The combination of Amazon Quick and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore turns supply chain data from systems such as ERP, monitoring, and procurement into a conversational MCP tool layer, so users can get cross-system answers in natural language. In the example, a TechComp production stoppage event is assessed via assess_disruption_impact, which finds a $750K risk, 23 orders, and three days of inventory, and recommend_mitigation then chains together governance and quoting tools to generate an emergency RFQ. All changes require approval from designated personnel, and the same workflow can also be triggered to run automatically on a schedule or by email.

Dell Global CTO and Chief AI Officer John Roese said that if enterprises merely deploy AI agents without changing their operating model, they will only be running their business the old way, resulting in a poor experience. Dell has spent nearly two years running fully autonomous agents internally, by having domain experts encode company practices into machine-readable Markdown skill files so that the agents work according to Dell's rules and preferences. Roese emphasized that an enterprise's moat is not the tools or even the models, but this proprietary knowledge, which should therefore stay in-house rather than be handed over to third parties.
