What it covers
AI that works inside the product, with people in control.
Our validated work is production AI: agents that act through the same tools as the product, answers grounded in each customer's own data, and a person approving anything consequential.
Agents on AgentCore
Agents that act through a defined set of tools, with an isolated session per user.
Grounded and guarded
Answers grounded in the customer's own data, with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails on content.
People approve
Ledger changes, assessments and refunds wait for a person, not the model.
Measured in production
Acceptance, accuracy and response times tracked from real use.
