This sample composes three short, single-purpose live (voice) agents into a graph-based workflow:

1. greeter_agent — greets and confirms the caller's name.
2. dob_verifier_agent — captures and validates the caller's date of birth (using the validate_date_of_birth tool).
3. goals_agent — once identity is verified, delivers the call goals and wraps up the conversation.

Each stage runs in mode='task' and hands a typed result to the next (GreeterOutput, DobOutput). The stages are wired directly into the workflow's edges, so the framework runs them in order.

• Hi, yes, this is John Doe

  Confirms identity so greeter_agent can complete and hand off.

• My date of birth is July 12th, 1985

  Triggers validate_date_of_birth in dob_verifier_agent; this DOB matches the mocked record and verifies the caller.

• No, no other questions. Thanks!

  Lets goals_agent wrap up the call and end with "Goodbye.".

    dob_verifier_agent --> goals_agent

1. Sequence live agents with mode='task': Each stage is an Agent set to mode='task', so it runs its own turn-taking loop and completes before the next stage begins. Because the agents use a live model (gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio), the whole workflow runs as a voice conversation.

2. Pass typed handoffs between stages: Give each stage an output_schema (e.g. GreeterOutput, DobOutput) so its result is a validated, typed value that the next stage receives as input.

3. Sequence the stages directly in edges: Wire the agents into the Workflow edges in order; no routing functions are needed for a linear flow:

   root_agent = Workflow(
       name='workflow',
       edges=[
           (START, greeter_agent),
           (greeter_agent, dob_verifier_agent),
           (dob_verifier_agent, goals_agent),
       ],
   )

4. Run the agent with the ADK web interface and start a Live Session:

   uv run adk web contributing/samples/live/workflow

5. Evaluate the workflow in live mode: test_config.json and workflow.evalset.json score the workflow with an llm_audio user simulator that adapts to each stage instead of following a fixed script.

   1. Install the eval extra: uv pip install -e ".[eval]".
   2. Add a .env in this directory with Vertex AI credentials (see single_agent/.env). The project needs access to both the Live API and Gemini TTS models.
   3. Run the eval:

      uv run adk eval \
        contributing/samples/live/workflow \
        contributing/samples/live/workflow/workflow.evalset.json \
        --config_file_path contributing/samples/live/workflow/test_config.json
