Google Adk - Agent Development Kit (Mac, Windows, Ubuntu)

ADK Components | Build Agents on Mac, Windows, Ubuntu | Deploy to Google Cloud | Free Gemini Key

What you'll learn

We’ll start with a brief theory of agent frameworks, LLMs, and multi-agent systems.

We'll dive deep into Google's Agent Development Kit. All platforms (MacOS, Windows, Ubuntu) will be covered

We will build a practical "Website Builder Agent" from scratch.

And we'll do all of this using a free Gemini API Key, so you don't have to pay for AI models while you're learning.

Requirements

You need either a MacOS, Windows 11 or Ubuntu Computer

Basic knowledge of Python, Powershell/Terminal, VS code is a must - we will use the Python SDK for ADK

Basic familiarity with LLMs like Google Gemini and your choice of OS is a must

Description

TL;DR - Learn to build AI agents using Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) on Mac + Windows + Ubuntu. This course introduces you to this new agent framework, walks you through Google’s ADK, and shows you how to build, debug, and deploy intelligent agents using Python ADK (v1.0.0). You'll get hands-on experience with real code, multi-agent systems, streaming, and tool calling. Note - Course in beta, lectures being added frequently every 1-2 weeks. What You Will BuildMultiple AI agents using Google ADK (Python ADK v1.0.0)ADK’s Web Playground and step-by-step tracingVoice and video communication with agents (ADK’s built-in capability)Basic MCP and A2A integration/compatibilityKey Features of Google ADKSoftware-first Agent Design: Develop agents like apps, with predictable behavior and structureWeb Playground: Use adk web to launch a full visual UI to interact with your agentsEvent & Token Streaming: Real-time tracing, token-by-token output, and request inspectionBi-directional Audio/Video: Let agents hear, speak, and see users in real-timeModel Agnostic: Use Gemini, OpenAI, or even open-source modelsImportant NotesThe Course is recorded on a MacBook and Windows and UbuntuLectures are labeled with OS it is recorded on. When no label is provided, it means that it is a common lecture for all platformsCourse is in Beta with lectures being added every 1-2 weeks. Course outline and plan is tentaive!This course is based on Google ADK which is still evolving. The Python version (v1.0.0) offers stability and used for most implementations. Things might break, please be open to that. We'll address these aspects as they happen!DisclaimerThis course is for educational purposes only. You are responsible for reviewing all terms, privacy policies, usage restrictions, and pricing for third-party services you use during this course (such as Google Gemini or GCP). We do not offer any guarantees or warranties related to these external services. The Gemini API key and other tools are provided by Google and may change over time. We simply guide you through their use in learning environments and demonstrate practical agent development techniques. Let’s Build the Next Generation of Agents Together!By the end of this course, you’ll have built your own AI agents using ADK — agents that can reason, communicate, use tools, and collaborate with other agents. Whether you’re here to learn, explore, or innovate, this course is your gateway to the future of agentic computing.
