Deploy multi-agent systems with Agent Development Kit and Agent Engine
In this course, you’ll learn to use the Google Agent Development Kit to build complex, multi-agent systems. You will build agents equipped with tools, and connect them with parent-child relationships and flows to define how they interact. You’ll run your agents locally and deploy them to Vertex AI Agent Engine to run as a managed agentic flow, with infrastructure decisions and resource scaling handled by Agent Engine.
