Generative AI platform
Amazon Bedrock Flows
Builds and runs visual generative AI workflows using models, prompts, knowledge bases, agents, and AWS services.
Key points
- Provides a visual way to compose generative AI workflow steps.
- Can connect prompts, foundation models, Knowledge Bases, Agents, and supported AWS integrations.
- Supports branching and orchestration for repeatable AI workflows.
- Helps builders assemble applications without hand-coding every orchestration step.
- Runs within the Bedrock ecosystem rather than as a general-purpose workflow service.
When to use it
- Choose Flows when a generative AI process has multiple steps that should be visually composed.
- Use it for repeatable workflows such as retrieve, summarize, classify, and route.
- Use it when teams need to combine Bedrock components into an application flow.
Exam tips
- Flows visually orchestrate Bedrock components; Agents autonomously decide actions for a user request.
- Do not confuse Bedrock Flows with AWS Step Functions, which is a general workflow orchestration service.
- Use Knowledge Bases within a flow when external context is needed.
- Use Prompt Management when the main issue is prompt reuse and versioning rather than workflow composition.
