Four domain-specialist agents on Bedrock AgentCore draft one integrated specification, catch a cross-domain conflict between their own outputs, and hand it to a human to resolve. A concrete look at what multi-agent actually means when the agents have to agree.

A two-day hackathon build where a humanoid walks an inspection route, captures imagery, and an agent on Bedrock checks each assembly against its bill of materials. What the cloud pipeline looked like, and what a hackathon proves versus what it doesn't.

AWS quietly shipped two open-source answers to two different agent problems. I deployed both, wired them together, then tried to break the architecture. Here is what holds, what doesn't, and the pattern for letting customers 'create agents' without losing governance.

Mem0, Letta, Zep, graph-RAG, Neptune Memory, HiveMemory, Obsidian steering files -- the agent memory space is fragmenting faster than it's converging. Here's a landscape analysis of why no single solution wins, the four types of memory agents actually need, and a decision framework for choosing your architecture.

AWS released the Agent Toolkit for AWS on May 6, 2026 -- a managed MCP server exposing the full AWS API surface to autonomous agents. I shipped an infrastructure agent the same week. Here's the two-phase safety pattern that lets you hand an agent the keys to your account without waking up to a $10K bill.

Most RAG tutorials stop at 'put vectors in a database.' This post covers what actually determines quality: how you chunk documents, which vector search engine to pick, and how to measure and iterate on retrieval performance using Bedrock Knowledge Bases and LLM-as-judge evaluation.
