Note

When using the Nova Act Playground and/or choosing Nova Act developer tools with API key authentication, access and use are subject to the nova.amazon.com Terms of Use. When choosing Nova Act developer tools with AWS IAM authentication and/or deploying workflows to the Nova Act AWS service, your AWS Service Terms and/or Customer Agreement (or other agreement governing your use of the AWS service) apply.

Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Explore Nova Act in the playground

Start by exploring Nova Act capabilities in the web playground—no setup or AWS account required. Test natural language commands, watch the agent execute actions, and when ready, download Python scripts for local development.

Step 2: Develop locally

Develop and debug workflows in your IDE such as Visual Studio Code, Cursor, and Kiro using the Nova Act extension. Choose API key authentication for quick experimentation, or AWS IAM authentication when you’re ready for production development.

Step 3: Deploy to AWS

Deploy your workflows to AWS using the IDE extension’s one-click deployment, or use the CDK deployment examples in the Nova Act repository to build production infrastructure tailored to your organization’s needs.

Step 4: Review your workflow runs in the Nova Act AWS console

Monitor your deployed workflows in the Nova Act AWS console to track execution, view detailed traces, and troubleshoot issues.
