Amazon Web Services has added three agentic AI categories to its AI Competency programme for partners, which was previously called the AWS Generative AI Competency, AWS said in a blog post on 30 November 2025.
The new categories are Agentic AI Applications, Agentic AI Tools and Agentic AI Consulting Services. They recognise software and services partners with expertise in building enterprise AI systems that understand context, reason over goals and act with minimal human intervention.
AWS said it is its largest specialisation launch to date, with 60 launch partners. Partners named in the announcement include Accenture, Anthropic, Databricks, Deloitte, IBM, Snowflake and Zscaler.
The launch also brings an automated validation process that AWS said cuts application time by up to 70%.
AWS cited IDC data showing that 23% of organisations expect full deployment of agentic AI within 12 months and 65% expect it by 2027. The aim is to help customers find validated partners for production agent systems.
