What each one is

The product in its own terms, so the numbers below have context.

Amazon Bedrock Agents

A managed platform for building and deploying AI agents that break down multi-step requests, retrieve information from knowledge bases and data sources, and execute tasks autonomously. Agents use foundation model reasoning to understand intent, gather relevant context, and coordinate actions across company systems.

Independently observed

smolagents

An open-source framework that enables you to create AI agents in just a few lines of code. It provides two agent types: CodeAgents that write actions as Python code, and ToolCallingAgents for JSON/text-based tool invocation. Supports any LLM provider and sandboxed code execution.
