AWS Chatbot now allows you to interact with Amazon Bedrock agents from Microsoft Teams and Slack

AWS Chatbot now enables customers to interact with Amazon Bedrock agents from Slack and Microsoft Teams chat channels.

Prior to today, customers had to implement their own ad-hoc ways to integrate their Bedrock agents with their Microsoft Teams and Slack. They needed to develop custom chat applications and integrate it with Bedrock agents. Now with this launch, they can invoke their Bedrock agents from chat channels by connecting the Bedrock agent alias with an AWS Chatbot channel configuration. Once connected, channel members can start using the agent by tagging the agent such as “@aws ask connector_name_ ...”.

AWS Chatbot support for Amazon Bedrock agents in chat applications is available at no additional cost in all AWS Regions where AWS Chatbot is offered. To learn more, visit the Connect Amazon Bedrock agents documentation page.
