Join us for an engaging session on AI Agents and Tools in AWS, where well explore how to build intelligent, autonomous systems using Amazon Bedrock and open-source frameworks. Learn about function calling, ReAct patterns, and AWSs comprehensive agent platforms. Well dive into practical demonstrations using Strands and CrewAI, and discover how to leverage protocols like MCP and A2A for seamless tool integration and agent collaboration. Perfect for developers looking to create production-ready AI solutions.
What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Function calling, ReAct patterns, Strands, CrewAI, MCP, A2A protocols. Foundational concepts.
Why it matters
Pattern proliferation is confusing. Most teams pick one and over-rotate without seeing alternatives.
The hard parts
Choosing among framework options. Each has its own assumptions, limitations, ecosystem.
Playbook moves
(1) Pick one orchestration framework and master it before evaluating alternatives. (2) Pattern hopping costs months. (3) Document why you chose what you chose; future you will need that.
The surprise
ReAct (reasoning + acting) is the boring default that beats fancy multi-agent topologies for many tasks. Don't overcomplicate when ReAct will do. Most "we need multi-agent" assertions don't survive a careful look at whether ReAct would suffice.
