about this event
Every day, people lose hours to small, repetitive tasks like paying bills, scheduling meetings, or filling out the same paperwork again. On their own they're minor, but together they drain real time and attention.
AWS wants to help you change that!
Build an AI agent with the Strands Agents SDK that handles routine and repetitive tasks in the background. Instead of another app people open and manage, the agent runs autonomously and only surfaces when there's a real decision to make. This theme is open to any part of life, from home and work to health, money, errands, and family. Whatever you want to solve, there's a track for it.
Six weeks. One build. We're looking forward to seeing what you create.
