We’re delighted to announce that Elastic has earned the AWS Agentic AI Specialization, a new category launched within the AWS Generative AI Software Competency. This distinction is awarded by AWS to partners that have developed advanced agentic solutions and helped customers realize significant gains in business efficiency, creativity, and productivity. Elastic earned this status after undergoing a thorough validation process, which included a detailed technical audit of Elastic’s Agentic AI capabilities and a review of customer case studies. We’re proud to be among the initial ISVs recognized with this specialization, supported by the innovation of Elastic Agent Builder.

Our achievement of the Agentic AI Competency is a significant milestone. Elastic's Agentic AI innovations are helping customers build transformative use cases across multiple industries. AWS’s Agentic AI Competency Partners have proven themselves as leaders in using agentic AI technology, such as Amazon Bedrock Agentcore and Amazon Bedrock Inference.

Elastic’s vision: Relevance for agents and the power of context engineering

The evolution and landscape of AI have evolved at a breakneck pace. Our customers employing Elastic's solutions on AWS are benefiting from the scalability and agility of the cloud while maintaining the highest levels of speed and innovation with agentic AI. 

What makes elasticsearch a search, analytics, and AI powerhouse? Datastore; vector database; analytics engine; search engine; and geospatial engine

In the rapidly evolving world of AI, autonomous agents that use tools, retrieve data, and perform multistep tasks are becoming the next frontier. But to make agents reliable, safe, and effective in real-world business settings, you need more than just large language models (LLMs); you also need context. Agents remember, reason, and act, and they must do so with accurate, relevant, and up-to-date information. That’s where Elastic is innovating: we’re aiming to build a compelling long-term memory architecture that agents can rely on through context engineering.

Why context matters for agents

Agents struggle when their context is noisy, incomplete, or overloaded. LLMs on their own are powerful, but they are stateless in a way: they don't natively maintain structured memory across sessions in a way that reliably aligns with enterprise data. Trying to push entire documents or long tool outputs into the prompt leads to context rot and lower accuracy, resulting in hallucinations or incorrect actions.

This is where context engineering comes in handy. It’s the practice of organizing data, retrieval mechanisms, tools, and memory so that agents always operate on the right context. Elastic provides a unified platform that not only stores and searches your data but also delivers the relevance and structure agents need to navigate complex tasks with accuracy.

Elastic Agent Builder brings the full power of context engineering directly into Elasticsearch. Agent Builder provides a complete set of capabilities to significantly simplify the approach to interacting with and building capable, context-aware agents on your organization’s data.

Beyond the default agent, you can compose fully custom agents with your own system instructions, tailored toolsets, and security profiles — all accessible via chat in Kibana or through API, MCP, and A2A integrations. Agent Builder also includes: 

  • Intelligent relevance tools 

  • Visual chat-based data exploration with editable charts 

  • Full agent tracing 

  • Model flexibility across LLM providers 

  • Streamlined path to get started — whether using the native Elastic AI Agent, creating custom tools, configuring agents, or integrating externally via APIs

Elastic Agent Builder empowers teams to create highly capable, context-aware AI assistants. It enables instant conversational access to any data in Elasticsearch through its native chat interface. Intelligent, built-in relevance tools automatically craft optimized semantic, hybrid, or structured queries. Teams can also build custom tools using Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL) for precise control over context, accuracy, and security. 

This makes Agent Builder a context-engineering-first solution. By orchestrating memory, tools, and reasoning in one platform, Agent Builder removes the fragmentation and complexity that slow teams down. Developers can build agents that are accurate, safe, and deeply grounded in their business data faster than ever before. With Agent Builder, any organization can move from experimentation to production-ready agents built on the strongest foundation for relevance

Bet on context engineering

Elastic is making a bold bet that context engineering is the critical foundation for reliable, scalable, long-term memory in agentic AI. With Agent Builder, Elastic Learned Sparse EncodeR (ELSER), Elastic Inference Service, and the strategic Jina AI acquisition, we’re building a unified platform where data, tools, reasoning, and memory come together.

By combining search relevance, embeddings, retrieval, and orchestration in one system, Elastic empowers developers and enterprises to build agents that are not just smart but trustworthy, grounded, and capable of sustained, stateful behavior. The AWS Agentic AI Specialization further validates that this isn’t just conceptual but also production-ready.
