Amazon Nova

What it is

Amazon Nova covers both a consumer-facing playground and a portfolio of models and services for builders. On nova.amazon.com, people can sign in with an Amazon account to chat, write, generate code and try capabilities such as Nova 2 Lite, the Nova 2 Sonic speech-to-speech model and Nova Act for browser automation agents. Developers can request a free Nova API key to start experimenting, then move to AWS, where Nova models run through Amazon Bedrock with usage-based pricing. AWS also offers Nova Forge for building custom frontier models. Amazon says the technology grew out of work behind its own services, including Alexa+ and Amazon Ads.

Editor's notes

More context from AI BirdView

Amazon Nova gives a direct look at the models Amazon has built for its own products and now offers to everyone. The web app is a low-friction way to compare Nova against other assistants, while developers get a straightforward route from a free API key to full deployment on AWS. Amazon says tens of thousands of customers already use Nova models and services.

Sign in with an existing Amazon account to start chatting right away
Nova 2 Lite is positioned as a fast, cost-effective reasoning model for everyday tasks
Nova Act focuses on reliable agents that automate browser-based workflows
Nova 2 Sonic supports natural, real-time voice conversations
Models include built-in content filters and safety controls for enterprise use

Amazon Nova is best for developers and teams already working in AWS who want to test models before wiring them into Bedrock, as well as curious users comparing assistants. A practical tip: prototype prompts in the free web app first, note which model handles your task best, and only then request an API key so your first AWS experiments start from a tested setup.
