Advanced Techniques for Building Agents with ADK and Vertex AI
Agent Development Kit (ADK) is an open source agent development framework built by Google. In this talk we are going to see how to leverage Vertex AI to make production-ready agents that include features like memory, session management, artifact management, RAG and others. The session will walk you through the development of an βExecutive Assistantβ agent that will learn not only about your tasks, but your preferences. Even if you have never built an agent before, in this talk you will learn how to quickly ramp up using Gemini CLI, the developer knowledge MCP and codewiki, for a truly modern agent development experience.
