Google ADK 2.0 Tutorial: Don't Write AI Agents. Hire Them. (Agent Development Kit Deep Dive)

Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) finally clicks when you stop thinking like a programmer and start thinking like a founder: you don't write agents — you HIRE them. In this deep dive we found a real AI company (Briefly, Inc. — 4 agents, ~45 lines of Python), run it live on ADK 2.4, watch it on the adk web control room, give it a performance review with adk eval, read the payroll, and take it public. Every screen is a real capture from my machine. 💡 TIP: I speak slowly — most people watch HAL at 1.25× or 1.5× speed (gear icon → Playback speed). 📄 FREE: The ADK Hiring Kit (org-chart cheat sheet, the 4-box memory diagram, the copy-paste Briefly Inc. company, the eval quickstart, the v1-vs-v2 decision table): → Comment the word HIRE and I'll send it to you, or grab it here: https://hyperautomationlabs.co/free/hire 🚀 STARTING FROM ZERO?
