Picture this: a compliance officer needs a specific clause during an audit, an attorney needs contract terms while a client waits on the phone, or a finance analyst needs numbers from last quarter’s report before a meeting that starts in 10 minutes. In each case, waiting for a scheduled job to finish is not practical. …

As enterprises scale autonomous AI agents into production, enabling safe innovation requires robust architectural guardrails. AI agents connect across tools and datasets, so it’s essential to establish clear network-level boundaries for comprehensive data protection. To help organizations confidently deploy these workflows, we recommend VPC Service Controls (VPC-SC) to establish an essential network-level, destination-based perimeter. Today …

The opinions expressed in this post are the authors’ views and not those of Cisco. Enterprise architectures have long been centered on REST APIs and microservices. These systems are stable, well-tested, and deeply embedded in production environments. They weren’t designed for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication, the emerging standard for autonomous agents that collaborate, reason, and coordinate …

When your document repository contains hundreds of millions of files accumulated over nearly a decade, how do you systematically find and redact sensitive customer data without taking years to complete? This was the challenge facing The Huntington National Bank (Huntington), a top 10 bank in the United States. Redacting sensitive information at scale Since 2015, …

Protein researchers face a time-consuming challenge: manually searching through thousands of peptide sequences to find structurally similar candidates is slow, error-prone, and requires deep domain expertise to interpret results. Building a protein research copilot can transform how researchers search for structurally similar peptides across large datasets — enabling natural language queries, automated embedding generation, and …

This post was co-written with Kevin Jones from Ampersend (Edge & Node) and Chethan Shriyan from the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments team. Ampersend and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments are addressing one of the hardest problems in agentic AI. How do autonomous agents pay for services without developers building bespoke billing integrations, credential management, and payment …
Turning a library of aerial imagery into a natural-language-searchable knowledge base is a problem that touches every industry that relies on geospatial data — insurance, real estate, government, infrastructure, and agriculture. The traditional path requires either manual tile-by-tile inspection or training a bespoke computer vision model for each new question. Multimodal embeddings, large language model …

AI agents are changing how organizations find and act on information, but they share one structural limitation: their knowledge is frozen at training time. When you ask an agent that relies only on its training data about today’s stock price, a sports score, or a release that shipped an hour ago, it can’t respond. Web …
