Building Agents with Antigravity and Agents CLI Training

In this course, you will learn how to create enterprise agents on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. You will discover why real-world business tasks require autonomous agents and how to leverage Antigravity, and the Agent CLI to transform and automate your ADK development workflow.

You will learn how to manage agents, examining how the platform splits into a control plane that defines agents and a data plane that runs them on the Managed Agents API. Through conceptual lessons and a hands-on lab building an agent from scratch, you will learn how to assemble agent components, execute resilient reason-act loops, manage persistent multi-turn state, and ensure scalability across your enterprise AI projects.

  • →Core Agent Configuration
  • →Local Code Validation and Testing
Objectives
  • Execute the evaluation workflow using the Agents CLI to generate execution traces and systematically grade agent performance using LLM-as-judge metrics
  • Formulate comprehensive evaluation datasets and metric configurations that rigorously test agent behaviors
  • Analyze evaluation scores to identify common failure modes, iteratively refining the agent's logic or the metric descriptions
Topics covered
  • →Evaluation Structure and Workflow
  • →Evaluation Configurations and Datasets
  • →Evaluation Best Practices and Iteration
Objectives
  • Differentiate between code-first and infrastructure-first deployment strategies to select the appropriate foundation for enterprise agent applications
  • Configure a secure execution environment by defining network allowlists and external data mounts to strictly control the agent's data access and network reach
  • Execute agent operations by defining durable agent resources on the control plane and launching ephemeral interactions on the data plane
Topics covered
  • →Infrastructure-First vs. Code-First Approaches
  • →The Sandbox Environment and Security Boundaries

Build Agents with the Agent Development Kit

In this course, you'll learn to use the Agent Development Kit (ADK) to build systems where multiple AI agents collaborate on complex tasks. You'll start with the ADK agent model: how ADK represents agents, tools, and runners, and how a single agent is configured and run. You'll then make tools the model can call, persist session state across agents, and instrument the execution lifecycle with callbacks and plugins. Next, you'll orchestrate multiple agents using ADK's template workflow agents and graph-based workflows, and ground them in enterprise data through multi-source retrieval and MCP integrations. Finally, you'll deploy a multi-agent system to Agent Runtime as a managed service and register and share it through Gemini Enterprise so users across an organization can reach it.

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.
