Google launches ADK for Kotlin and Android 0.1.0

Google has released ADK for Kotlin 0.1.0 and a new ADK for Android library for building AI agents across backend and mobile apps. The opensource framework is designed to simplify agent orchestration, tool use, session handling, and error management for developers working with cloud and ondevice models. The Androidfocused library is built to support ondevice AI experiences, including local execution with models such as Gemini Nano, while still allowing apps to connect to cloudbased models when needed. Google says this approach can help improve privacy and enable hybrid systems that split tasks between the device and the cloud. The company highlighted features such as multiagent workflows, function tools, retrieval on local documents, telemetry, and session memory. It also shared sample Kotlin code and use cases, including a travel assistant and a simple routing agent example. Google described the release as an early experimental version and said more capabilities are planned.
