In this session, we present the Agent Development Kit (ADK). The ADK provides a flexible and modular framework designed for developing and deploying AI agents and optimized for complex agents and multi-agent systems, providing higher-level abstractions for agent development. It is packaged as a Python library and command line tool that allows you to configure agents that run on the IBM watsonx Orchestrate platform. The ADK also supports integrating agents and tools built on other frameworks.
