Go from zero to hero by building, testing, and deploying autonomous AI agents using the powerful Agent Development Kit
What you'll learn
Understand the core concepts, lifecycle, and key components of AI agents using the ADK framework.
Build, run, and interact with a functional AI agent from scratch using the Agent Development Kit.
Enhance agent capabilities by integrating external tools, APIs, managing memory, and implementing planning.
Deploy a production-ready AI agent by containerizing with Docker and deploying to a cloud service.
Requirements
Basic understanding of programming concepts (preferably Python). No prior experience with AI agents or the ADK is required. You will need a computer with internet access to install the development kit and connect to language models.
Description
Dive into the exciting world of autonomous AI agents with the comprehensive "AI Agent Development Kit (ADK)" course! If you've been fascinated by the potential of AI to perform complex tasks, manage workflows, and interact with digital environments, this is the course for you. We will take you from the fundamental concepts of AI agents to deploying a fully functional agent in the cloud.This course is built around a hands-on, project-based approach. We won't just talk about theory; you will be writing code and building real agents from the very first sections. We begin by demystifying what an AI agent is, exploring the core principles that govern its behavior, and introducing you to the ADK framework—a powerful toolset designed to simplify agent development. You'll gain a solid understanding of the agent lifecycle, key components like memory and planning, and the essential terminology you need to speak the language of AI development.Next, we'll guide you step-by-step through setting up your development environment. You'll learn how to install the ADK, configure your first project, manage dependencies, and crucially, connect your agent to powerful Large Language Models (LLMs) which serve as the agent's 'brain'.With your environment ready, the real fun begins. You will build your very first agent! We will start by defining a clear goal, structuring the agent's code, implementing its core logic, and then running and interacting with it. You'll experience the thrill of seeing your creation come to life. But we don't stop there. The course then delves into enhancing your agent's capabilities. You'll learn how to integrate external tools and APIs (so your agent can browse the web or use other software), manage its memory for context-aware conversations, and implement sophisticated planning and reasoning modules for tackling more complex tasks.An agent is only as good as its reliability. That's why we've dedicated a significant portion of the course to testing and debugging. You will learn professional-grade techniques for unit testing agent components, performing end-to-end evaluations to ensure your agent meets its goals, and debugging common issues using effective logging and monitoring strategies. These skills are essential for building robust and trustworthy agents.Finally, we'll cover the complete deployment pipeline. You'll learn how to prepare your agent for a production environment, containerize it using Docker for portability and scalability, and deploy it to a popular cloud service. We'll even show you how to create a simple API for your agent, allowing other applications to interact with it.By the end of this course, you will not just understand AI agents; you will have the practical skills to build, enhance, test, and deploy them. You'll be equipped with the knowledge to start your own agent-based projects or contribute to the growing field of autonomous AI systems.
