- AWS enters the context layer race with a graph that learns from agents, not manual curation
Building a context layer between enterprise data stores and AI agents is bespoke work, with no standard service to automate or maintain the graphs over time. Amazon is making a direct play to change that. Amazon on Wednesday entered the space, announcing a series of three products it's positioning as a context intelligence stack for AI agents. The centerpiece is AWS Context, a new knowledge graph service that gets smarter through agent usage over time. AWS also announced the general availability of Amazon S3 Annotations and a preview of skill assets in AWS Glue Data Catalog. The context layer is now a contested architectural category with no shortage of options from different vendors. AWS is entering that market with a different architectural premise: that the graph should learn from how agents use it automatically, without human re-curation. "Your agents now get smarter without you having to rebuild anything from scratch," said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of Agentic AI at AWS, during his AWS Summit NYC keynote. "This service automatically builds a knowledge graph from all your existing data," he said. "This service infers relationships across your data sets, business rules, and domain knowledge, and makes all of it available to your agents and your organization at runtime." AWS Context builds a self-learning knowledge graph from existing data It's a problem AWS says it has seen repeatedly in customer deployments. AWS Context maps relationships across existing data automatically: what tables exist, what columns mean, how sources relate and which sources are authoritative. It combines semantic search with graph-level reasoning and infers relationships across datasets, business rules and domain knowledge, making all of it available to agents at runtime. "The knowledge graph improves itself over time as it learns which sources produce correct results and which parts get used," Sivasubramanian said. Data stewards manage the graph through the AWS Management Console, reviewing inferred relationships, promoting them to production and attaching business definitions and usage rules. Every query inherits the calling user's IAM and Lake Formation permissions, making agent data access auditable by identity through controls enterprises already rely on. All metadata is published in Apache Iceberg format to Amazon S3 Tables, queryable via Athena, Redshift, Spark or any Iceberg-compatible engine, with no proprietary APIs. Third-party catalog connections are supported, so context from systems outside AWS can be pulled into the same graph. Agents query through agentic search APIs and MCP tools across Bedrock AgentCore, EKS or any MCP-compatible framework. Context is more than just a single service Context is a complicated space and AWS is layering multiple services to help enterprises build context across the data stack. Amazon S3 Annotations. This service enables users to attach rich business context at the storage layer, directly to individual S3 objects. AWS Glue Data Catalog skill assets . Glue skill assets attach domain knowledge at the catalog layer, linking runbooks, query patterns and usage rules to data assets across the estate. AWS Context then synthesizes both into the knowledge graph that agents query at runtime, combining semantic search with graph-level reasoning across structured and unstructured sources. Each layer feeds the next. AWS is entering a highly competitive context space Snowflake announced its context approach earlier this month with its Horizon Context and Cortex Sense services. Microsoft is providing context via its Fabric IQ platform that provides a semantic ontology for data. Redis has developed a context platform that optimizes data for retrieval. Vector database vendor Pinecone has its Nexus context offering that compiles enterprise data into task-specific artifacts before agents ever query them. AWS's structural argument is straightforward: for enterprises already running S3, Glue and Lake Formation, AWS Context extends an existing identity model with no data movement required. The pitch is zero-integration friction — not just cost consolidation. "Context makes agents more powerful and as the whole world is building agents, every agentic platform vendor needs a context capability," Holger Mueller, VP and Principal analyst at Constellation Research, told VentureBeat. Mueller noted that AWS is no exception. "The concern — as with all context offerings — is going to be performance, especially for transactional data, we will see," he said.

