Amazon Nova is a new generation of foundation models with frontier intelligence and industry leading price performance. Generate text, code, and images with natural language prompts.
Amazon just launched Nova Act! An AI agent platform built for reliability.
It focuses on practical use cases like form filling, QA testing, and other repetitive browser workflows.
Instead of copying clicks, Nova Act uses reinforcement learning in simulated environments, so agents adapt when layouts or logic change.
With IDE extensions, CloudWatch, and AWS deployment, it looks like a serious toolkit for developers building production-ready agents.
I wonder, how does this compare to other RPA tools that mostly rely on click recordings?
Impressive launch, Nova Act team. From a clarity lens: when a developer opens the SDK for the first time, what’s the one belief you want them to hold in the first 10-15 seconds? Is it “I can reliably automate browser workflows without brittle scripts” or “I have control of an agent that acts like a human user, not just a bot”? Because in agent-automation tools, the biggest barrier isn’t necessarily tech capability—it’s the user’s belief that the tool will actually work at scale.
For me Amazon is unfortunately a bit slow in the AI race and just trying to catch up with others. I also personally don't like the Nova models of Amazon. But at least they are trying hard here to get our attention, so I will try it out and maybe give my opinion about the Nova Act here on PH soon
