Announcing ADK for Kotlin and ADK for Android 0.1.0: Building AI Agents on Android and Beyond

Google has announced the launch of version 0.1.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, alongside a specialized ADK library for Android. This open-source framework simplifies the creation of AI agents by managing complex orchestration, session sharing, and error handling across cloud and edge environments. The release supports hybrid orchestration, enabling developers to build multi-agent systems where a cloud-based model can seamlessly offload specific tasks to local, on-device models like Gemini Nano to enhance user privacy.
