AWS Step Functions now enables you to add AI agent reasoning steps to your workflow through an optimized integration with the managed harness (currently in preview) in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. AWS Step Functions is a visual workflow service that orchestrates AWS services with built-in error handling, parallel execution, and human approval steps. The AgentCore harness lets you declare an agent through configuration where you specify the model, tools, and behavior. AgentCore provides the managed environment that runs the agent loop end-to-end. With this integration, you can automate reasoning t
The rapid development and maturation of large language models and agentic frameworks are driving cloud providers to integrate these capabilities directly into their workflow orchestration services.
This integration signifies a major step towards making AI agents more accessible and operational within enterprise workflows, potentially automating significant portions of white-collar tasks.
Developers can now directly embed sophisticated AI reasoning steps within their serverless workflows using AWS Step Functions, streamlining the deployment and management of agentic systems.
