Introduced the Agent Development Kit (ADK) as an open-source framework for building AI agents and multi-agent systems. ADK offers capabilities across the entire agent development lifecycle, including multi-agent design, a rich model and tool ecosystem, built-in streaming, flexible orchestration, integrated developer experience, built-in evaluation, and easy deployment. It provides Pythonic simplicity for defining agent logic, tools, and information processing, with examples for basic agents and more complex multi-agent systems involving delegation. The post also compares ADK with the Genkit framework, highlighting ADK's optimization for complex agents and multi-agent systems.
