Initializing an ADK Agent
This guide walks through creating a basic ADK agent from scratch, using the default configuration. You'll learn how to set up the agent lifecycle, configure basic parameters, and start your first agent instance.
ADK (Agent Development Kit) provides a comprehensive framework for building production-ready AI agents. The initialization process involves creating an agent builder, configuring the agent's capabilities, and starting the agent lifecycle. Here's a simple example:
Agent agent = new AgentBuilder()
.withName("DemoAgent")
.withModel("gpt-4")
.withTools(Arrays.asList(new CalculatorTool(), new WeatherTool()))
.build();
agent.start();
This creates a basic agent with a name, language model, and a set of tools. The agent will be ready to process requests and execute tasks using the configured tools and model.
