# deer-flow vs adk-python

deer-flow and adk-python share 7 technologies: FastAPI, aiosqlite, SQLite, starlette, uvicorn, cryptography, and jsonschema. Both are written in Python.

- [bytedance/deer-flow](https://seerepo.com/r/bytedance/deer-flow): An open-source long-horizon SuperAgent harness that researches, codes, and creates. With the help of sandboxes, memories, tools, skill, subagents and message gateway, it handles different levels of tasks that could take minutes to hours.
- [google/adk-python](https://seerepo.com/r/google/adk-python): An open-source, code-first Python toolkit for building, evaluating, and deploying sophisticated AI agents with flexibility and control.

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
