Evaluating AI agents: Real-world lessons from building agentic systems at Amazon

Amazon reveals its internal system for testing AI agents that use tools and reason across multiple steps.

Deep Dive

Amazon built a new evaluation framework for its thousands of internal AI agents. The system moves beyond single-model benchmarks to assess multi-step reasoning, tool selection, and task completion in production. It includes a generic workflow and an evaluation library in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. This lets developers systematically test and debug complex agentic systems, moving beyond treating them as black boxes.
