AWS has unveiled Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a new platform for building, managing, and deploying enterprise-grade AI agents, alongside an AI Agents Marketplace offering over 800 agentic solutions. The twin announcements, made at the AWS Summit in New York, mark a major push by Amazon into the emerging AI agent economy, designed to help businesses automate workflows and boost productivity.
đ§ Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: An End-to-End Agent Platform
The new AgentCore platform allows developers and enterprises to build autonomous AI agents with plug-and-play components for orchestration, memory, identity, browsing, API access, code execution, and monitoring. The system supports open standards like MCP and agent-to-agent protocols, enabling seamless integration with enterprise tools and systems.
By bundling all the necessary components in a single managed platform, AWS aims to shorten the time between experimentation and production deployment.
đ AI Agents Marketplace: A One-Stop Shop for Agent Solutions
Launching alongside AgentCore is the AI Agents Marketplace, where businesses can discover, purchase, and deploy pre-built agents from more than 800 available solutions. Early partners include Anthropic, Perplexity, and other innovators, providing agents for customer support, workflow automation, knowledge management, and more.
The marketplace also opens up revenue opportunities for AWS partners, who can list and sell their own agents to enterprise customers.
đ Positioning AWS at the Center of the Agent Economy
With AI-powered agents increasingly seen as the next frontier of enterprise productivity, AWS is positioning itself to lead this shift. The company previously introduced Nova Act, a browser-based autonomous agent model, and Kiro, an AI-powered IDE for software development â part of a growing suite of agentic AI offerings.
Competitors like Google Cloud and Microsoft have also launched agent marketplaces, but AWSâs integrated platform and partner-friendly approach aim to set it apart.
Bottom line: AWSâs launch of Bedrock AgentCore and the AI Agents Marketplace marks a major milestone in enterprise AI, giving businesses the tools and ecosystem to quickly build and deploy powerful autonomous agents at scale.
