Artificial Intelligence

Frontier teams are not just using AI to code faster. They’re redesigning how software gets built. The result is 4.5x productivity gains, in some cases more than 10x.

I’m excited to announce that AWS Security Agent on-demand penetration testing and AWS DevOps Agent are now generally available, representing a new class of AI capabilities we announced at re:Invent called frontier agents. These autonomous systems work independently to achieve goals, scale massively to tackle concurrent tasks, and run persistently for hours or days without constant human oversight. Together, these agents are changing the way we secure and operate software. In preview, customers and partners report that AWS Security Agent compresses penetration testing timelines from weeks to hours and the AWS DevOps Agent supports 3–5x faster incident resolution.

In this post, we explore how Rocket Close built a solution using Strands Agents, large language models (LLMs), Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. We cover solution features, the rationale for the technology stack, lessons learned, and the business impact at Rocket Close.

This post shows how to build a custom meeting prep and follow-up assistant using Amazon Quick and Cisco Webex MCP servers. From a single prompt, the agent finds an upcoming Webex meeting, reviews prior meeting summaries and transcripts, and pulls related Vidcast highlights and transcript context. It then searches Webex message threads for unresolved follow-ups and creates a concise prep brief. After the meeting, the same assistant can summarize the discussion and identify action items. It can also find related Vidcast updates and draft a follow-up message for the right Webex space.

This post outlines the development of a cost-effective and scalable intelligent document processing pipeline on AWS, powered by Amazon Bedrock and its features. BDA is a managed service within Amazon Bedrock that automates the extraction of insights from documents. We demonstrate how BDA extracts and analyzes document content, while Strands Agent hosted on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime coordinate specialized processing tasks, and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base enable contextual understanding across multiple documents. By combining these capabilities within a unified architecture, organizations can transform their document processing workflows with minimal development effort.

AWS Professional Services (AWS ProServe) compressed engagement timelines from months to days, not by adding artificial intelligence (AI) tools to an existing process, but by fundamentally rebuilding how we deliver from the inside out. In this post, we share how AWS ProServe became a frontier team, the practices that enabled it, and what your engineering organization can take from our experience.

This post demonstrates an intelligent document processing pipeline that consists of both on-demand inference and batch inference options on Amazon Bedrock to enable the flexibility on the document processing time and cost.

Agent-EvalKit is an open-source toolkit (Apache 2.0) that makes this evaluation infrastructure available by integrating with AI coding assistants, including Claude Code, Kiro CLI, and Kilo Code. This post walks through how Agent-EvalKit works across its six evaluation phases, using a travel research agent built with the Strands Agents SDK and Amazon Bedrock as a running example.

Today, we’re excited to announce two new capabilities that make Quick Sight dashboards even more expressive and business-aligned: sparklines and custom sort for controls. In this post, we walk through both features, what they are, when to use them, and how to configure them, with real-world scenarios that bring them together in a practical, decision-ready dashboard.

Blueprint instruction optimization is a BDA feature that automatically refines your extraction instructions to address this challenge directly. You provide three to ten example documents with expected values, and BDA refines your blueprint instructions to improve accuracy in minutes, not weeks. No separate model fine-tuning is required.

By the end of this post, you can optimize your blueprints to improve accuracy, run the optimization workflow through the Amazon Bedrock console or the API, and apply best practices for selecting examples and ground truth.

Today, we’re announcing the Neuron Agentic Development capabilities: a collection of AI agents and skills that make this possible for developers building on AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia. In this post, we explain how the Neuron Agentic Development capabilities accelerate the kernel development workflow.
