What builders took away

What they left with.

In every sandbox

A sandbox, ready to build

A pre-provisioned AWS sandbox with Claude Code set up inside it, so the build started in minutes, not an hour.

On stage

AgentCore in production

Patterns that hold up and where teams get stuck, plus what just shipped, from AWS.

The build

Over two hours of building

One continuous build block on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, starting from the official AWS workshop.

To finish

Demos, judging and prizes

Teams showed what they built; the winners took home screens and Amazon gift cards.

1 / 4

Who was in the room.

A full room, with a waitlist: engineers and technical founders already building with LLMs.

On stage

Talks, then a build.

Two short talks set up the morning; the rest was building, with the official AWS workshop as the starting point.

30 min

AgentCore in production

Patterns that hold up, and where teams get stuck. Carlos Santini, Assembly.

15 min

What just shipped

Managed harness and AgentCore payments, from AWS.

Workshop

Diving Deep into Bedrock AgentCore

The official AWS workshop, run in pre-provisioned sandbox accounts.

Why we ran it

Why we ran it.

Builders already working with LLMs wanted to get an agent into production, not into another notebook.

AWS Startups invited us to run it with them. The aim: every team leaves with a deployed agent on AgentCore and the code in its own repository, with AWS Solutions Architects at the table.
