From the README
An open-source, code-first 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.
You can use Agent Development Kit (ADK) with your preferred package manager for Python or build tool for Java.
