You’ll explore Amazon Nova Act for reliable web navigation, Model Context Protocol (MCP) for connecting agents to external data sources and APIs, and Amazon Bedrock Agents for orchestrating complex workflows. Through guided exercises, you'll create agents capable of retrieving information and taking action across web applications, all through natural language interactions. By the end of this workshop, you'll have the practical skills to build AI agents that can browse websites, interact with web interfaces, and solve multi-step problems by combining these powerful Amazon technologies.
