Open Source For You, Monday, July 13th, 2026
Google previews Genkit Agents, adding an Agents API for conversational and multi-agent AI apps to its open-source framework.
Google has introduced a preview of Genkit Agents, expanding its open-source Genkit framework with an Agents API that streamlines development of conversational and agentic AI applications.
The unified framework consolidates conversation management, session handling, tool execution and application state into one system, reducing developer complexity.
Available for TypeScript and Go, it supports both server-managed sessions via services like Firestore and client-managed approaches, plus conversation branching and human approval workflows for sensitive operations.
Developers can build specialized agents coordinated by orchestrator agents, with support for long-running detached tasks.
