Architecture

Two AI agents were built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The Commuting Allowance Agent runs sub-agents on separate AgentCore Runtime instances with Amazon Cognito and AWS Fargate for authentication and authorization. The Browser Operation Agent uses Strands Agents, a knowledge base, Amazon S3, and fixed-IP VPC access via a NAT gateway. The workflow also uses Amazon Bedrock prompt caching and AgentCore Observability.
