Agent to Agent: Google’s ADK and the new frontier of AI
On this Michael Jordan episode (23!), we kick things off with a classic tale of a "five-minute" project gone wrong. Bradley shares his ambitious attempt at a parking lot car battery replacement that quickly turned into a 30-minute fishing expedition for a single lost part. Meanwhile, Bennett recounts a white-knuckle flight experience made even more stressful by a massive, internet-wide outage. What happens when the Google Cloud services that underpin everything suddenly go dark right before your flight? We dive into the chaos, what caused it, and what it reveals about our dependency on just a handful of tech giants.
That tech meltdown is the perfect launchpad for our main event: getting our hands dirty building with the latest AI. Bennett gives his firsthand review of Google's new Agent Development Kit (ADK), comparing its simplicity to the granular control of LangGraph. We explore the frontiers of multi-agent workflows and the tricky art of getting them to actually talk to each other. Then, Brad details his journey of building a custom MCP server from scratch and reveals how he’s squeezed over $1,400 of value from his AI coding assistant this month alone. With tools this powerful, we have to ask the big question: Is the era of traditional SaaS over? Tune in to hear our take on the future of custom software and what it truly means to be a builder in the age of AI.
