Announcing TypeScript Support in Strands Agents Preview

In May, we open sourced the Strands Agents SDK, an open source python framework that takes a model-driven approach to building and running AI agents in just a few lines of code. Today, we’re announcing that TypeScript support is available in preview. Now, developers can choose between Python and TypeScript for building Strands Agents.

TypeScript support in Strands has been designed to provide an idiomatic TypeScript experience with full type safety, async/await support, and modern JavaScript/TypeScript patterns. Strands can be easily run in client applications, in browsers, and server-side applications in runtimes like AWS Lambda and Bedrock AgentCore. Developers can also build their entire stack in Typescript using the AWS CDK.

We’re also announcing three additional updates for the Strands SDK. First, edge device support for Strands Agents is generally available, extending the SDK with bidirectional streaming and additional local model providers like llama.cpp that let you run agents on small-scale devices using local models. Second, Strands steering is now available as an experimental feature, giving developers a modular prompting mechanism that provides feedback to the agent at the right moment in its lifecycle, steering agents toward a desired outcome without rigid workflows. Finally, Strands evaluations is available in preview. Evaluations gives developers the ability to systematically validate agent behavior, measure improvements, and deploy with confidence during development cycles.

Head to the Strands Agents GitHub to get started building.
