Key point

Genkit provides a middleware system that enhances the reliability and observability of AI agent applications.

Details

Genkit is a framework for building full-stack AI and agent applications that supports TypeScript, Go, Dart, and Python.

The middleware system runs a tool loop that repeats until the model's task is complete. Through composable hooks, you can implement key features such as:

  • Maximizing reliability through retries and fall-backs
  • Applying a human approval step before destructive tool calls
  • Achieving observability across every layer

Additionally, Genkit Developer lets you directly inspect, test, and debug the middleware execution process.
