Kristopher OverholtAgent Development Kit (ADK)
An open-source, code-first Python toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control.
Agent Development Kit (ADK) is designed for developers seeking fine-grained control and flexibility when building advanced AI agents that are tightly integrated with services in Google Cloud. It allows you to define agent behavior, orchestration, and tool use directly in code, enabling robust debugging, versioning, and deployment anywhere – from your laptop to the cloud.
✨ Key Features
-
Rich Tool Ecosystem: Utilize pre-built tools, custom functions, OpenAPI specs, or integrate existing tools to give agents diverse capabilities, all for tight integration with the Google ecosystem.
-
Code-First Development: Define agent logic, tools, and orchestration directly in Python for ultimate flexibility, testability, and versioning.
-
Modular Multi-Agent Systems: Design scalable applications by composing multiple specialized agents into flexible hierarchies.
-
Deploy Anywhere: Easily containerize and deploy agents on Cloud Run or scale seamlessly with Vertex AI Agent Engine.
🚀 Installation
You can install ADK using pip:
pip install google-adk
