What's Good
Apache-2.0 (firebase/genkit). SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, and Python. Structured output, tool calling, flows, local Developer UI/CLI. Providers include Google GenAI, OpenAI, Ollama, and more. Ship to Firebase, Cloud Run, or your own host. Docs at genkit.dev.
The Catch
Vs Vercel AI SDK (TS app AI primitives) and Google ADK (agent build/eval/deploy kit): Genkit is Firebase-shaped full-stack AI/agent flows, not a multi-agent research OS and not a coding CLI. Firebase/GCP paths may bill when you leave local — OSS core still runs without Google Cloud if you stay self-hosted/BYO providers.
Verdict
Apache-2.0 Firebase/Google AI app framework. Agentic flows in code; watch GCP meters in prod.
