Let’s build our first Google Vertex AI agent.

Open your Visual Studio Code IDE -> File -> New Folder -> Point to your agent folder on your local disk

Open the terminal : Terminal -> New Terminal

Create a new virtual env:

python -m venv .venv

And activate your virtual environment

.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Let’s install the Google ADK

pip install google-adk

Create an agent using the following command

adk create my_agent

Choose the model for the root agent ->Type ‘1’ and enter

Choose model (Google AI, Vertex AI) -> Type ‘1’

Enter your Google API key. If you don’t have one, quickly create by going to the Google’s AI studio – https://aistudio.google.com/api-keys

Create API Key -> Choose Imported Project ->Select your default project -> Import -> Create Key -> Copy the key

Copy this key and paste it in your Visual studio code terminal:

The agent is now created in your local folder

Now, you can run your agent by typing the following command

adk run my_agent

Now, you can ask questions:

If you want to have an UI experience, you can type the command, type the http address in your browser and the browser will open the web page of the agent
