Genkit is a framework for building agentic AI applications that can perform tasks beyond simple question-answering. The tutorial demonstrates creating a Node.js backend with Genkit and Gemini that uses flows (main conversation processes) and tools (specific actions) to check order status. It covers setting up the project, defining tools with Zod schemas, creating flows that orchestrate AI interactions, and testing with Genkit's Developer UI. The example shows how to give AI models access to custom data and functions they weren't trained on.
