Amazon has launched Nova Act, an AI agent toolkit designed to automate workflows by enabling AI agents to perform tasks autonomously within web browsers. The toolkit includes the Nova Act SDK, which helps developers break down complex processes into manageable commands. This allows the agents to handle tasks such as web searching, payment processing, and answering questions based on on-screen content. The release of Nova Act represents Amazon's entry into the growing field of AI agents, which some industry observers consider a potential growth frontier for AI, with implications for automating white-collar jobs.
Developers can use the Nova Act SDK to build AI agents capable of completing step-by-step tasks in a browser, like submitting time-off requests or placing recurring online orders, without relying on APIs. The toolkit also enables developers to add detailed instructions to improve task reliability and integrate API calls. Amazon aims to make its AI models more accessible to developers and tech enthusiasts, positioning Nova Act as a way to explore the capabilities of Amazon Nova and inspire builders to test and implement ideas at scale in Amazon Bedrock.
