Amazon Nova ActAmazon's AI agent SDK for automating browser-based tasks and workflows

4.8 (5)

Reviewed by Daniel Nikulshyn·Updated July 2026

Overview

Amazon Nova Act is a research model and SDK from Amazon's AGI lab designed to perform actions inside a web browser on a user's behalf. Developers can use it to script reliable agents that navigate websites, fill out forms, click through interfaces, and complete multi-step online tasks without constant human supervision. The tool focuses on breaking complex workflows into smaller, testable instructions, giving developers more control and predictability than a single open-ended prompt. It is aimed at use cases like data collection, order processing, internal tool automation, and integrating browser actions into larger AI agent pipelines.

Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Natural language instructions for UI actions is exactly what I needed, and developer SDK allows fine-grained control. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: integration with broader agent systems and built specifically for reliable browser automation. On balance the feature set — especially support for chaining actions into workflows — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and developer SDK allows fine-grained control. Integration with broader agent systems fits neatly into how we already work, and support for chaining actions into workflows removed a step we used to do by hand. but it has held up under daily use.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is headless and visible browser execution — handled better than most — and developer SDK allows fine-grained control. May struggle with highly dynamic or protected sites is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Integration with broader agent systems just works and developer SDK allows fine-grained control. Requires coding to use effectively can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Q&A

What are the main limitations of this research preview?

Current stability is limited, it may struggle with highly dynamic or protected sites, and it requires coding expertise to set up and use effectively.

Asked by Lindiwe Mahlangu · Aug 22, 2025

Can Nova Act run both headless and visible browsers?

Yes, it supports headless execution for background automation as well as visible browser runs for debugging and development.

Asked by Oksana Melnyk · Aug 20, 2025

What programming language is required to use Nova Act?

The SDK is available in Python, so developers need Python knowledge to script and integrate browser agents into their workflows.

Asked by Fatima Zahra · Jul 24, 2025

How does Amazon Nova Act handle complex browser workflows?

It breaks them into smaller, testable instructions, allowing developers to build step-by-step scripts that navigate sites, fill forms, and click interfaces with higher predictability.
