AWS Bets Big on "Agentic AI": How Matt Garman Is Reshaping the Cloud Giant

AWS is undertaking a massive strategic pivot, moving beyond standard generative AI to focus on "Agentic AI"—autonomous software capable of planning and executing complex tasks. Under CEO Matt Garman, the cloud giant has overhauled its product leadership, including hiring former Microsoft Teams founder Jigar Thakkar to lead the new "Amazon Quick Suite." This "big agent bet" focuses on deploying "Frontier Agents" like Kiro and the AWS Security Agent, which function as digital teammates to automate enterprise workflows, signaling a shift from simple chatbots to outcome-driven automation.
