Agent Development Kit (ADK) for AI Agents: Build Smarter Multi-Agent Systems, Harness Gemini & Vertex AI, and Accelerate AI Application Development

What if building intelligent, production-ready AI agents was no longer a research problem but a developer's toolset you could use today?

This book, Agent Development Kit (ADK) for AI Agents: Build Smarter Multi-Agent Systems, Harness Gemini & Vertex AI, and Accelerate AI Application Development, shows you how to turn that possibility into reality.

At its core, this is a practical handbook for engineers and developers who want to build, test, and deploy reliable multi-agent systems. Using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) together with Gemini and Vertex AI, you'll learn how to move from single-agent prototypes to scalable, multi-agent architectures designed for real-world use.

Inside, you'll master:

Setting up and running your first agent with ADK's terminal and development UI.

Designing and chaining tools from built-in utilities like search to custom APIs, databases, and webhooks.

Orchestrating multi-agent systems using proven patterns such as Coordinator/Dispatcher, Fan-Out/Gather, and Human-in-the-Loop setups.

Integrating agents into front-end experiences with REST, WebSockets, and streaming interactions.

Evaluating and hardening your systems through regression tests, metrics for accuracy and cost, and guardrails for safety.

Deploying and scaling agents on Cloud Run, Vertex AI Agent Engine, and distributed infrastructures, with strategies for throughput, concurrency, and cost optimization.

Each chapter is hands-on, backed with complete, working code examples, never just theory. From travel planning and renovation agents to negotiation demos and customer support orchestration, you'll see how ADK powers real, production-grade applications.

This isn't a book about possibilities, it's a book about execution. By the end, you'll know how to architect AI agents that are smarter, faster, and more reliable, whether you're experimenting locally or running fleets of agents in the cloud.

Stop waiting for the future of AI agents. Build it now. Add this book to your library and start creating intelligent systems that deliver.
