Agentic engineering intelligence with Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This post describes a multi-agent engineering assistant built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Nova Multimodal Embeddings, and the open source Strands Agents SDK that assembles evidence for aerospace part substitution decisions. A planner routes queries to Catalog, Evaluation, and Knowledge specialists, with deterministic Python tolerance-rule scoring, Nova Multimodal Embeddings for multimodal retrieval and photo cosine similarity, and a supervisor that synthesizes results only when multiple specialists contribute. The engineer remains the decision-maker, and the system drafts justification memos and Integration Impact Assessments with audit trail entries aligned with AS9100 sections 8.4 and 8.5.6.
