How to power your Agentic Product using Agent Harness in a Managed Environment

Every artificial intelligence (AI) agent necessitates a foundational structure, encompassing tools for interaction, a runtime environment, a context management system, memory for personalized interactions, an identity for access control, and observability for monitoring and debugging. The agent harness encapsulates these components, orchestrating LLM calls, selecting appropriate tools, and recovering from failures. This session will demonstrate how to build Agent Harness in Strands Agents or build agentic applications using the managed agent harness in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (public preview), where the development of the harness infrastructure from scratch is not required. Additionally, the meetup will feature three sessions, each lasting 20 minutes.

1. Building Agent Harness in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore (public preview) - presented by Alexander Richey from Agentic AI Foundation, AWS

2. Deploying a Strands agent on Datadog’s Dispatch Agents - presented by Shah Ahmed (Product Manager) from DataDog

3. Building Agentic application powered by Agent Harness using Strands Agents SDK – presented by Jonathan Segev from Agentic AI Foundation, AWS
