AWS is trying to revive its lineup of agentic AI offerings while releasing new capabilities across Amazon Quick, Bedrock, AgentCore, and new security products.

While its AI products and services may be perceived as behind competitors such as Google and Microsoft and AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic, they illustrate a trend in which AI vendors are no longer focusing solely on building new tools but on addressing enterprises' concerns about building, deploying and securing agentic AI.

At its AWS AI Summit New York City conference on Wednesday, AWS introduced new capabilities across platforms such as Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, its platform for building, connecting and optimizing AI agents; Amazon Quick, its AI-powered assistant; Autonomous Agents; and new integrations with applications such as Adobe, Shopify, Smartsheet and Snowflake. The cloud giant also previewed a new service that helps agents map relationships across existing data into a knowledge graph. Beyond introducing new agentic capabilities, AWS focused on securing AI agents.
