Build interactive PDF text extraction from Amazon S3

In this post, you’ll build a server that extracts text from PDF files in Amazon S3 in real time. This protocol-based approach provides programmatic document access. You’ll walk through the architecture, set up the server, and run interactive document queries. Along the way, you’ll compare this approach with Amazon Textract so you can decide which tool fits your workload.

Retrofit, don’t rebuild: Agentic overlays for transforming legacy enterprise services

In this technical collaboration between AWS and the authors, we present a pragmatic solution: agentic overlays. Agentic overlays are thin wrapper layers that transform traditional REST-based services into agents capable of participating in A2A interactions. They also expose REST APIs as tools compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Together, they let enterprises add A2A capabilities to existing REST services without rewriting business logic, without duplicating code, and without running parallel infrastructures. This reduces agent sprawl in the infrastructure by reusing existing services as agents. We provide reference architectures and sample code that show how to build agentic overlays.

Implementing super resolution by deploying SeedVR2 on Amazon SageMaker AI

In this post, we demonstrate how to implement video upscaling using SeedVR2 on SageMaker AI. We cover the solution architecture, walk through the deployment steps, and show performance comparisons that highlight the quality improvements and processing efficiency you can achieve. By the end of this post, you’ll have the practical knowledge needed to implement this super resolution solution.

Building agentic AI applications with a modern data mesh strategy on AWS

This post shows how to build a governed, serverless data mesh on AWS that provides the secure, scalable data foundation production agentic AI requires.

Build a protein research copilot with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This post shows you how to build a conversational protein research assistant that combines three capabilities: Natural language query parsing to extract structured search parameters, vector similarity search over protein embeddings using a specialized language model and ai-generated scientific summaries of search results.

Running ComfyUI workflows on Amazon SageMaker AI processing jobs

In this post, we walk you through how to deploy ComfyUI workflows on Amazon SageMaker AI processing jobs to generate hundreds of high-quality images in a single batch. You learn how to set up the infrastructure using AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK), configure GPU-accelerated processing, and automate image generation at scale. You can then adapt this solution to your ComfyUI workflows specific to your needs. We will guide you through a practical, step-by-step process to automate ComfyUI workflows to generate hundreds of high-quality images in a single batch empowering you to scale your creative pipeline.

Parallelize speculative decoding with P-EAGLE on Amazon SageMaker AI

This post walks you through how to use P-EAGLE directly within Amazon SageMaker AI. It will demonstrate how to select a compatible model from the SageMaker JumpStart catalog, configure the parallel drafting specifications, and deploy a highly optimized real-time SageMaker AI endpoint to accelerate your generative AI applications.

AI Agent Failure Detection and Root Cause Analysis with Strands Evals

In this post, we walk you through calling the detector functions to diagnose real agent failures. You learn how to interpret their structured output: categorized failures with confidence scores, causal chains linking root causes to downstream symptoms, and fix recommendations specifying whether a change belongs in your system prompt or tool definitions. You also learn how to integrate detection into your evaluation pipeline for automated diagnosis on every test run.
