My comprehensive guide on building #AI #agents in #Java with the #ADK framework! ๐คโ
I've bundled everything you need to get started: my full article, the video recording at @devoxx.com, a codelab, the slides, an updated template project, and code samples, all in one place.

When implementing #RAG with hybrid search, there's an algorithm you might have heard about:
๐ฅ๐๐ (Reciprocal Rank Fusion)
It's a way to merge two search result lists with different rankings into one.
