Introducing Agent Development Kit for TypeScript: Build AI Agents with the Power of a Code-First Approach

Google introduces Agent Development Kit (ADK) for TypeScript, an open-source framework for building AI agents and multi-agent systems using a code-first approach.

• •ADK replaces complex prompting with modular, testable components — Agents, Instructions, and Tools — defined directly in TypeScript
• •Provides end-to-end type safety, enabling both agent backend and application frontend to be built in a single language
• •Deployment-agnostic design supports local machines, containers, and serverless environments such as Google Cloud Run
• •Optimized for Google Gemini and Vertex AI but model-agnostic and compatible with third-party tools, including Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash
• •Includes native integration with MCP Toolbox for Databases for seamless data connectivity
