Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)

A Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) is an AI agent development framework that can be used to create AI agent systems (that support AI agent tasks).

• AKA: Google ADK, Agent Development Kit.
• Context:
  • It can typically facilitate AI Agent Development through Python-based agent programming interfaces.
  • It can typically enable Multi-Agent System Creation with modular agent components and hierarchical agent structures.
  • It can typically support AI Model Integration with model-agnostic design approaches.
  • It can typically provide Agent Deployment Flexibility through deployment-agnostic architecture.
  • It can typically enhance Agent Testing Process via built-in debugging tools and UI playground environments.
  • ...
  • It can often implement Agent Workflow Orchestration through sequential agent, parallel agent, and loop agent patterns.
  • It can often leverage LLM-Driven Routing for adaptive agent behaviors.
  • It can often incorporate External Tool Integration via pre-built tools, custom functions, and third-party library connections.
  • It can often enable Real-Time Interaction Capability through bidirectional audio streaming and bidirectional video streaming.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Google Agent Development Kit to being a Complex Google Agent Development Kit, depending on its Google agent development kit implementation complexity.
  • It can range from being a Single-Agent Google Agent Development Kit to being a Multi-Agent Google Agent Development Kit, depending on its Google agent development kit agent architecture.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Vertex AI Agent Engine for enterprise-grade agent deployment.
  • It can connect to Google Cloud Run for containerized agent deployment.
  • It can support Google Gemini Model for optimized agent performance.
  • It can integrate with Model Context Protocol for standardized data connection between agents.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Google Agent Development Kit Agent Types, such as:
    • Google Agent Development Kit LLM Agents, such as:
      • Google Agent Development Kit Gemini Agent for natural language task processing.
      • Google Agent Development Kit Function-Calling Agent for tool-augmented task execution.
    • Google Agent Development Kit Workflow Agents, such as:
      • Google Agent Development Kit Sequential Agent for ordered task execution.
      • Google Agent Development Kit Parallel Agent for concurrent task processing.
      • Google Agent Development Kit Loop Agent for repetitive task automation.
    • Google Agent Development Kit Custom Agents, such as:
      • Google Agent Development Kit Specialized Domain Agent for industry-specific task handling.
      • Google Agent Development Kit Integration Agent for third-party system connection.
  • Google Agent Development Kit Implementations, such as:
    • Google Agent Development Kit Enterprise Implementation for large-scale business application.
    • Google Agent Development Kit Developer Implementation for individual application prototype.
    • Google Agent Development Kit Research Implementation for experimental AI agent testing.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • OpenAI Agents SDK, which focuses specifically on OpenAI model integration rather than model-agnostic design.
  • Traditional Software Development Kit, which lacks AI agent orchestration capability.
  • Manual Agent Programming Framework, which lacks built-in agent testing environment.
