Amazon
At AWS Summit New York (June 17–18, 2026), Amazon announced Bedrock AgentCore general availability with managed knowledge bases, native data connectors, Smart Parsing for multi-format documents, and built-in web search. Kiro — AWS's spec-driven agentic IDE — gained a native iOS app in gated preview for monitoring and steering agent sessions. AWS Context was previewed as a knowledge-graph service for agentic search. Additional launches included the AWS DevOps Agent for autonomous release testing and EC2 G7 instances with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
Why it matters
Bedrock AgentCore GA makes production agent orchestration accessible without writing custom loops. Kiro for iOS is an early signal of mobile-first agent oversight becoming a product category.
