Build agentic full-stack apps with Genkit
Consider the Agent Development Kit (ADK) instead when:Multi-agent orchestration is the whole system, not just one feature. ADK is purpose-built for complex agent topologies, where Genkit's delegation middleware is deliberately lighter and not built into the core of the agent abstraction.You want a managed runtime, not just a library. You can implement your own persistence layer using the `store` interface.Test and explore in the Developer UIAgents are first-class in the Genkit Developer UI.
