Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Java

Google’s Agent Development Kit for Java is an open-source toolkit that helps developers design, evaluate, and deploy advanced AI agents using the Java programming language. The framework follows a code-first approach that treats agent development as a structured software engineering task rather than a collection of prompt scripts. It provides abstractions and tools that allow developers to create agents capable of executing complex workflows, calling tools, and interacting with external services. ADK is designed to be flexible and modular so that developers can build simple automation agents or large distributed agent systems depending on their needs. While it integrates well with Google’s AI ecosystem, the framework is designed to remain model-agnostic and compatible with different machine learning platforms.
