Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a flexible and modular framework that applies software development principles to AI agent creation. It is designed to simplify building, deploying, and orchestrating agent workflows, from simple tasks to complex systems. While optimized for Gemini, ADK is model-agnostic, deployment-agnostic, and compatible with other frameworks.

This Go version of ADK is ideal for developers building cloud-native agent applications, leveraging Go's strengths in concurrency and performance.

*   **Rich Tool Ecosystem:** Utilize pre-built tools, custom functions, or integrate existing tools to give agents diverse capabilities.
*   **Code-First Development:** Define agent logic, tools, and orchestration directly in Go for ultimate flexibility, testability, and versioning.
*   **Modular Multi-Agent Systems:** Design scalable applications by composing multiple specialized agents.
*   **Deploy Anywhere:** Easily containerize and deploy agents, with strong support for cloud-native environments like Google Cloud Run.
