Amazon Connect Customer now provides AI agent traces for self-service voice interactions, enabling you to understand how AI agents reason, act, and respond during each customer conversation. With this launch, you have full visibility into how the AI agent handled an interaction, so you can confirm what worked, diagnose issues, validate behavior, and deploy agentic experiences with confidence. For example, if your AI agent fails to resolve a customer request, you can access the step-by-step trace directly in the Connect web UI alongside the full transcript, and see whether it reasoned incorrect
