Ready to scale your generative AI workloads to a new level? Join us LIVE on Twitch Tuesday, September 9th @ 2pm PST/5pm PST to hear our host Stephen Heverin (Sr. Technical Account Manager) speak with series regular Raj Sampathkumar (Principal Technical Account Manager) about the power of AI Strands Agents and how you can harness this power for yourself within Amazon Q. The Strands Agents SDK is an open source framework designed to simplify the creation of robust LLM-powered AI agents. Rather than requiring developers to handcraft complex workflows, Strands embraces a model-driven approach centered around three key components: a language model, a system prompt, and a set of tools. This architecture empowers the LLM to perform the crucial reasoning, autonomously deciding the optimal actions and when to use tools based on the current context and task. This model-driven design allows agents to be flexible, intelligent, and autonomous, while minimizing the boilerplate code typically needed to support multi-step or multi-agent interactions. Its effectiveness is already proven – Strands is actively used in production by multiple AWS teams for their AI agents in production, including Kiro, Amazon Q, and AWS Glue.
