Genkit AI (Firebase Genkit) is an open‑source, developer‑first framework for building AI‑powered features and multi‑step workflows into applications. It provides a unified API over many AI models, supports structured and type‑safe outputs via schemas, and makes it easy to orchestrate complex flows that include pre‑ and post‑processing, retrieval‑augmented generation, and tool calling.[3][4][7] Genkit offers a local developer UI with visual traces for debugging, prompt management, and evaluation tools, then deploys seamlessly to Firebase, Google Cloud, or any Node.js/Go/Python platform for production‑ready, scalable AI workflows.[2][3][5][9]
