Section titled “Concept”Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is the foundation for running AI agents safely and at large scale. An AI agent is an AI program that plans by itself and uses various tools to finish a task. AgentCore gives a place to run the agent (runtime), a way to remember earlier conversations (memory) and the ability to use tools. It also handles the agent’s identity and permissions (identity) and watching what it is doing (observability). As a result, developers can focus on the agent’s logic and think less about infrastructure.
