Agent 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 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.

✨ 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
