    Google Developers Blog publishes ADK voice agent tutorial: using streaming tools to eliminate silence

    Google Developers Blog published a step-by-step tutorial on how to build a voice agent with ADK and gemini-3.8-live that does not stay silent for long periods. The core approach is to change tool functions from return to yield to make them streaming tools, or to use FunctionTool's response_scheduling to deliver results when idle; in the sales report benchmark flow, the agent's time to first speech dropped from 14.4 seconds to 1.2 seconds. The tutorial also covers the stop_streaming cancellation mechanism, preventing duplicate calls, and the trade-offs among the three scheduling modes WHEN_IDLE, INTERRUPT, and SILENT. It requires google-adk >= 2.10.0 and uses run_live bidirectional sessions.
