Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when agent behavior and orchestration need to live in maintainable, versioned Go code, especially for tool integration, multi-agent workflows or cloud-native applications.

Who it is for

  • Go developers building AI agent applications
  • Teams creating tool-using agents with custom functions
  • Developers composing multiple specialized agents
  • Teams targeting cloud-native agent deployments

Documented uses

  • Define agent logic directly in Go
  • Integrate pre-built tools, custom functions or existing tools
  • Compose specialized agents into multi-agent systems
  • Evaluate and version agent workflows
  • Containerize agent applications for cloud-native deployment

Requirements & limits

The repository is public, open source and licensed under Apache 2.0. No account or pricing requirement is documented in the supplied material.

  • Go is the primary implementation language and the toolkit is designed for idiomatic Go development.
  • The framework is optimized for Gemini while described as model-agnostic and compatible with other frameworks.
  • Multi-agent composition is explicitly supported.
  • Containerization and Google Cloud Run are documented deployment directions.
  • The repository provides documentation, samples and a Go API reference.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Add ADK Go to a Go project

Set up the ADK Go dependency in an existing Go project.

Before you start

  • An existing Go project.
  • Access to a shell where the documented Go command can be run.

Steps

  1. Open a shell in the Go project.

  2. Run the command below.

    Documented command
    go get google.golang.org/adk/v2

  3. Use the ADK Go documentation, samples and API reference as the next development resources.

Expected outcome

The project has the ADK Go module added and a documented path to continue building an agent application.
