• Build with Gemini Sunnyvale: Antigravity Can Cook! With Caveats.

  A few terms, since the table moves fast. ADK, Google's Agent Development Kit, is the framework the agent is written in. Firestore is the database holding the hackathons. A2UI is a format that lets an agent send back interface pieces, like a card with a checkbox, instead of a paragraph. Cloud Run hosts the web app. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

• Regression Tests for kagent Agents with agentevals

  The conversion is where the work turned out to be. Agentevals wants a flat list of OpenAI-format chat messages. Kagent records what its agents do as Google ADK events. Getting from one to the other is not a field rename, and three of the reasons only showed up when I ran it against real sessions instead of reading the schema. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• Google ADK CLI: The Fastest Way to Build and Ship AI Agents in 2026 [Guide]

  First, ADK is genuinely multi-model. It supports Gemini, Gemma, Claude (via Vertex), Ollama, vLLM, LiteLLM, and LiteRT-LM. You're not locked into Gemini. You can route different agent tasks to different models based on cost, latency, or capability. This matters in production, where your summarization agent absolutely doesn't need the same model as your code generation agent. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• If Dspy is so great, why isn't anyone using it?

  Have you looked at ADK? How does it compare? Does it even fit in the same place as Dspy? https://google.github.io/adk-docs/ disclaimer, I use ADK, haven't really looked at Dspy (though I have prior heard of it). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Top 7 AI Agent Frameworks for Developers in 2026

  Google's Agent Development Kit uses hierarchical agent trees where a root agent delegates to specialized sub-agents. It's the only framework with native A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol support. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Async compaction: the race conditions nobody talks about

  Google ADK triggers compaction via events and runs summarization asynchronously. The result is written back as a new event. A sliding window with overlap preserves the most recent messages. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Agentic AI Code Review: From Confidently Wrong to Evidence-Based

  [!TIP] Starting greenfield? Google's ADK is a solid default — it provides a similar tool interface with built-in orchestration, tracing, and callback hooks. The patterns below (tool contracts, terminal actions, structured output, context hygiene) apply either way. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• LINE Bot Architecture Overhaul: From if/elif Hell to Multi-Agent Orchestration

  In early 2025, Google released the Agent Development Kit (ADK), which provides a framework for building Multi-Agent systems. I decided to refactor the entire project with ADK to implement an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) architecture. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Agent Factory Recap: Securing AI Agents in Production

  Finally, we secured the agent's tools. Within the Agent Development Kit (ADK), we can use callbacks to validate actions before they execute. The ADK also includes a built-in PII redaction plugin, which provides a built-in method for filtering sensitive data at the agent level. We compared this with Model Armor's Sensitive Data Protection, noting the ADK plugin is specific to callbacks, while Model Armor provides a... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• Agent Development in Hours, Not Weeks: Accelerating with Gemini 3 and Google ADK

  However, a revolutionary shift is underway, largely thanks to the potent synergy between Gemini 3's advanced capabilities and the streamlined tooling provided by the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). This powerful combination isn't just about incremental improvements; it represents a paradigm shift, compressing development timelines from weeks of effort down to mere hours. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• An adaptable toolkit to build APIs and agents, with friendly interfaces for streaming, multimodality and integrations

  ...but it's not a package offering. No layer is obligatory, and in your particular project, you may end up having a nicer integration and less complexity than if you used ADK, for example. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
