|

|
|
|
designed for testing and experimentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow these steps to get the agent up and running:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Start the ADK Web Server**
|
|
|
|
|
Open your terminal, navigate to the root directory that contains the
|
|
|
|
|
`live_bidi_streaming_agent` folder, and execute the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
adk web
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Access the ADK Web UI**
|
|
|
|
|
Once the server is running, open your web browser and navigate to the URL
|
|
|
|
|
provided in the terminal (it will typically be `http://localhost:8000`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Select the Agent**
|
|
|
|
|
In the top-left corner of the ADK Web UI, use the dropdown menu to select
|
|
|
|
|
this agent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Start Streaming**
|
|
|
|
|
Click on either the **Audio** or **Video** icon located near the chat input
|
|
|
|
|
box to begin the streaming session.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. **Interact with the Agent**
|
|
|
|
|
You can now begin talking to the agent, and it will respond in real-time.
|
|
|
|

|
## Usage Notes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* You only need to click the **Audio** or **Video** button once to initiate the
|
|
|
|
|
stream. The current version does not support stopping and restarting the stream
|
|
|
|
|
by clicking the button again during a session.
