What is it?
Bedrock Engineer is a native desktop application that runs an autonomous AI agent on Amazon Bedrock models such as Claude, Amazon Nova and Meta Llama. Agents can be given a custom name, system prompt and a chosen set of tools, so the same app serves software development as well as other tasks.
The built-in tools cover file system operations, command execution with an allow-list, Tavily-based web search and fetching, a Python code interpreter running in Docker, image and video generation through Bedrock and Nova Reel, and access to Bedrock Knowledge Bases, Agents and Flows. Extra features include MCP client integration, scheduled background agents, a shared agent directory, Nova Sonic voice chat, and generators for websites, AWS Step Functions definitions and AWS architecture diagrams.
The app is optimized for macOS and can be built for Windows and Linux from source. It requires your own AWS credentials and Bedrock model access.
Key features
- 01Autonomous agents with custom system prompts and per-agent tool selection.
- 02File system tools for reading, writing, moving and copying files, including Excel-to-CSV conversion.
- 03Command execution limited to registered, allowed commands.
- 04Python code interpreter in an isolated Docker environment with no internet access.
- 05Image and video generation through Amazon Bedrock and Nova Reel, plus Knowledge Base retrieval.
Use cases
- Delegating coding tasks such as creating projects, editing files and analyzing code.
- Running data analysis and visualization in a sandboxed Python environment.
- Building websites or AWS architecture diagrams from natural language descriptions.
- Running scheduled AI tasks and querying internal knowledge bases on AWS.
Quick start
- 1
Download the latest release for your OS, or build from source
- 2
Install the npm modules
npm ci - 3
Build the application package for macOS (use build:win or build:linux on other systems)

Things to know
- It is optimized for macOS, while Windows and Linux builds are less tested.
- The macOS install requires running an extra ad-hoc codesign command for the app to work correctly.
- Using it requires AWS credentials with access to Amazon Bedrock.
