AgentCore Offering Overview
This video provides a brief overview of the free AgentCore offering, as well as an explanation of AgentCore.
Skip the learning curve and deploy a fully-functional AI agent directly into your AWS account with a few clicks. This AgentCore template includes everything needed to start building production agent workflows immediately, and our comprehensive deployment guide and video make the setup easy.
The deployment provides a working agent powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5. The base package includes agent memory and built-in tools for web search, code execution, and guardrails. The agent can easily be extended to incorporate additional tools like knowledge bases, MCP servers, and observability (instructions included).
Non-technical users can experiment with agent behavior through the AWS Agent sandbox web interface by simply adjusting prompts, and we provide sample prompts for testing all of the base agent use cases. Technical teams get a production-grade foundation built on infrastructure-as-code principles, complete with DynamoDB conversation memory, Lambda functions, and API Gateway integration.
The starter pack currently supports the Strands agent framework. LangGraph and CrewAI are supported by the AgentCore product and are coming soon to this Starter Pack. All infrastructure deploys via CloudFormation, giving you rapid deployment and full visibility and control.
The included deployment guide and free training video help you customize the base template for your specific use case, including adding a knowledge base and setting up observability through AWS Services or Langfuse.
Included in this product:
- Open source code repo
- Scalable architecture
- Agent memory
- Web browser tooling
- Code interpreter tooling
- Base guardrails (customizable)
- Instructions for setting up a custom knowledge base
- Instructions for observability setup (ADOT or Langfuse)
- Sample code for connecting to MCP
- Instructions for AWS testing in the AWS console
- Sample notebook for advanced testing
- Complete agent schema documentation
Why we built this: Our team has deployed many production agents, and moving from proof-of-concept to production can be a complex process. Builders need to:
- Package the agent
- Manage short and long term memory
- Manage Inbound and Outbound Access
- Connect the agent to tools, ideally in a standard format
- Set up robust monitoring on the agent process
- And more, like knowledge bases, MCP, and systems integration
We set out to help companies deploy agents faster. Our team has scoured the web and AWS resources to pull together everything you need for an AI agent that's built to scale. The essential building blocks and instructions are all included in this starter pack so you can get building and scale faster.
Need more agentic tools? If you need support with additional agentic tools like custom MCP servers, access rules, or more, our team is here to help. We specialize in AL and ML workloads and can help you build for success.
Highlights
- CloudFormation deployment with Claude Haiku 4.5 (adjustable), memory, web search, and code interpreter pre-configured (plus instructions for knowledge base and observability setup)
- Complete AWS console testing instructions for non-technical users to easily test and modify agent behavior (plus technical notebook for advanced testing)
- Open-source project with production-ready infrastructure that includes conversation memory, multiple framework support (Strands included, LangGraph and CrewAI supported in AgentCore)

Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

Customer reviews
AI foundation has accelerated deployment of internal knowledge agents on existing cloud infrastructure
What is our primary use case?
I am exploring creating AI agents for multiple internal company knowledge repositories.
How has it helped my organization?
This product significantly accelerated our ability to deploy an AI agent within our AWS infrastructure.
What is most valuable?
Instead of spending time designing architecture, wiring up memory, guardrails, and tool integrations, I was able to establish an AI foundation in a matter of hours.
What needs improvement?
It would be nice to be able to run the CloudFormation stacks in other AWS regions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used the solution for the past week.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have experimented with many GPT-style agents, but Tech 42's AI pack provides a significant number of additional features.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is no upfront cost for the product, and expenses are limited to pay-as-you-go AWS infrastructure and AI model consumption.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We tried out Amazon Q but found this Tech 42's product to be much easier to get off the ground with.
What other advice do I have?
I suggest trying it out because it's a great product. It is very easy to get running, and the test examples they provide on their Github repo are great.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
