How can you use the power of agentic AI but give yourself a more deterministic (or consistent) output? In this post, we show you how Agent SOPs work and explain how you can use them in your agentic workloads.

Monitoring agricultural practices across Canada’s vast landscape is essential for preserving soil health and water quality. To address this challenge at scale, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) collaborated with AWS to build a cloud-based proof of concept (PoC) solution that processes synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery, which can detect changes in agricultural land use and tillage practices.

When a hurricane makes landfall or a power outage takes servers offline, government operations don’t get a pause button. CentralSquare Technologies, North America’s leading public sector software provider, saw an opportunity to change that.

Teams from AWS, working with Sentient Industries, brought the power of AI directly into Excel spreadsheets. Logistics officers can now type the device description in Excel and have the power specs retrieved from a knowledge base in Amazon Bedrock. Unlike a chat-based solution, the AI directly loads the data into spreadsheet cells, creating a streamlined and efficient user workflow. The AI meets the users where they are, and this capability is now being commercialized by Sentient. Read this post to learn more.

Learn how Seesaw worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to build an AI-powered reading assessment tool using Amazon Transcribe, and how it has supported teachers at Vacaville Unified School District (VUSD) in northern California.

Read this post to learn how the City of Virginia Beach worked with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to modernize its Emergency Communications and Citizen Services (ECCS) using Amazon Connect, introducing AI capabilities that help serve citizens faster and reduce dispatcher workloads.

In this post, we explore how the intuitive interface, collaborative features, and diverse learning modalities of PartyRock make it an ideal tool for educators who want to support AI literacy goals while accommodating different learning styles and technical backgrounds.

Working with AWS, a three-person Boise State University team built boisestate.ai, a custom AI platform, in just six months. The solution gives the entire campus access to multiple models while cutting per-user costs by more than 80%. Read this post to learn more.

The AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program makes high-value, cloud-optimized datasets publicly available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available to the public for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-based techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program, customers are making over 300 PB of high-value, cloud-optimized data available for public use.

It’s a challenge to modernize vast public datasets to meet new and evolving uses. Epimorphics, an AWS Partner, supports government agencies to deliver big data projects efficiently. Government data underpins many important public policy decisions and private sector investments. For example, house price indices influence mortgage lending, and river flow measurements guide flood planning. The data for this vital work must be authoritative, accessible, and available digitally.
