This 19-minute tutorial video from Google walks you through building your first AI agent using the open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK). Follow a step-by-step guide that demonstrates ADK's code-first framework, covering fundamental concepts including agent definition, Runners, Services, and the event loop. Learn multiple ways to run and debug your agent locally through the built-in web UI (adk web) or command-line interface (adk run). The tutorial includes building a sample YouTube Shorts agent and explores different agent types including Loop Agents. The video is organized into chapters covering introduction to ADK, sample architecture, LLM Agent implementation, running options, agent types, testing, and programmatic execution, with links to additional resources for further exploration.
