Building Enterprise Agents with Google ADK: A Practical Guide
fhinkel · x · 2026-07-31
The article explores how to use Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) to build production-ready AI agents. Enterprise applications require structured frameworks to manage tool integration, context isolation, and authentication, rather than just simple LLM API calls.
Google ADK offers open-source SDKs for Python and Go. It facilitates local development via adk web, an interactive terminal interface for testing multimodal inputs and debugging tool calls before deploying to the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Furthermore, to prevent context saturation from stuffing everything into a single prompt, ADK introduces hierarchical subagents. This mechanism splits complex workflows, allowing each subagent to operate within its own scoped context.
