Agentic Alexa

Agentic Alexa is a personal assistant prototype operated by Amazon. When a person asks it to look at a website or to act on one for them (a shop's own price or opening hours, a product registration, a booking), it opens those pages in a cloud browser, one person and one task at a time, while they wait or on a schedule they set.

What it does not do

• It does not crawl, index or scrape sites.
• It does not use pages to train models, and keeps only what the person asked for.
• It does not solve CAPTCHAs or try to get past bot checks: a page that refuses it is left, and the person is told.

How it identifies itself

Its requests are signed with HTTP Message Signatures (Web Bot Auth), with Signature-Agent: "https://london-science.rufus.amazon.dev", and the key is published at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory. Its browser's user agent names Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser and, on every request signed with this key, AgenticAlexa.
