Thanks for posting. I am in the midst of evaluating some combination of n8n, open ai swarms, and others. This is a great addition

I have not test-driven adk-go. But if you - like me - have not toyed around with agents until now, there is a readable, nice example in [1] which explains itself.

I was surprised a native typescript style agent wasn't a core initial offering.

A reminder that, while this is pretty neat and also probably offers a lot of convenient tooling for GCloud resources already built, an "agent" is simply an LLM call in a loop, each call presenting some number of available tools. If you're building your first agent, I'd recommend coding to an LLM API (probably the OpenAI Responses API, which is sort of a lingua franca of LLMs now) directly.

This is one of those cases where it's really helpful to code, at least once, at one layer of abstraction below the one that seems most natural to you.

Agree. I've first used the Responses endpoint, and besides context like questions - it made me realize I did not want to build or self host in a lot of the gaps AI agents really needed. Eg: context, security, controls, external data source connection management, interaction mapping, etc.

Been looking forward to this. I'm not up to date on my python and reviewing Claude's implementation of the python library has taught me a lot.

Gonna point Claude at our repo and see if I can do an easy conversion, makes the amount of reviews I have to do a bit more bearable.

Having tried a few of these agent frameworks now, ADK-Python has easily been my favorite.

- It’s conceptually simple. An agent is just an object, you assign it tools that are just functions, and agents can call other agents.

- It’s "batteries included". You get a built-in code execution environment for doing math, session management, and web-server mode for debugging with a front-end.

- Optional callbacks provide clean hooks into the magic (for example, anonymizing or de-anonymizing data before and after LLM calls).

- It integrates with any model, supports MCP servers, and easy enough to hack in your existing session management system.

I'm working on a course in agent development and it's the framework I plan to teach with.

I would absolutely take this for a spin if I didn't hate Go so much :)
