Amazon has launched Nova Act, a general-purpose AI agent that enhances web browsing by performing tasks independently. Developed in its new San Francisco AGI lab, the agent supports a forthcoming Alexa+ upgrade, marking Amazon's entry into AI agent technology competition against OpenAI and Anthropic. The Nova Act SDK provides developers tools to automate simple user tasks such as ordering food or making reservations. Internal tests indicate Nova Act outperforms competitors on certain metrics, though its broader effectiveness remains to be seen.
Nova Act is Amazon's attempt to take on OpenAI's Operator and Anthropic's Computer Use, presenting its own general-purpose AI agent technology.
The Nova Act toolkit allows developers to automate basic user actions like ordering food or making reservations, enhancing user experience with web navigation.
Amazon claims Nova Act outperformed its competitors in internal tests, scoring 94% on ScreenSpot Web Text, demonstrating significant interaction capabilities.
Although it's a research preview, Nova Act aims to expand the capabilities of Alexa and enhance the functionality of AI agents across applications.
