Vibe coding and context engineering with ADK

Author: Google for Developers - Bewertung: 17x - Views:215

Go from an empty folder to a fully deployed AI agent using only natural language. This video introduces "vibe coding," a powerful technique to build applications from scratch using the Gemini CLI.

Follow along with Sita and Amit as they demonstrate how to scaffold a new AI agent with the Agent Development Kit (ADK) in plain English. You'll then learn "Context Engineering," the secret sauce for moving your agent from a prototype to production. See how to provide documentation, coding standards, and feature requirements to guide the AI in generating high-quality, maintainable code.

Finally, watch as they deploy the entire agent to Google Cloud Run with a single command.

Stick around for the "Eng Talk" segment, where Amit and Sita answer top community questions:
- Is RAG obsolete with million-token context windows?
- How do you manage context overload?
- What metrics should you use to track context retrieval?
- What are the best tips for token optimization?
