## AI overview

Google announces the 1.0 general availability release of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, a production-ready toolkit for building multi-agent applications with Kotlin, Java, and Android. Built on Kotlin Multiplatform, it provides feature parity with the ADK 1.0 Core and adds Android-first extensions for on-device agents with LiteRT-LM and ML Kit, hybrid cloud workflows through Firebase AI Logic, and state persistence with Room and AppSearch. The release also includes type-safe, compile-time function calling through KSP and declarative agent skills.

## Source excerpt

Google has officially released version 1.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, achieving full feature parity with the Python and Java ADK cores to enable idiomatic, multi-agent AI development. Built on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), the framework leverages Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) for zero-reflection, type-safe function calling, alongside advanced orchestration capabilities like human-in-the-loop workflows and context compaction. Additionally, the release introduces a robust suite of Android-first extensions, allowing mobile developers to integrate local models via LiteRT-LM, cloud reasoning through Firebase AI, session persistence using Room, and semantic memory powered by AppSearch.
