Overview

VeADK is a Python framework for building intelligent agents. It is compatible with Google ADK’s agent and runtime model and adds integrations for Ark models, AgentKit, memory, knowledge bases, observability, security, and enterprise frontends, allowing the same agent code to move from local development to cloud execution. This page covers the released VeADK 1.1.26 version. Start with Installation and the Quickstart. When maintaining an existing application, select documentation for its version and check each page for version requirements.

Use cases

Build Python agents that call tools, search knowledge bases, or retain user memory.
Reuse Google ADK Agent, Runner, Session, and multi-agent behavior with Volcengine services.
Develop locally and deploy the same agent to AgentKit or VeFaaS.
Add tracing, identity, content safety, Feishu channels, or an enterprise frontend.

Core components

Component	Purpose
`Agent`	Defines the model, instructions, tools, skills, knowledge base, memory, and execution runtime.
`Runner`	Executes agents and manages event streams and application, user, and session isolation.
Short-term sessions	Store messages and state within a conversation using memory, SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL.
Long-term memory	Retain user facts and preferences across sessions with VikingDB, Mem0, OpenViking, and other backends.
Knowledge bases	Ingest and retrieve external material through managed services or vector stores.
Tools and skills	Connect functions, MCP services, Volcengine capabilities, and reusable skills.
Observability and security	Export traces and add inbound authentication, outbound credentials, and content safety.
