- What happened
- Google released ADK for Kotlin 1.0, a production-ready framework for building AI agents in Kotlin, Java, and Android with on-device and cloud capabilities.
- Why it matters
- Kotlin and Android developers building AI agents need this if they want type-safe, compiled function calling, multi-agent orchestration, and native Android persistence.
- Watch out
- The framework requires Kotlin Symbol Processing at compile time; runtime behavior depends on model backend choice and whether you run on-device or cloud.
