1. Build AI-powered employee onboarding agents with Amazon Quick

   In this post, we walk through building a custom HR onboarding agent with Quick. We show how to configure an agent that understands your organization’s processes, connects to your HR systems, and automates common tasks, such as answering new-hire questions and tracking document completion.

2. Accelerate agentic tool calling with serverless model customization in Amazon SageMaker AI

   In this post, we walk through how we fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 7B Instruct for tool calling using RLVR. We cover dataset preparation across three distinct agent behaviors, reward function design with tiered scoring, training configuration and results interpretation, evaluation on held-out data with unseen tools, and deployment.

3. Building Intelligent Search with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch for hybrid RAG solutions

   In this post, we show how to implement a generative AI agentic assistant that uses both semantic and text-based search using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Strands Agents and Amazon OpenSearch.

4. From isolated alerts to contextual intelligence: Agentic maritime anomaly analysis with generative AI

   This blog post demonstrates how Windward helps enhance and accelerate alert investigation processes by combining geospatial intelligence with generative AI, enabling analysts to focus on decision-making rather than data collection.

5. Connecting MCP servers to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway using Authorization Code flow

   Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway provides a centralized layer for managing how AI agents connect to tools and MCP servers across your organization. In this post, we walk through how to configure AgentCore Gateway to connect to an OAuth-protected MCP server using the Authorization Code flow.

6. Simulate realistic users to evaluate multi-turn AI agents in Strands Evals

   In this post, we explore how ActorSimulator in Strands Evaluations SDK addresses the challenge with structured user simulation that integrates into your evaluation pipeline.

7. Scaling seismic foundation models on AWS: Distributed training with Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and expanding context windows

   This post describes how TGS achieved near-linear scaling for distributed training and expanded context windows for their Vision Transformer-based SFM using Amazon SageMaker HyperPod. This joint solution cut training time from 6 months to just 5 days while enabling analysis of seismic volumes larger than previously possible.

8. Control which domains your AI agents can access

   In this post, we show you how to configure AWS Network Firewall to restrict AgentCore resources to an allowlist of approved internet domains. This post focuses on domain-level filtering using SNI inspection — the first layer of a defense-in-depth approach.

9. Rocket Close transforms mortgage document processing with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Textract

   Through a strategic partnership with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center (GenAIIC), Rocket Close developed an intelligent document processing solution that has significantly reduced processing time, making the process 15 times faster. The solution, which uses Amazon Textract for OCR processing and Amazon Bedrock for foundation models (FMs), achieves a strong 90% overall accuracy in document...

10. Persist session state with filesystem configuration and execute shell commands

    In this post, we go through how to use managed session storage to persist your agent's filesystem state and how to execute shell commands directly in your agent's environment.
