2. Platform Selection: Agent Designer, CES & The ADK Bridge (Module 1.2)
Choose between turnkey low-code studio builders (Agent Designer with identity-aware Agent Search ACLs and Customer Engagement Suite) and code-first development (ADK), or bridge prototypes across both via A2A.
3. CES Hybrid Flows, Generative Playbooks & Omnichannel Voice/Chat (Module 1.3)
Combine goal-driven Generative Playbooks (steered by Exemplars) with strict Deterministic Flows, voice telephony (barge-in, SSML, redacted DTMF), and warm live-agent handoffs with AI transcript summaries.
