GCP – Calling all devs: Build multi-agent systems in the Agent Development Kit Hackathon with Google Cloud

Heard of AI agents lately? We know many of you are itching to start building them! Here’s your chance with the Agent Development Kit Hackathon with Google Cloud. 

Everyone’s talking about AI agents, but the real magic happens when they collaborate to tackle complex tasks. Think: complex processes, data analysis, content creation, and customer support. In this hackathon, you’ll build autonomous multi-agent AI systems using Google Cloud and the open source Agent Development Kit (ADK). 

This is your chance to dive deep into cutting-edge AI, showcase your skills, and contribute to the future of agent development.

Why join?

• Hands-on learning with the ADK: This is your chance to try out and contribute to Agent Development Kit (ADK). We’ll provide you with the resources, support, and expert guidance you need to build sophisticated multi-agent systems.

• Real-world impact: Tackle real world problems that directly impact how work gets done, from automating complex processes and deriving data insights to changing customer service and content creation.

• A showcase for your talent: Present your project to a panel of judges and demonstrate your expertise to a wide audience. Build working agents that can help your workflows and be the foundation for a future product.

And the rewards? Exciting prizes await!

We’re offering a range of exciting prizes:

• Overall grand prize: $15,000 in USD, $3,000 in Google Cloud Credits for use with a Cloud Billing Account, 1 year of Google Developer Program Premium subscription at no-cost, virtual coffee with a Google team member, and social promo
• Regional winners: $8,000 in USD, $1,000 in Google Cloud Credits for use with a Cloud Billing Account, virtual coffee with a Google team member, and social promo
• Honorable mentions: $1000 in USD and $500 in Google Cloud Credits for use with a Cloud Billing Account

Unleash the power of the Agent Development Kit (ADK):

ADK is a flexible and modular framework designed for developing and deploying AI agents. It’s an open-source framework that offers tight integration with the Google ecosystem and Gemini models. ADK makes it easy to get started with simple agents powered by Gemini models and Google AI tools, while also providing the control needed for more complex agent architectures and orchestration.

What to build

Your project should demonstrate how to design and orchestrate interactions between multiple autonomous agents using ADK. Build in one of these categories:

• Automation of complex processes: Design multi-agent workflows to automate complex, multi-step business processes, software development lifecycle, or manage intricate tasks.
• Data analysis and insights: Create multi-agent systems that autonomously analyze data from various sources, derive meaningful insights using tools like BigQuery, and collaboratively present findings.
• Customer service and engagement: Develop intelligent virtual assistants or support agents built with ADK as multi-agent systems to handle complex customer inquiries, provide personalized support, and proactively engage with customers.
• Content creation and generation: Build multi-agent systems that can autonomously generate different forms of content, such as marketing materials, reports, or code, by orchestrating agents with specialized content generation capabilities.

Crucial note: Your project must be built using the Agent Development Kit (ADK), focusing on the design and interactions between multiple agents. Think ADK first, but feel free to supercharge your solution by integrating with other awesome Google Cloud technologies!
