Amazon Web Services joined the agentic AI frenzy in a big way this week, revealing at a New York City event Wednesday a host of services and tools dubbed Agentcore that let technologists build and deploy so-called AI agents capable of automating internal tasks while potentially overhauling the way consumers interact with online businesses too.

During the keynote, there was news about updates to EventBridge and the AWS Free Tier, as well as thoughts about how agentic AI is “upending the way software is built.”

Amazon.com CEO Andy Jassy's predictions that automation would cost jobs at the company have proven accurate at Amazon Web Services.

We understand around 100 jobs are at stake.

The news arrives at a time when employers are facing growing pressure to onboard AI agents -- and also a dizzying variety of options.

Basis, a leading technology agency specializing in full-stack software solutions and expert consulting, has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to advance customers' adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) technologies.

AgentCore-powered agents and other AI applications can keep their data in Amazon S3 Vectors, a new storage offering that also debuted at AWS Summit today. It’s optimized to store vectors, the mathematical structures in which neural networks encode their data. AWS says that the offering costs 90% less than alternative services.
