Agent Development Kit for Kotlin 1.0
Google's Kotlin/Android agent framework reaches 1.0 with feature parity to ADK Core plus on-device and Android-first extensions.
Overview
Published September 9, 2026, ADK for Kotlin 1.0 reaches full feature parity with ADK 1.0 Core (already available for Python, Go, Java, and TypeScript) and adds Android-first extensions: on-device agents via LiteRT-LM and ML Kit (beta), hybrid cloud workflows through Firebase AI Logic, and agent-state persistence via Room and AppSearch. It supports hierarchical multi-agent systems where agents delegate to specialized child agents.
