Agents That Write Their Own Tools at Runtime — Sandhya Subramani, AWS

Why watch

Senior Developer Advocate Sandhya Subramani demonstrates the Strands Agents SDK's meta-tooling capabilities, where agents dynamically write, load, and execute their own tools at runtime without restarting. The talk covers agentic patterns (swarm, graph, handoff, workflow), building sub-agents for complex tasks like travel planning, and the critical evals and guardrails needed before deploying self-modifying agents in production. For developers building autonomous AI systems who want to understand how agents can extend themselves beyond pre-defined toolkits.
