Amazon has officially launched its new AI agent runtime platform, AgentCore, integrating it fully into Amazon Bedrock, marking the company’s strategic entry into the AI agent infrastructure space. The platform is designed to help enterprises rapidly build, deploy, and integrate AI agents into real-world business workflows. AgentCore supports a range of leading models and frameworks, including OpenAI, Gemini, and LangGraph, enabling developers to leverage familiar tools without starting from scratch. With AgentCore, developers gain access to a managed runtime environment, web application interfaces, API integration capabilities, and built-in storage and monitoring through Amazon CloudWatch. These features streamline the development and operationalization of AI agents, significantly reducing the complexity of building autonomous systems. The platform is now available across nine AWS regions and has already been adopted by several organizations. Early adopters include Sony, Ericsson, and Cohere Health, which are using AgentCore in manufacturing, telecommunications, and healthcare to develop enterprise-grade AI assistants and automated decision-making systems. Industry analysts note that AgentCore’s launch transforms Amazon Bedrock from a model hosting and inference platform into a full-stack AI application layer. This move positions Amazon directly against competing platforms such as Microsoft’s Azure AI Studio and Google’s Vertex AI, intensifying the race to dominate the next generation of AI infrastructure.
