Frontend Experiences with ADK and A2UI | Google Codelabs
Executive Summary
This codelab explores frontend experiences using the ADK (Assistant Development Kit) and A2UI (Actions on Google User Interface). It focuses on building interactive and engaging interfaces for Google Assistant applications. The codelab guides users through the process of designing and implementing voice-based and visual components, enabling them to create rich, multimodal experiences for users interacting with Google Assistant.

Interactive Lab
Most agent apps return plain text. A2UI changes that. It's a protocol with 18 declarative UI primitives that lets your agent compose rich, interactive interfaces. The client renders them natively. No new frontend code needed per layout.
