Amazon on Monday unveiled Nova Act, a general-purpose AI agent that can take control of a web browser and independently perform some simple actions. Alongside the new agentic AI model, Amazon is releasing the Nova Act SDK, a toolkit that allows developers to build agent prototypes with Nova Act. Nova Act, developed by Amazon’s recently opened San Francisco-based AGI lab, will also power key features of the company’s upcoming Alexa+ upgrade, a generative AI-enhanced version of Amazon’s popular voice assistant. The version of Nova Act available starting today is a little less polished, however. Amazon is calling it a research preview. Developers can access the Nova Act toolkit on a new website, nova.amazon.com, which also serves as a showcase for Amazon’s various Nova foundation models. Nova Act is Amazon’s attempt to take on OpenAI’s Operator and Anthropic’s Computer Use with general-purpose AI agent technology of its own. Several leading tech companies believe AI agents that can navigate the web for users will make today’s AI chatbots significantly more useful.
