The Gradient™ Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a comprehensive toolkit for building, testing, deploying, and evaluating AI agents on DigitalOcean's Gradient™ AI Platform. It provides both a **CLI** for development workflows and a **runtime environment** for hosting agents with automatic trace capture.
The DigitalOcean Gradient™ Agent Development Kit (ADK) is a Python toolkit designed to help you build, deploy, and operate production-grade AI agents with zero infrastructure overhead.

Building AI agents is challenging enough without worrying about observability, evaluations, and deployment infrastructure. We built the Gradient™ ADK with one simple aim: **bring your agent code, and we handle the rest**—bringing the simplicity you love about DigitalOcean to AI agents.

## Why Use DigitalOcean Gradient™ ADK?

- **Framework Agnostic**: Bring your existing agent code—whether built with LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, PydanticAI, or any Python framework. No rewrites, no lock-in.

- **Pay Per Use**: Only pay for what you use with serverless agent hosting. **Currently provided at no compute cost during Public Preview!**

- **Any LLM Provider**: Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or DigitalOcean's own Gradient™ AI serverless inference—your choice, your keys.

- **Built-in Observability**: Get automatic traces, evaluations, and insights out of the box. No OpenTelemetry setup, no third-party integrations required.

- **Production Ready from Day One**: Deploy with a single command to DigitalOcean's managed infrastructure. Focus on building your agent, not managing servers.

- **Seamless DigitalOcean Integration**: Connect effortlessly to the DigitalOcean ecosystem—Knowledge Bases for RAG, Serverless Inference for LLMs, built-in Evaluations, and more.
