Course Overview
This one-day hackathon challenges participants to build a sophisticated, multi-agent AI system for a fictional newspaper agency. The goal is to automate the article-writing process, from initial topic entry to final content moderation, by leveraging the enterprise-grade services of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The event focuses on accelerating the journey from a prototype to a production-ready system by moving beyond manual infrastructure setup and leveraging purpose-built, serverless services for secure and scalable agent deployment.
Prerequisites
- General Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python is recommended, as many AI frameworks and tools are Python-based.
- Basic Understanding of AWS: Familiarity with core AWS concepts, such as IAM permissions and the console, will be helpful.
- Fundamental AI Concepts: A basic grasp of large language models (LLMs) and the concepts of prompt engineering is beneficial.
Course Objectives
By the end of the hack, participants will be able to:
- Deploy AI agents securely and at scale using the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime.
- Create and integrate agent tools from existing APIs and Lambda functions using the managed AgentCore Gateway.
- Design and orchestrate multi-agent systems where specialized agents collaborate to achieve a complex goal.
- Leverage Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with a Bedrock Knowledge Base to provide agents with up-to-date and external data sources.
- Accelerate development and deployment from prototype to production by leveraging automated tools and managed services.
