project contains:

• Conversations: Dedicated multi-turn sessions. Each conversation persists its native Antigravity session ID for accurate turn continuity.
• Project Assets: Files and attachments explicitly imported into the project scope.
• Discovered Artifacts: Files created or edited by agents during runs, cataloged in local SQLite storage.

When an agent writes or modifies a file within your workspace, Orbit registers the output as a project artifact. The artifact panel provides immediate previews:

Orbit is included as part of AgentDock Pro. There is no separate license fee or subscription needed for Orbit.

Subscriber accounts managed at agdc.dev receive access to Orbit desktop preview builds, multi-agent AIgency workflows, and priority support.
