Google Agents CLI + Claude Code: Building Production-Style AI Agents in Under 30 Minutes

Google Cloud NEXT '26 Challenge Submission

Google released something that could significantly accelerate how developers build AI agents:

Google Agents CLI

Combined with:

  • Google ADK (Agent Development Kit)
  • Claude Code (or Gemini CLI / OpenCode)

it creates one of the fastest workflows currently available for building, testing, evaluating, and deploying multi-agent systems.

In this project, I built a full Multi-agent Customer Support team in under 30 minutes.


What I Built

A production-style customer support team powered by four specialized AI agents:

🎧 Concierge Agent

  • First point of contact
  • User intent classification
  • Request routing

📦 Logistician Agent

  • Order status
  • Shipping updates
  • Inventory checks

🎭 Stylist Agent

  • Product recommendations
  • Catalog discovery
  • Personalized suggestions

🛡️ Resolver Agent

  • Returns
  • Refunds
  • Human escalation for high-value disputes

Core Stack

Google ADK

Google’s Python-native Agent Development Kit that provides:

  • Agent abstractions
  • Tool integration
  • Session handling
  • Multi-agent architecture patterns

Google Agents CLI

A workflow layer that enables:

  • Scaffold
  • Build
  • Validate
  • Deploy

Claude Code

Your implementation accelerator:

  • Writes code
  • Generates tests
  • Creates evals
  • Performs security audits
  • Assists deployment

Workflow

1. Scaffold the Foundation with Google Agents CLI

The process starts by using Google Agents CLI to rapidly initialize and scaffold the entire multi-agent project structure.

This includes:

  • Base architecture
  • Agent framework setup
  • Development workflow
  • Deployment pathways

Instead of manually creating boilerplate, the CLI provides a production-oriented foundation from day one.

2. Define the Multi-Agent System Through Natural Language

Next, Claude Code acts as the implementation engine.

By providing detailed system requirements in plain language, I specified:

  • Individual agent roles
  • Responsibilities for each specialist
  • Agent-to-agent communication patterns
  • Human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Session memory requirements
  • Mock data sources
  • Deployment targets

This transforms high-level business logic directly into executable architecture.

3. Rapid End-to-End System Generation

From those instructions, Claude Code + Agents CLI collaboratively generated:

System Design:

  • Full design specification
  • Agent hierarchy
  • Routing logic
  • Communication workflows

Development Assets:

  • Agent definitions
  • Tool integrations
  • Mock datasets
  • Core application code

Quality Assurance:

  • Unit tests
  • Integration tests
  • Evaluation suites
  • Security audit recommendations

4. Deployment

The system successfully:

  • Containerized the application
  • Pushed to Artifact Registry
  • Configured IAM
  • Deployed to Google Cloud Run
  • Created GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows

Which means every future code push can:

Test → Eval → Deploy automatically

This workflow creates a streamlined path from concept → validated production prototype in dramatically less time than traditional development workflows.


Key Takeaway

The hardest part is no longer building AI agents.

It’s deciding what to build.

That’s a massive shift.

As tooling matures, developer leverage increases dramatically.


Production Advice

If you’re planning to use this stack seriously:

Prioritize:

  • Prompt injection defenses
  • Adversarial evals
  • Human oversight
  • Security hardening
  • Guardrails
  • Monitoring

Fast building does NOT remove production responsibility.


Final Thoughts

Google Agents CLI + Claude Code feels like an early glimpse into the future of AI product development.

For:

  • AI engineers
  • Startup founders
  • Automation builders
  • Developer tool creators

This workflow could meaningfully compress idea-to-production timelines.

Curious, if you had this workflow today, what real-world AI agent would you build first?

Customer support, sales automation, research assistants, internal ops, or something bigger?

The tooling is moving fast enough that execution may soon matter more than implementation complexity.

Would love to hear what others are building.
