Amazon has introduced Nova Act, a browser AI agent that will surf the web autonomously on your behalf and get meaningful work done.
The next big thing in the field of artificial intelligence is Agentic AI, which is essentially an AI tool that can automate certain multi-step processes for users. For example, interacting with a web browser for tasks like booking tickets or ordering groceries.
Amazon certainly sees a future in there. After giving a massive overhaul to Alexa and introducing a new Alexa+ assistant, the company has today announced a new AI agent called Nova Act. Amazon says Nova Act is designed to “complete tasks in a web browser.” Amazon won’t be the first to reach this milestone, as few other AI companies have already attempted this vision.
OpenAI’s Operator is designed to handle the repetitive and mundane parts of web browsing on users’ behalf, such as filling out forms or placing online orders.
