Turn your understanding of agents into practical reality by building, configuring, and running your first AI agent using Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK). In this hands-on course, you’ll set up a complete ADK development environment, create agents with both Python code and YAML configuration, and run them through multiple interfaces. You’ll also learn the core parameters that define agent behavior, taking what you learned in course 1 and applying it to working code.

AI Agents represent a major shift beyond traditional large language models (LLMs): instead of simply generating text-based solutions, they can also act autonomously to execute them. This course introduces the fundamentals of AI Agents, how they differ from LLM APIs, and where they add value in the real world. Based on Google’s agents whitepaper, it provides the theoretical foundation needed before writing your first lines of agent code—ideal for developers, architects, and technical decision-makers who want to understand AI systems through the lens of autonomous, goal-directed behavior (and not just text generation).
