Agent Development Kit (ADK) Go Samples

This collection provides ready-to-use sample agents built on top of Go Agent Development Kit. These agents cover a range of common use cases and complexities, from simple conversational bots to complex multi-agent workflows.

🚀 Getting Started with Go Samples

Follow these steps to set up and run the sample agents:

1. Prerequisites:

   • Install Go ADK: Ensure you have Go Agent Development Kit installed and configured. Follow the Go instructions in the ADK Installation Guide.
   • Set Up Environment Variables: Each agent example relies on a .env file for configuration (like API keys, Google Cloud project IDs, and location). This keeps secrets out of the code.
     • You will need to create a .env file in each agent's directory you wish to run (usually by copying the provided .env.example).
     • Setting up these variables, especially obtaining Google Cloud credentials, requires careful steps. Refer to the Environment Setup section in the ADK Installation Guide for detailed instructions.
   • Google Cloud Project (Recommended): While some agents might run locally with just an API key, most leverage Google Cloud services like Vertex AI and BigQuery. A configured Google Cloud project is highly recommended. See the ADK Quickstart for setup details.

2. Clone this repository:

   To start working with the ADK Go samples, first clone the public adk-samples repository:

   git clone https://github.com/google/adk-samples.git
   cd adk-samples/go

3. Explore the Agents:

   • Navigate to the agents/ directory.
   • The agents/README.md provides an overview and categorization of the available agents.
   • Browse the subdirectories. Each contains a specific sample agent with its own README.md.

4. Run an Agent:

   • Choose an agent from the agents/ directory.
   • Navigate into that agent's specific directory (e.g., cd agents/llm-auditor).
   • Follow the instructions in that agent's README.md file for specific setup (like installing dependencies via poetry install) and running the agent.
   • Browse the folders in this repository. Each agent and tool have its own README.md file with detailed instructions.

Notes:

These agents have been built and tested using Google models on Vertex AI. You can test these samples with other models as well. Please refer to ADK Tutorials to use other models for these samples.