- Adobe: New Firefly Graph can turn creative workflows into reusable assets
Adobe’s Firefly Graph is now available to Creative Cloud customers , offering a node-based workflow tool designed to help business create content at scale with generative AI (genAI). With Firefly Graph, users can connect multiple tools in visual workflow, with each “node” performing a specific task before passing its output to the next node. This gives creative professionals more control over generated outputs , according to Adobe, and makes it easier to try out ideas by swapping, adjusting or adding components. For example, a user could start with a text prompt box that connects to a node that generates an image using an AI model from Adobe or third-parties such as Google and OpenAI. Further along the chain, the user could add nodes to remove a background or upscale an image, for instance, before producing an image, video or other asset ready for use. Changing one aspect, such as adding a reference image or adapting the text prompt, would change the final output. It’s an approach similar to node-based workflow tools such as ComfyUI — a startup valued at $500 million which claims more than 4 million users . Others include Weavy, acquired by Figma last year for a reported $200 million . With so many AI tools available to creative professionals, workflows can get complex and hard to replicate, said Elliot Sedegah, senior product marketing manager at Adobe. Firefly Graph provides access to more than 300 different node types, including images, video editing and AI generation tools across Adobe’s portfolio and third-party tools. “Whether you’re working at a mom-and-pop shop or a larger enterprise, you’re looking for consistency and then bringing that into a workflow so that you’re not hopping in and out of different tools,” he said. “Putting all that together takes massive amount of time, and sometimes it’s very difficult to even know what you did.” Once created, workflows can be shared across an organization as repeatable processes for other individuals or teams to use. “Think of that rock star creative that you have and the recipes they create: those are now canonized as workflows, as assets, that the rest of the organization can take and reuse over and over again,” said Sedegah. In addition, while creative professionals are needed to created high quality assets, reusable workflows can be put into the hands of broader teams to create content for large audiences, said Sedegah. Firefly Graph addresses a challenge that most large creative organizations face, said Lisa Gately, principal analyst at Forrester — namely that their best creative workflows “live inside the heads of a few experts. “Teams can generate images and video with AI, but reproducing the exact sequences of creative decisions, model selections, edits, and refinements that lead to a high-quality result is difficult and inconsistent. Firefly Graph turns those workflows into reusable assets,” she said. While other node-based workflows aim to address similar problems, Adobe’s pitch is that Firefly Graph provides customers with the benefit of integration into its product suite. “Firefly is a full, broader AI creative studio, not just a node-based tool, so [Firefly Graph] is a part of a bigger picture,” said Sedegah. “The strength is having everything in one place with the tools that people know.” “Where Adobe differentiates is in enterprise integration,” said Gately, with Adobe connecting Firefly Graph to a range of other Adobe tools. Those include Creative Cloud applications; Firefly Boards for ideation; and Firefly Creative Production. “The workflow becomes part of a broader content supply chain instead of a standalone creation tool,” she said. ”Organizations committed to other tools are unlikely to migrate for a node-based canvas — making a change is about the broader content supply chain.” Project Firefly is available now to Adobe Creative Cloud for Enterprise subscribers (pricing details were not immediately available), and in a public beta for individual users; the wait list sign up is available here .

- Google Cloud Summit: UK to deploy AI-powered planning system
The UK’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has worked with Google Cloud , Google DeepMind and Faculty – a company recently acquired by Accenture – to improve the planning system. The collaboration on the Augmented Planning Decisions (APD) tool, which uses Google Cloud, is being developed and alpha-tested with local planning authorities in the London Borough of Barnet, Dorset Council and the London Borough of Camden, to help planning officers navigate complex local policies. Speaking about how the Augmented Planning Decisions tool is being used, Naisha Polaine, executive director for growth at Barnet Council, said: “The tool’s ability to collect relevant information, undertake a provisional assessment, and draft the foundations of a report has the potential to save significant officer time spent working on the administration of planning applications and direct this to speeding up the decision-making process for residents. In turn, this will contribute significantly to delivering our housebuilding growth targets in the borough.” The government plans to make the Augmented Planning Decisions tool available to councils nationally from 2027. Lila Ibrahim, chief artificial intelligence (AI) readiness officer at Google DeepMind, said: “The UK has an opportunity to build the homes our communities need, but local councils face a mountain of paperwork. That’s why we’re co-creating a sophisticated planning tool directly with councils to solve real-world bottlenecks. This will help significantly cut decision times, freeing up planners to focus on the future to get Britain building faster.” Alongside the APD, the MHCLG and the Incubator for AI (i.AI) – the UK government’s in-house applied AI team – plan to deploy the internally developed Extract AI tool to all councils across England following a series of successful trials. The AI-powered tool transforms complex geospatial information from static documents into digital, structured formats, which MHCLG says is significantly faster and runs more consistently and at lower cost than traditional manual methods. The UK has an opportunity to build the homes our communities need, but local councils face a mountain of paperwork. That’s why we’re co-creating a sophisticated planning tool directly with councils to solve real-world bottlenecks Lila Ibrahim, Google DeepMind The development of Extract AI, which began with i.AI brainstorming sessions in November 2024, has involved converting paper maps, PDFs and scanned documents into data that can be pushed into the government’s new Planning Data platform. Once the data is in the right format, planning data is then made available to modern planning tools like the open source PlanX system, which is being used by several local authorities. It uses advanced language models, including Google DeepMind’s Gemini , to read and extract text information. Computer vision technology, including Meta’s Segment Anything Model, is also being used to analyse images and maps. The tool works through a two-stage process. It first extracts key details like dates, locations and planning decisions from text. Then it uses what i.AI says is “intelligent image analysis” to trace property boundaries and create accurate digital maps. Extract AI is expected to save the average council around 255 hours of manual work in digesting documents into digital form. Google said Gemini on Google Cloud is enabling the UK government to use the advanced reasoning of the company’s most capable AI models within a protected environment. “This approach allows the government to mitigate risks like prompt injection and ensure that data remains sovereign and secure,” Maureen Costello, vice-president for the UK, Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa at Google Cloud, wrote in a blog post.

