AWS Strands Agents

Strands Agents is an open-source Python and TypeScript SDK developed from production agent systems inside AWS. Its model-driven approach lets the model plan, use tools, and reflect while developers control providers, hooks, safety boundaries, and deployment.

Key features

• Works with Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, and other providers
• Python and TypeScript SDKs
• Tool use, multi-agent patterns, hooks, and observability
• Local development through production deployment
