At the simplest level, an AI agent doesn’t just answer—it decides and takes action. In this video, Smitha goes beyond basic chatbots and demonstrates how to build a fully autonomous, self-correcting multi-agent system from scratch using Google’s Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).





First, Smitha breaks down the theory behind modern agents: the ReAct Framework (reasoning and acting) and the 3 main agent patterns (sequential, reactive, and planning). Then, she jumps straight into Python to build a practical *Blog Writing Agent*. Watch along and learn how to combine *Planner* and *Writer* agents with validation checkers and loop agents to create an AI that catches its own mistakes and automatically retries until it gets it right.
