You arrive with an idea and leave with a deployed agent. In this hands-on workshop you build one customer service agent with the open-source Strands Agents SDK across seven progressive modules: the agent loop and tools, hooks, skills and steering, session managers, multi-agent collaboration, and evals. Then you take it to production on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, serverless with session isolation, and leave with a working endpoint, the full repo, and a self-paced version to keep going.

What you'll learn:
• A working agent harness built with Strands Agents: agent loop, custom tools, hooks, skills, and session managers
• A live production endpoint on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime that you deployed yourself
• The observe-break-fix workflow: tracing an agent, breaking it on purpose, and repairing it from the trace data
• The full workshop repo plus a self-paced AWS Workshop Studio version to re-run everything
