Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched three new frontier AI agents -- Kiro autonomous agent, AWS Security Agent, and AWS DevOps Agent -- as it seeks to change how people build, secure and operate software.
"These agents represent a step-function change in what you can do with agents today, moving from assisting with individual tasks to completing complex projects autonomously like a member of your team," said AWS in a statement.
The Kiro agent has the ability to keep working independently as users focus on other priority tasks, it said. Besides, the agent can become a shared resource to work alongside the entire team, it added.
Its AWS Security Agent helps build applications that are secure from the start across AWS, multicloud, and hybrid environments, it said.
Andres Ruiz, staff software engineer at SmugMug, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for photographers, highlighted that AWS Security Agent helps catch a business logic bug. "To any other tool, this would have been invisible," added Ruiz.
The statement further explained that AWS DevOps Agent is like a virtual operations team member that helps resolve and proactively prevent incidents.
The statement noted that Clariant, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, SmugMug, Western Governors University, and Presidio are among the customers already using one or more of these new agents.
Global tech giants have been investing significantly in agentic AI capabilities.
However, studies about the flaws in agentic AI have also warned that we may still be some years away before we become highly reliant on it.
A Gartner report earlier this year said that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 on account of rising costs, unclear business value or inadequate risk controls.
