## What is Agent Development Kit?
|
||
|
||
Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a flexible and modular framework for **developing
|
||
and deploying AI agents**. While optimized for Gemini and the Google ecosystem,
|
||
ADK is **model-agnostic**, **deployment-agnostic**, and is built for
|
||
**compatibility with other frameworks**. ADK was designed to make agent
|
||
development feel more like software development, to make it easier for
|
||
developers to create, deploy, and orchestrate agentic architectures that range
|
||
from simple tasks to complex workflows.
