An open-source, code-first Python framework for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control.
⚠️ EARLY PREVIEW — BREAKING CHANGES FROM 1.xThis is an early alpha of ADK 2.0. It includes breaking changes to the agent API, event model, and session schema. Do NOT use with ADK 1.x databases or sessions — they are incompatible. APIs are subject to change without notice.
Install only with an explicit version pin:
pip install google-adk==2.0.0a1
pip install google-adkwill NOT install this version.
-
Workflow Runtime: A graph-based execution engine for composing deterministic execution flows for agentic apps, with support for routing, fan-out/fan-in, loops, retry, state management, dynamic nodes, human-in-the-loop, and nested workflows.
-
Task API: Structured agent-to-agent delegation with multi-turn task mode, single-turn controlled output, mixed delegation patterns, human-in-the-loop, and task agents as workflow nodes.
pip install google-adk==2.0.0a1Requirements: Python 3.11+.
