Discover what’s new when building AI agents with Strands Agents SDK.

Arron Bailiss and Murat Kaan Meral from the Strands team join Julian Wood to walk through three major updates to Strands Agents. See how the new context management compresses and offloads large tool results to reduce costs while improving accuracy. Learn how Strands Shell gives your agents safe access to filesystems and APIs without exposing credentials or your laptop. And discover how Strands Evals 1.0 lets you inject failures, test adversarial scenarios, and find the breaks before production does.

We are also available to answer any of your serverless questions.
