AI Agent Developments – April 10, 2025 Google launched its Agent Development Kit (ADK) at Google Cloud Next 2025, introducing an open-source Python framework for building multi-agent systems with modular design and bidirectional audio/video streaming capabilities. The toolkit enables developers to create functional AI agents in under 100 lines of code, accelerating enterprise adoption through Google Cloud integration. In academia, Clarivate expanded its Academic AI Platform with agentic AI tools, including a Literature Review Agent launching today via Web of Science and an upcoming Agent Builder platform for low-code AI tool customization. Over 3,000 institutions already use Clarivate’s AI-powered research tools. Microsoft highlighted Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry at its AI Agent Summit, demonstrating agent-led scenarios like automated market research. The company revealed 2.1 million monthly active users for its Business Applications Copilots. Fangzhou unveiled a three-tiered safety architecture for medical AI agents at Guangzhou’s closed-door summit, combining knowledge validation and multi-model collaboration to reduce hallucinations in healthcare applications. The system supports partnerships with Tencent Health for chronic disease management. Stanford’s 2025 AI Index Report noted that AI agents now match human experts in code-writing tasks while operating 4x faster in short-timeframe benchmarks, though humans maintain advantages in complex 32-hour projects.
