ADK is an open-source framework for building AI agents, with support for both Python and Java. [1, 2] It offers a code-first approach, providing developers with the tools to create modular and scalable multi-agent systems. [3] The framework is designed to be deployment-agnostic, allowing agents to be deployed in various environments. [3]

Key features of ADK include:

• Rich Tool Ecosystem: ADK provides a variety of tools to enhance agent capabilities.
• Code-First Development: Build agents using familiar coding practices. [3]
• Modular Multi-Agent Systems: Create complex systems with multiple agents that can collaborate. [3]
• Tracing and Monitoring: Tools for observing and debugging agent behavior.

ADK is built on a set of core abstractions, including:

• Agent: The fundamental building block for creating AI agents. [3]
• Tool: Enables agents to interact with external systems and data sources. [3]
• Runner: Manages the execution of agents. [3]
• Session: Represents a single interaction with an agent. [3]
• Memory: Provides agents with short-term and long-term memory. [3]
• Artifact Service: Manages the data and files used by agents. [3]

For more information, you can refer to the official documentation. [4]
