- 6The New Stack·9/15/2026researchOpenAI chief argues for simpler AI computer use over more connectors
OpenAI president Greg Brockman said AI should be able to use a computer more like a human, reducing the need for purpose-built integrations such as MCP servers, CLIs, and APIs. He argued this approach could simplify agent workflows, while other companies like AWS continue expanding connector infrastructure for agents.
- 7The New Stack·9/15/2026framework_updateAWS lets agents propose airline rebookings while code validates payment and reservation changes
AWS introduced a new Step Functions pattern for airline rebooking that lets Bedrock AgentCore agents suggest alternative itineraries and draft compensation messages after disruptions. Deterministic workflow steps then validate those proposals before any reservation update or payment is executed, keeping agents away from direct financial actions. AWS also highlighted code execution as a way to give agents a compute environment for calculation and verification in a related Abnormal AI case study.
- 6InfoQ·8/19/2026product_launchAWS Adds Persistent Compute to Bedrock AgentCore
Amazon Web Services has extended Bedrock AgentCore with runtime instances, a new compute option designed for AI agents that need persistent infrastructure. The update targets complex long-running workflows and coordination across multiple agents.
- 7The New Stack·8/6/2026framework_updateAWS launches Dogwood for policy control over AI agent tool sequences
AWS has released Dogwood, an open-source policy language and reference interpreter designed to govern sequences of AI agent tool calls rather than isolated actions. It is also adding Dogwood support to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Policy, extending AWS’s policy-based controls with temporal rules for prerequisites, rate limits, and ordering.
- 7The New Stack·7/20/2026product_launchCloud Giants Converge on a Common Enterprise Agent Stack
Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have each introduced or renamed enterprise agent platforms that now share the same core building blocks: runtime, memory, tool access, identity, observability, and governance. The article argues this looks like an emerging platform layer for production agents, similar to how PaaS standardized application deployment, though no open-source project has yet defined a shared contract.
- 6InfoQ·7/20/2026open_sourceAWS launches Loom, an open-source platform for governing AI agents
AWS has released Loom, an open-source reference platform on AWS Labs for governing AI agents at enterprise scale. It is built on Strands Agents and Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, and demonstrates RFC 8693 token exchange, config-driven deployment, and mandatory tagging for identity propagation and control.
- 6The New Stack·6/25/2026product_launchAmazon Bedrock Data Automation targets unstructured data extraction
The article explains how template-based document extraction is becoming unreliable as businesses increasingly work with PDFs, images, audio, and video. It introduces Amazon Bedrock Data Automation, a managed AWS service that uses foundation models to automate extraction, classification, and transformation with standard outputs and custom blueprints.
