The Agent Development Kit is an open-source toolkit designed to simplify the creation of artificial intelligence agents. It also offers a catalog of ready-to-use agents on its cloud computing platform.
With this initiative, Google promises that developers will be able to build an AI agent in under 100 lines of code, orchestrate agent systems, and set custom safety boundaries for each one.
ADK is managed through Vertex AI Model Garden — which includes the Gemini models — but it’s also compatible with a broad ecosystem of models via LiteLLM. This allows developers to easily access models from Anthropic, Meta, Mistral AI, AI21 Labs, and others, without needing to modify their core logic.
The kit supports the use of pre-built tools, external libraries like LangChain or LlamaIndex, and even agents that act as tools within graph-based orchestration systems like LangGraph and CrewAI.
