Captain Cool — How I built a multi-agent IPL strategist with Gemini & ADK in one sitting
The article describes the creation of a multi-agent AI system named 'Captain Cool' designed to simulate strategic decision-making in IPL cricket matches using Google's Gemini and the ADK framework. Five specialized AI agents sequentially analyze match data, debate bowling choices, and arrive at a final recommendation, mimicking a real captain's decision process. The system was developed as part of a developer challenge and emphasizes structured agent interaction over simple chat-based responses.
- ▪The system uses five Gemini-powered agents in a sequential workflow to simulate a cricket captain's strategic thinking.
- ▪Each agent has a distinct role, including stats analysis, pitch reading, strategy proposal, challenge, and commentary.
- ▪The agents operate within a structured pipeline using ADK's SequentialAgent, ensuring consistent and transparent decision-making.
- ▪Output from earlier agents is passed to later ones via prompt templates, enabling informed and contextualized reasoning.
- ▪The project was submitted to the Agentic Premier League hackathon and relies on Google's AI tools including Gemini and AI Studio.
