Although there’s an assumption that enterprises are big enough to build things themselves, they want more plug-and-play than AWS imagines, Fersht said: “They do not want to engineer everything from scratch. They want reusable agent blueprints that map to sales, service, IT operations, and supply chain tasks.”
In fact, if AWS wants to compete with rivals to become the default agent platform for enterprises, it must hide complexity behind higher-level abstractions and simplify its agent stack, double down on workflow level agents, and give customers clear guidance on safe deployment, accountability, and ROI, he said.

Like other hyperscalers, AWS is aggressively experimenting in the vibe coding and agentic IDE space, where there’s no clear consensus on what developers actually want, according to Fersht.
