🚀Just launched: Amazon Q, the most capable GenAI-powered assistant... is generally available today: Customers are using Q to transform how their teams get work done. When employees chat with Amazon Q, it provides immediate, relevant information and advice to help streamline tasks, speedup decision-making, and help spark creativity and innovation at work. . Early indications signal Amazon Q could help our customers’ employees become more than 80% more productive at their jobs; and with the new features we’re planning on introducing in the future, we think this will only continue to grow. 🟠 Amazon Q Developer allows developers to spend more time coding and less time on maintenance and performing other tedious, repetitive tasks. Q assists developers and IT professionals (IT pros) with all of their tasks—from coding, testing, and upgrading applications, to troubleshooting, performing security scanning and fixes, and optimizing AWS resources. Q also comes with Q Developer Agents which can autonomously perform range of tasks and we expect it to be the state of the art accuracy in benchmarks like SWE-Bench. 🟠 Amazon Q Business empowers employees to be more data-driven, and helps customers make better, faster decisions using company knowledge and data. Q Business is a generative AI–powered assistant that can answer questions, provide summaries, generate content, and securely complete tasks based on data and information in enterprise systems 🟠 Amazon Q Apps, a new and powerful capability of Amazon Q Business, enables employees to use natural language to quickly and securely build their own generative AI applications to automate daily tasks without requiring any prior coding experience. Employees simply describe the type of app they want, in natural language, and Q Apps will quickly generate an app that accomplishes their desired task, helping them streamline and automate their daily work with ease and efficiency.show more

Remember when we as football fans had to rely... solely on paper draft guides, sports radio rumors, and gut feelings to predict draft day decisions? Excited that fans now have access to the NFL's Draft IQ powered by Amazon Web Services ( – the most sophisticated tool yet for following the NFL draft and your favorite team's strategy. Draft IQ is built on Amazon QuickSight, our cloud business intelligence service that makes it easy to analyze and visualize massive amounts of data. QuickSight processes real-time data to give fans unprecedented insight into team decision-making, updating the entire draft landscape every five minutes. You can explore team needs, draft capital, and front office tendencies through personalized team dashboards, plus get AWS-powered machine learning predictions about potential trades and picks. During draft week, fans can track picks, prospects, and Next Gen Stats in real-time. We're also introducing Amazon Q Business integration, our generative AI-powered assistant. Q Business leverages large language models to understand and respond to natural language queries, allowing fans to ask detailed questions about draft prospects, team strategies, and historical draft data. It can provide AI-generated insights based on the same historical Next Gen Stats research data that powers Draft IQ, giving fans a new way to engage with the draft experience (check out the example below). Can't wait to see what stories the data tells us as teams make their selections and excited to dig into the Giants' data myself :)show more

Today marks General Availability of AgentCore, a set of... infrastructure building blocks for developers and companies to build secure, scalable agents. When we first started AWS, the vast majority of developers were spending most of their time on the undifferentiated heavy lifting of infrastructure instead of what differentiated their feature. So, we solved that problem by building primitive building blocks like compute and storage and database that would allow teammates and customers to quickly build and deploy new experiences without having to reinvent the wheel each time. We realized the same thing was happening with AI agents. It's too difficult and it's slowing customers down. That's why we created AgentCore, a set of services to build, deploy, and operate highly capable agents using any framework or model, with enterprise-grade security and scalability. These building blocks (like serverless secure runtime, memory, observability, a gateway that does MCP translation, etc) help customers tackle some of the biggest challenges of going from prototype to production, much more quickly, securely, and scalably. AgentCore has been in preview for several weeks, and customers have been quite excited about it. The AgentCore SDK has already been downloaded over a million times and we're seeing transformative results, such as Cohere Health expecting to reduce medical review times by 30-40% in highly regulated healthcare, and teams at Cox Automotive and Experian are embracing its flexibility to deploy and operate agents at scale. Inside Amazon, our Amazon Devices Operations & Supply Chain team is using AgentCore to develop an agentic manufacturing approach where AI agents work together to automate manual processes – turning what used to be days of engineering time into processes that take under an hour with high precision. Just like AWS changed how companies build and scale applications, we believe AgentCore will do the same for AI agents, enabling the next generation of innovation.show more

🌠Today, we’re excited to relaunch Airtable as the AI-native... app platform, combining the magic of vibe coding business apps with real production-readiness and scalability, and embedding them with an army of agents that automate thousands of hours of work in seconds. Instead of just adding more AI capabilities to our existing platform, we treated this as a refounding moment for the company. We started with a clean-slate imagining of the ideal form factor for building apps in the agentic era.

Just tried Baidu’s new ERNIE X1.1 and wow… this... is actually impressive 🤯 I’ve been testing it on complex coding problems and math reasoning tasks, and the jump from earlier models is night and day. What stood out to me: ▪️ Much stronger at factual accuracy and instruction following ▪️ Handles agent-like tasks, tool use, and multi-step reasoning smoothly ▪️ Far fewer hallucinations compared to other reasoning-heavy models ▪️ Solid performance across creative writing, Q&A, coding, and math Benchmarks put ERNIE X1.1 ahead of DeepSeek R1-0528 and on par with GPT-5 & Gemini 2.5 Pro. If you’re into AI or reasoning models, it's definitely worth checking out: This doesn’t feel like just another release — it feels like a new standard for reasoning AI.show more

COMPANIES ARE STARTING TO REPLACE FINANCIAL WORK WITH AI... AGENTS. And this is probably one of the most advanced examples so far. Brex just launched its “Agentic Finance” system: → AI that approves expenses automatically → flags suspicious purchases or expenses before approving them → categorizes and reviews transactions in real time → automates accounting tasks and reporting → chases down receipts and documentation automatically → answers financial questions with AI → helps speed up the books close Most companies still manage their finances with: • PDFs and Excel • manual approvals • painfully slow processes • entire teams doing repetitive tasks With this kind of AI agent, companies can deliver faster services, with fewer errors and far less And very few companies yet understand how important that’s going to be. Great work, Brex Link below👇show more
