Amazon unveils Nova Act, an AI agent that can control a web browser


Amazon's Nova Act, a new AI model powering components of Alexa+, allows developers to build agentic applications.

Amazon says developers building with the Nova Act SDK should be able to automate basic actions on behalf of users, such as ordering salads from Sweetgreen or making dinner reservations. Nova Act is the first public product to emerge from Amazon’s aforementioned AGI lab, an initiative co-led by former OpenAI researchers David Luan and Pieter Abbeel. Luan says his team designed the Nova Act SDK to reliably automate short, simple tasks, and give developers tools to precisely define when they want a human to intervene in an agentic workflow.
