Announcing ADK for Java 1.0.0: Building the Future of AI Agents in Java

Google has released version 1.0.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Java, introducing powerful new features like Google Maps grounding, built-in URL fetching, and a standardized Agent2Agent protocol for cross-framework collaboration. The update enhances agent control through a new "App" and "Plugin" architecture, which allows for global logging, automated context window management via event compaction, and "Human-in-the-Loop" workflows for action confirmations. Additionally, the release provides robust session and memory services using Google Cloud integrations like Firestore and Vertex AI to manage long-term state and large data artifacts.

Closing the knowledge gap with agent skills

To bridge the gap between static model knowledge and rapidly evolving software practices, Google DeepMind developed a "Gemini API developer skill" that provides agents with live documentation and SDK guidance. Evaluation results show a massive performance boost, with the gemini-3.1-pro-preview model jumping from a 28.2% to a 96.6% success rate when equipped with the skill. This lightweight approach demonstrates how giving models strong reasoning capabilities and access to a "source of truth" can effectively eliminate outdated coding patterns.

Jump to play: Building with Gemini & MediaPipe

The provided workflow streamlines motion-controlled game development by using Gemini Canvas to rapidly prototype mechanics like the MediaPipe Pose Landmarker through high-level prompting. Developers can refine these prototypes in Google AI Studio by optimizing for low-latency "lite" models and stable tracking points, such as shoulder landmarks, to ensure responsive gameplay. The process concludes by using Gemini Code Assist to refactor experimental code into a modular, production-ready application capable of supporting various multimodal inputs.
