Build Reliable AI Browser Automations with Amazon Nova Act

This course offers a practical, in-depth introduction to Amazon Nova Act, an AI-driven toolkit for building reliable browser automation agents. You’ll explore how Nova Act works, its core architecture, and why it excels at handling complex, multi-step web interactions with high reliability.

Through hands-on Python examples, you’ll learn to automate real-world browser tasks, implement robust error handling, and manage challenges like timeouts, pop-ups, and CAPTCHAs. The course also covers scaling automations using parallel agents, headless execution, and AWS integrations such as AgentCore.

By the end, you’ll know how to extend Nova Act with data extraction, authentication management, Playwright controls, and CI/CD or service integrations - along with best practices, limitations, and security considerations to confidently apply Nova Act in production environments.

You’ll access learning content and practical activities online through Amazon Web Services (AWS), alongside your FutureLearn course experience, giving you direct access to AWS learning as you progress.
