## About

Amazon Nova is a portfolio of AI offerings from Amazon Web Services. It includes Nova models, which are foundation models for text and multimodal tasks, along with Nova Forge, a service for building your own frontier models, and Nova Act, a service for building agents that automate browser-based UI workflows.

The page says the Nova technology was originally developed for Amazon's internal applications, such as Alexa+, Amazon Ads, AWS Marketplace and Amazon Stores, and is now available to AWS customers as Nova models and services.

Nova Act is a service to build, deploy and manage fleets of AI agents that automate production UI workflows. The page describes it as offering high reliability and ease of implementation at scale.

Nova Forge lets organizations build their own frontier model using Nova, without training one from scratch. The page says organizations of all sizes can use it.

Nova models are described as offering frontier intelligence and price-performance, with customization capabilities so organizations can tailor responses. The What's new section lists Nova 2 Lite, a reasoning model for everyday tasks, and Nova 2 Sonic, a speech-to-speech model for conversational AI.

The page says the models are built for enterprise scale, with high performance, predictable latency and multimodal capabilities. It also lists built-in controls such as content filters and policy-aligned behaviour for safe and responsible use.

The product is aimed at businesses and developers building AI into their products and operations. The page points to AWS customers as the users, and says tens of thousands of customers across industries have adopted it.

Pricing is not stated on the Nova page itself. The AWS pricing page describes a pay-as-you-go approach for most AWS services, with no long-term contracts. The Nova page says new AWS customers receive up to $200 in AWS credits to try AWS AI for free.
