Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 0 of the 178 other AI agents we grade
Amazon Nova Act is an AWS service for building and running agents that automate browser-based workflows, using natural language mixed with Python code. It runs on a custom Nova 2 Lite model and connects to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, CloudWatch and IAM. It is billed by agent hour.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Amazon Nova Act, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Each parallel agent is billed on its own.
- 1
Best for browser agents on AWS, by the hour
It needs an AWS account and code, and the documentation lists one supported AWS Region.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at $4.75 per agent hour, pay as you go.
- 3
It runs on Web
Web.
- 4
Natural language plus Python
Each act() call passes a plain-language task to the model inside a session, and the surrounding script is ordinary Python.
- 5
Browser workflow automation
Listed uses include data entry into web forms, extracting fields from sites and dashboards, and running QA test cases in the browser.
- 6
Human-in-the-loop
An agent can escalate to a human supervisor when appropriate, and the waiting time is not billed.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 0 of 178
That is against the other AI agents we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace Amazon Nova Act you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for browser agents on AWS, by the hour
Nova Act automates browser workflows with natural language and Python, billed at $4.75 per agent hour. It needs an AWS account and code, and the documentation lists one supported AWS Region. Each parallel agent is billed on its own.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $4.75 per agent hour, pay as you go. It is a usage price with no plan to line up against the category's $24 middle, so cost follows how long workflows run. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed. Billing is by agent hour from the start. |
| Features | C | Natural language plus Python, browser automation, human-in-the-loop, tools and APIs, AWS deployment and monitoring. It covers browser work only. |
| Ease of use | D | No store rating on record. You need an AWS account and write code; no no-code builder was found on the pages read. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | AWS service with Bedrock AgentCore, CloudWatch and IAM listed, but one Region only. No desktop or phone app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Amazon Nova Act is for
- Fits if you already build on AWS and write Python
- Works for developers who want browser tasks that can hand off to a human
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want no-code, as it needs code and an AWS account
- Watch out: the documentation lists a single supported Region, US East (N. Virginia)
- Pricey if you run many agents: each parallel agent is billed on its own at $4.75 an hour
- Skip it if you want a free try, as none is listed
Good to know
Good for
- Developers automating web UIs that offer no API
- AWS teams that want agents under IAM and CloudWatch
- QA teams testing full user journeys in the browser
Worth knowing
- The documentation lists a single supported AWS Region, US East (N. Virginia).
- Billing is by agent hour, so cost depends on how long workflows run; each parallel agent is billed on its own.
- It needs an AWS account and code; there is no no-code builder on the pages read.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Amazon Nova Act you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 149 of the 178 other AI agents grade higher.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Amazon Nova Act’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
