Last modified: June 30, 2026

Introduction

This section provides step-by-step how-tos for building apps with Agents Kit 2. Learn how to create agents, integrate function calling, ground LLMs in your data, and implement agentic patterns.

Before You Begin

Review the Agents Kit Components available in Agents Kit 2. These include starter apps to jumpstart your development, showcase apps with example use cases, core modules for building agentic functionality, connector modules to integrate with various AI providers, and MCP modules for exposing and consuming tools across your enterprise.

If you are new to agentic and generative AI, start with the Glossary and GenAI Concepts to understand key terms and foundational concepts.
