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.

Delegation shows up as ordinary tool activity in the orchestrator's stream, and specialist artifacts can merge into the parent session so the final answer can build on what each specialist produced.When to reach for ADK insteadGenkit agents are an application primitive, built to live inside a full-stack, user-facing app. Consider the Agent Development Kit (ADK) instead when:Multi-agent orchestration is the whole system, not just one feature.
