> **⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES FROM 1.x**
>

## 🔥 What's New in 2.0

- **Workflow Runtime**: A graph-based execution engine for composing
  deterministic execution flows for agentic apps, with support for routing,
  fan-out/fan-in, loops, retry, state management, dynamic nodes,
  human-in-the-loop, and nested workflows.

- **Task API**: Structured agent-to-agent delegation with multi-turn task
  mode, single-turn controlled output, mixed delegation patterns,
  human-in-the-loop, and task agents as workflow nodes.

## 🚀 Installation

```bash
pip install google-adk
```

**Requirements:** Python 3.11+.

To install optional integrations, you can use the following command:

```bash
pip install "google-adk[extensions]"
```

The release cadence is roughly bi-weekly.

## Quick Start

### Agent

```python
from google.adk import Agent

root_agent = Agent(
    name="greeting_agent",
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    instruction="You are a helpful assistant. Greet the user warmly.",
)
```

### Workflow

```python
from google.adk import Agent, Workflow

generate_fruit_agent = Agent(
    name="generate_fruit_agent",
    instruction="Return the name of a random fruit. Return only the name.",
)

generate_benefit_agent = Agent(
    name="generate_benefit_agent",
    instruction="Tell me a health benefit about the specified fruit.",
)

root_agent = Workflow(
    name="root_agent",
    edges=[("START", generate_fruit_agent, generate_benefit_agent)],
)
```

### Run Locally

```bash
# Interactive CLI
adk run path/to/my_agent

# Web UI (supports multi-agent directories or pointing directly to a single agent folder)
adk web path/to/agents_dir
```
