&lt;p&gt;By the end of this post, you&amp;rsquo;ll:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand what Google ADK is&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Build a working AI agent from scratch&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understand ADK&amp;rsquo;s core architecture (App, Agent, Tools)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prerequisites&lt;/strong&gt;: Python 3.10+, basic Python knowledge, an API key for an LLM provider (Google, OpenAI, or Anthropic)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-is-google-adk"&gt;What is Google ADK?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) is an &lt;strong&gt;open-source, code-first toolkit&lt;/strong&gt; for building AI agents. It&amp;rsquo;s Google&amp;rsquo;s answer to the growing complexity of agent development, designed to make building production-grade agents as straightforward as building a web API.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
