The Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Go 2.0 introduces a first-class, graph-based workflow engine to help developers compose complex multi-agent applications. This update incorporates built-in primitives for human-in-the-loop orchestration, dynamic execution using plain Go code, and automated resilience features like exponential backoff retries. Single-agent applications and intricate graphs now run on the same unified runtime, simplifying telemetry.

To install or upgrade to Agent Development Kit for Go 2.0, update your Go environment and module dependencies to reference the ADK Go 2.0 release. Fetch the ADK Go 2.0 release into your Go workspace and update your module definitions to import the updated package files. Transition existing single-agent applications and graph implementations to build against this unified ADK Go 2.0 runtime.
During verification, test both single-agent applications and complex graph workflows on the unified runtime to ensure dynamic execution in plain Go code runs properly. Confirm that built-in human-in-the-loop primitives operate as expected and that automated resilience features perform exponential backoff retries. Validate your upgrade by checking that telemetry output is simplified and correctly emitted across all execution graphs.
