Google has announced significant updates to its AI agent technology, aiming to create more autonomous and collaborative AI assistants for enterprise users.

The updates are focused on improving agent management and communication, making the agents more streamlined and efficient.

A key development is the release of the production-ready Python Agent Development Kit (ADK) v.1.0.0, already utilized by companies like Renault Group, Box, and Revionics.

Alongside this, Google launched the first release of the Java ADK v0.1.0, expanding the development platform.

To aid in agent management, Google introduced an Agent Engine UI within the Google Cloud console, providing features like a dashboard for managing deployed agents, performance metrics, session management, and debugging tools.

Improvements have also been made to the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, including version 0.2, which supports stateless interactions and standardized authentication.

A Python SDK for A2A has been released to simplify agent-to-agent communication within Python-based AI agents.

Google highlighted support for A2A from various tech companies, including Auth0, Box AI, Microsoft, SAP, and Zoom, emphasizing the broader industry interest.

The company stated that these advancements are designed to provide a comprehensive platform for ambitious agent-driven projects.
