Developers requiring a solution to build, customize, and deploy intelligent agents capable of complex reasoning and tool integration
About Strands Agents
Strands Agents is a lightweight, code-first framework for building AI agents, designed to simplify agent development by leveraging the reasoning capabilities of modern language models. Developers can create agents with just a few lines of Python code, defining a prompt and a list of tools, allowing the agent to autonomously execute complex tasks. It supports multiple model providers, including Amazon Bedrock (defaulting to Claude 3.7 Sonnet), Anthropic, OpenAI, and more, offering flexibility in model selection. Strands Agents features a customizable agent loop that processes user input, decides on tool usage, executes tools, and generates responses, supporting both streaming and non-streaming interactions. Built-in tools and the ability to add custom tools enable agents to perform a wide range of actions beyond simple text generation.

kagent
kagent is an open source, cloud-native AI agent framework designed to let teams build, deploy, and run autonomous AI agents directly inside Kubernetes clusters to automate complex operational tasks, troubleshoot cloud-native systems, and manage workloads without constant human intervention. It enables DevOps and platform engineers to create intelligent agents that understand natural language, plan, reason, and execute multi-step actions across Kubernetes environments using built-in tools and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible tool integrations for functions like querying metrics, displaying pod logs, managing resources, and interacting with service meshes. It supports multiple model providers (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and others), agent-to-agent communication for orchestrating sophisticated workflows, and observability features that help teams monitor agent behavior and performance.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore enables you to deploy and operate highly capable AI agents securely at scale, offering infrastructure purpose‑built for dynamic agent workloads, powerful tools to enhance agents, and essential controls for real‑world deployment. It works with any framework and any foundation model in or outside of Amazon Bedrock, eliminating the undifferentiated heavy lifting of specialized infrastructure. AgentCore provides complete session isolation and industry‑leading support for long‑running workloads up to eight hours, with native integration to existing identity providers for seamless authentication and permission delegation. A gateway transforms APIs into agent‑ready tools with minimal code, and built‑in memory maintains context across interactions. Agents gain a secure browser runtime for complex web‑based workflows and a sandboxed code interpreter for tasks like generating visualizations.

Agent Builder
Agent Builder is part of OpenAI’s tooling for constructing agentic applications, systems that use large language models to perform multi-step tasks autonomously, with governance, tool integration, memory, orchestration, and observability baked in. The platform offers a composable set of primitives—models, tools, memory/state, guardrails, and workflow orchestration- that developers assemble into agents capable of deciding when to call a tool, when to act, and when to halt and hand off control. OpenAI provides a new Responses API that combines chat capabilities with built-in tool use, along with an Agents SDK (Python, JS/TS) that abstracts the control loop, supports guardrail enforcement (validations on inputs/outputs), handoffs between agents, session management, and tracing of agent executions. Agents can be augmented with built-in tools like web search, file search, or computer use, or custom function-calling tools.
