Adk Python
The Agent Development Kit (ADK) is an open-source, code-first Python framework for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control. It applies software development principles to AI agent creation, simplifying the process of building, deploying, and orchestrating agent workflows. ADK is designed to be model-agnostic, deployment-agnostic, and compatible with other frameworks. It provides a range of features, including a workflow runtime, task API, modular multi-agent systems, and a rich tool ecosystem. ADK allows developers to define agent logic, tools, and orchestration directly in Python, providing ultimate flexibility, testability, and versioning. The framework also includes a built-in development UI to help test, evaluate, debug, and showcase agents. ADK can be deployed locally with Docker Container or in Google Cloud (Cloud Run), and it supports various environment variables for customization. The project is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License and welcomes contributions from the community.
