    Retrofit, don’t rebuild: Agentic overlays for transforming legacy enterprise services
    In this technical collaboration between AWS and the authors, we present a pragmatic solution: agentic overlays. Agentic overlays are thin wrapper layers that transform traditional REST-based services into agents capable of participating in A2A interactions. They also expose REST APIs as tools compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Together, they let enterprises add A2A capabilities to existing REST services without rewriting business logic, without duplicating code, and without running parallel infrastructures. This reduces agent sprawl in the infrastructure by reusing existing services as agents. We provide reference architectures and sample code that show how to build agentic overlays.  ( 117 min )

    Build a healthcare appointment agent with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic
    In this post, you will learn how to build a voice agent that handles appointment reminder conversations using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The agent authenticates patients by voice, manages appointments (confirm, cancel, or reschedule), collects pre-visit health information, and escalates to human staff when needed. You handle routine calls at scale, which can help reduce no-show rates. This sample focuses on the agentic side of the problem: voice conversation and tool orchestration. A browser-based interface is included for testing. To connect the agent to actual phone lines for outbound dialing, you would integrate a telephony service such as Amazon Connect Customer.  ( 114 min )
