Amazon Web Services unveiled an agentic AI system for streaming platforms combining Nova Sonic 2.0 (real-time speech model), Bedrock AgentCore, and the Model Context Protocol. The system delivers two core capabilities: context-aware movie recommendations based on mood and viewing history, and real-time scene analysis including actor identification and plot summaries.

Google has detailed AppFunctions, a system that allows Gemini to directly control and interact with Android applications, functioning similarly to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). The capability enables AI agents to automate tasks across the Android ecosystem by providing structured access to app functionality.