Aiming to improve the working lives of emergency personnel facing overwhelming influx of data under immense stress, Motorola Solutions has globally expanded its Assist mission-critical AI product designed for public safety. With an initial focus on Europe, the expansion follows “successful deployments of the product” across US public safety agencies, with the company saying the capability is scaling internationally to bring role-specific intelligence to control room operators, emergency responders and investigators, fundamentally accelerating responses. For control room operators, Assist layers intelligent capabilities directly into the core Motorola Solutions’ control room software to help accelerate emergency response. It automatically identifies, gathers and prioritises vital call information – such as historical incident data at a specific location or critical keywords such as “heart attack”. In a bid to minimise miscommunication and preserve operator focus, Assist supports live transcription to enhance clarity by allowing operators and supervisors to reference earlier interactions, note critical info and capture evidence; call translation to bridge language barriers between operators and callers that can “otherwise add an average of 70 seconds ” to an emergency call; and advanced audio enhancement to filter out background noise so operators can hear clearly. There is also a non-emergency call agent that automatically handles routine calls – which can consume up to 65% of call handlers’ workloads – to allow human operators to focus on critical emergencies. Assisting responders in the field, in particular for officers on the beat, Assist presents a mobile-first digital force multiplier at the edge to help enhance productivity, situational awareness and safety. Among the key field capabilities are accelerated search via a field-based app that scans number plates for faster entry and faster identification via appearance search to match images and videos to photos or text descriptions. Voice-based interaction is intended to allow first responders to remain focused and hands-free by using their voice to initiate commands in-vehicle while driving. The platform also offers technology designed to streamline digital investigations for investigators handling large volumes of evidence. Redaction Assist leverages automated object and speaker tracking within the evidence management workflow, automatically tagging evidence and redacting sensitive subjects and objects to accelerate records documentation and to support privacy. Looking to offer proof of the component’s utility, Motorola reported that a US-based agency said the tool dropped its video redaction times from 35 hours down to one hour . “A call taker is the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to emergencies,” said Casey Allo, chief of emergency communications for Lee County , Florida, a US-based agency using Assist. “Having real-time transcription of the call in front of the call taker, having it translate word for word what the caller is saying, and having it point out keywords you want to flag all point to being more efficient and giving call takers more confidence.” As it continues to expand Assist across its safety and security ecosystem, Motorola Solutions offered assurance that it remained committed to the transparent and responsible deployment of AI, with an Assist emblem indicating when information has been surfaced by AI, so human operators can evaluate and verify the data. In addition, responsible AI product labels detail the type of AI utilised, data ownership, human control mechanisms and the specific purpose of the application for operational transparency. Commenting on the expansion and its aims, Fergus Mayne, vice-president of sales for Europe at Motorola Solutions, said: “By automating routine tasks and surfacing vital insights in real time, Assist cuts through the noise. It reduces the immense cognitive load on front-line teams, empowering them to respond to critical incidents with greater clarity, speed and confidence.” Read more about emergency comms solutions Avaya finds louder voice for mission-critical comms platform : Enterprise software provider unveils mission-critical platform to deliver secure, zero-downtime voice communications for environments including government, healthcare, financial and emergency services.
