Build a healthcare appointment agent with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic

In this post, you will learn how to build a voice agent that handles appointment reminder conversations using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The agent authenticates patients by voice, manages appointments (confirm, cancel, or reschedule), collects pre-visit health information, and escalates to human staff when needed. You handle routine calls at scale, which can help reduce no-show rates. This sample focuses on the agentic side of the problem: voice conversation and tool orchestration. A browser-based interface is included for testing. To connect the agent to actual phone lines for outbound dialing, you would integrate a telephony service such as Amazon Connect Customer.

Build a protein research copilot with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This post shows you how to build a conversational protein research assistant that combines three capabilities: Natural language query parsing to extract structured search parameters, vector similarity search over protein embeddings using a specialized language model and ai-generated scientific summaries of search results.

Building pay-per-intelligence for AI agents: How Ampersend uses Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments

In this post, you will learn how Ampersend built a pay-per-intelligence routing layer on top of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments. AI agents autonomously route tasks to the most effective model, pay per request, and operate within spending budgets. You will also see how the two-hop payment pattern works end-to-end and how to get started with your own implementation.

Embed the world: Multimodal AI for searchable aerial imagery at scale

In this post, we walk through the problem space, our architecture on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, the evaluation methodology we built on OpenStreetMap ground truth, four experiments that compared embedding models, fusion strategies, captioning, and search methods, and the practical guidance you can apply when building a similar system. You’ll learn which design choices move the needle for geospatial semantic search, including why Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings delivered the highest F1 scores across both benchmark queries in our evaluation. The work described here evolved into Vexcel Intelligence, a searchable imagery product.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness is now generally available: Go from idea to production-grade agent in minutes

Today, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness is generally available. Two API calls (CreateHarness to define an agent, and InvokeHarness to run it), and you have an agent running in seconds. The agent runs in its own isolated environment with a filesystem and shell, so it can read files, run commands, and write code safely. It remembers users and conversations across sessions, picks up skills you point it at (including the AWS-curated catalog), browses the web, calls your tools through gateway or MCP, and switches model providers mid-session without losing context. Every step streams back to you in real time and is automatically traced to Amazon CloudWatch. You don’t need to write orchestration code or build a container, unless you want to.

New in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: Build agents with broader knowledge and continuous learning

New in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: Build agents with broader knowledge and continuous learning

Today we’re introducing new capabilities on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, the platform to build, connect, and optimize agents. In this post, we cover how these capabilities close each gap: connecting agents to organizational, web, and paid knowledge; helping teams find and fix what’s going wrong in production; and enforcing controls that scale as agents grow more capable. Together, they help you build more capable agents faster, govern them with controls that scale, and improve them continuously.

Safeguard your agentic AI applications with the Amazon Bedrock Guardrails InvokeGuardrailChecks API

Today, we’re announcing a new API with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. With this API, you can apply individual safeguards, also referred to as safety checks, at any point in your agentic AI applications without creating guardrail resources. In this post, we walk through how the InvokeGuardrailChecks API works and how to use it to build safe, multi-turn agentic AI applications.
