What you need to know about Amazon Nova Act: the new AI agent SDK challenging OpenAI, Microsoft, Salesforce
1 min read
Summary
Amazon has launched an experimental AI developer kit called Nova Act, which allows users to create AI web browsing agents.
The kit is powered by Amazon’s own large language models (LLMs) and is aimed at developers who want to create web-based automation agents that use natural language prompts.
Amazon claims the agents are reliable and execute tasks more successfully than competitors, scoring 90% on internal tests.
Nova Act’s SDK is open source, but it is designed to work with Amazon’s Nova model only and not with those of third parties.
Amazon wants Nova Act to become the go-to platform for developers, with its long-term vision being an AI agent that can do anything a user wants on a computer.
The kit is currently free for experimentation and prototyping, but Amazon will likely introduce usage-based billing at a later date.
