Agentic AI systems are rapidly expanding beyond the digital world and into the physical, where AI agents perceive, reason, and act in real environments. As AI systems increasingly interact with the physical world through robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart infrastructure, a fundamental question emerges: how do we build agents that leverage massive cloud compute for complex reasoning while maintaining millisecond-level responsiveness for physical sensing and actuation?
This year has been transformative for agentic AI at AWS. We launched Strands Agents in May 2025, bringing a simple developer experience and model-driven approach to agent development. In July, we released version 1.0 with multi-agent orchestration capabilities and introduced Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to accelerate AI agents to production at scale. At re:Invent 2025, we expanded Strands with the TypeScript SDK, evaluations, bidirectional streaming for voice agents, and steering for guiding agents…
