Exports agent definitions to Python Agent Development Kit (ADK) code and deploys to Agent Runtime (reasoningEngines on aiplatform.googleapis.com); Cloud Console canvas path is /agent-platform/studio/agent-designer.

Notes & disambiguation

  • Opened inside the Google Cloud Console (Agent Platform -> Studio) for developers, technical builders, and analysts prototyping single- and multi-agent flows wired to Agent Registry (A2A) subagents and MCP tools, with direct Python ADK code export ('Get code') and deployment to Agent Runtime (reasoningEngines).
  • Note that Agent Studio's interactive canvas URL in the Google Cloud Console is console.cloud.google.com/agent-platform/studio/agent-designer—do not confuse that console path with Workflow Builder (formerly Gemini Enterprise Agent Designer), which is a separate no-code/low-code builder inside the end-user Gemini Enterprise web app (discoveryengine.googleapis.com, renamed at GA on September 3, 2026).
  • Within Agent Studio, 'Vertex AI Studio App Builder' was renamed to 'App Builder in Agent Studio' ('App Builder in Agent Studio on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform').
  • Do not confuse with standalone Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com).
