Building complex, production-ready AI agents, especially multi-modal or multi-agent systems, can be challenging. Introducing the Agent Development Kit (ADK), a new open-source project from Google designed to simplify this process based on Google's internal experience. ADK provides a powerful, open foundation (model-agnostic, deployment-agnostic, interoperable) that makes agent development feel like software development, complete with native multi-modal streaming and easy local debugging via a built-in UI.
