What is it?

ADK for Go is a modular framework for creating AI agents directly in Go code. It targets workflows ranging from simple single-agent tasks to larger systems where several specialized agents are composed together. Agent logic, tools, and orchestration are defined in Go, so they can be tested and versioned like any other part of a codebase.

The toolkit provides a set of pre-built tools, support for custom functions, and the ability to integrate existing tools. It is optimized for Gemini but is described as model-agnostic and deployment-agnostic. The project is aimed at cloud-native applications, and it includes support for containerizing agents and deploying them to environments such as Google Cloud Run.

The module is imported as google.golang.org/adk/v2 and requires Go 1.26.10 or later. Documentation, samples, and a machine-readable index for AI coding assistants are published alongside the repository.

Key features

  • 01Define agents, tools, and orchestration in idiomatic Go code.
  • 02Compose multiple specialized agents into modular multi-agent systems.
  • 03Use pre-built tools, custom functions, or existing tool integrations.
  • 04Containerize agents and deploy them to cloud-native platforms such as Cloud Run.
  • 05Model-agnostic design, optimized for Gemini.

Use cases

  • Building cloud-native backend services that include LLM-driven agents written in Go.
  • Orchestrating several specialized agents to handle a multi-step workflow such as issue triage and report generation.
  • Adding agent capabilities with custom tools to an existing Go codebase.
