# Why T3 ADK?

> Give AI agents real-world capabilities without compromising user privacy, security and compliance

T3 Agent Developer Kit (ADK) helps developers build AI agents that can securely identify themselves, access user-authorized data, and perform real-world actions on behalf of users—without exposing sensitive information to the model, application, or agent runtime.

With the ADK, developers can:

* **Build faster** using pre-built infrastructure for identity, confidential computing, secure data access, and agent governance.
* **Protect user privacy by design** by keeping sensitive data out of prompts, context windows, and application servers.
* **Reduce compliance burden** with architecture designed to support privacy and regulatory requirements such as GDPR.
* **Enable trusted agent actions** including transactions, approvals, and interactions with external services using verifiable permissions and auditability.
* **Connect to a network of users and agents** through portable identities and verifiable credentials that work across applications and ecosystems.
