AI Agents

Amazon Nova Act, AWS's browser-based AI agent service, now qualifies as HIPAA eligible, allowing healthcare organizations to deploy autonomous agents for workflows involving electronically protected health information. The service automates repetitive browser tasks including claims processing, referral coordination, and prior authorization.

AWS has launched Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a serverless runtime environment for deploying production AI agents. Turkish fulfillment company OPLOG demonstrated the platform's capabilities by building three business intelligence agents using Anthropic's Claude Sonnet, achieving a 35% reduction in sales cycles and 98% reduction in manual research time.

Google announced Gemini Spark, a cloud-based AI agent that runs 24/7 across Gmail, Drive, and 30+ external partners, powered by the upcoming Gemini 3.5 Flash model. The company claims the new model is four times faster and costs less than half of competing frontier models, directly responding to OpenClaw's viral success since November 2025.

Google announced information agents at I/O 2025, AI systems that run continuously in the background to track topics like stock prices, flight costs, and breaking news. The feature launches this summer for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S., expanding to additional markets later.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser now supports Chrome enterprise policies and custom root CA certificates, giving organizations control over 450+ browser settings for AI agents. The feature enables URL filtering, download restrictions, password manager controls, and connectivity to internal services through custom certificate authorities.

AWS announced OS Level Actions for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser, extending agent automation beyond the browser's Document Object Model to interact with native operating system UI. The feature enables agents to control system dialogs, security prompts, and context menus through direct mouse and keyboard commands at the OS level.

Amazon Web Services released AgentCore Optimization in preview, introducing an automated performance loop that generates configuration recommendations from production traces, validates them through batch evaluation and A/B testing, and enables continuous agent optimization. The system targets the quality drift problem where AI agents degrade as models evolve and user behavior shifts.

AWS has released support for custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) proxies on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, allowing organizations to implement custom governance and security controls on AI agent tool interactions without modifying upstream MCP servers. The serverless proxy runs on AgentCore Runtime with automatic scaling and built-in observability through CloudWatch and OpenTelemetry.

OpenAI has released a major update to its Agents SDK that adds native sandbox support for running AI agents in isolated environments. The framework bundles Model Context Protocol tool usage, code execution, file editing, and custom instructions, with support for sandbox providers including Cloudflare, Vercel, E2B, and Modal.
