Amazon Web Services is rolling out a pair of agentic AI products designed to help companies manage supply chain disruptions and conduct interviews. 

GeekWire reports that the two products — Connect Decisions and Connect Talent — draw on Amazon's own internal supply chain data and hiring processes. Connect Decisions was designed to identify demand spikes or supplier issues, determine what requires human attention, and then offer advice on how to move forward. Connect Talent uses AI agents to conduct voice interviews that job candidates can schedule at any time. Both offerings are part of AWS's Connect line of business tools that first launched in 2017.

Speaking to GeekWire, AWS senior VP of applied AI solutions Colleen Aubrey said that early adopters of Connect Decisions have started to use the technology to run what-if scenarios in meetings, and that at least one procurement team has asked to expand its use beyond supply chain planning. The company is also already offering free trials of the application.

On its website, AWS advertises Connect Talent as a way to help recruiters assess job candidates faster, and give applicants more scheduling flexibility. The application also tests candidates based on problem-solving, logic, listening, and job-specific skills, before generating scores that recruiters can assess themselves.
