The Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a new framework designed to simplify the creation of AI agents by applying software engineering principles. It comprises six core components: the agent (decision-maker), runner (orchestrator), session (short-term memory), state (shared data), memory (long-term knowledge), and tools (action capabilities). ADK allows for custom tool development and integration with existing services via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and it is model-agnostic, supporting various AI models like those from OpenAI and Anthropic. The framework also facilitates complex task automation through multi-agent workflows, including sequential, parallel, and loop patterns. AI
