CopilotKit + ADK Generative Canvas

adk-canvas3.mp4

---

This project provides a Canvas UI for building and running agents with Google’s ADK, AG-UI, and CopilotKit.

Instead of plain text, the agent can populate metrics, charts, and real-time data into the Canvas dashboard.

---

🔧 Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/your-org/copilotkit-adk-canvas
cd copilotkit-adk-canvas

# install JS deps + agent
pnpm install        # or npm/yarn/bun

# install Python deps separately for the ADK agent
pnpm install:agent

# set your Google API key
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-google-api-key-here"

# start UI + agent together
pnpm run dev

📦 Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Python 3.8+
• Google Makersuite API Key → get one here
• Any package manager (pnpm recommended)

💡 Lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, etc.) are gitignored — each dev manages their own.
