Amazon OpenSearch Service introduces Agentic Search

Amazon OpenSearch Service launches Agentic Search, transforming how users interact with their data through intelligent, agent-driven search. Agentic Search introduces an intelligent agent-driven system that understands user intent, orchestrates the right set of tools, generates OpenSearch DSL (domain-specific language) queries, and provides transparent summaries of its decision-making process through a simple 'agentic' query clause and natural language search terms. Agentic Search automates OpenSearch query planning and execution, eliminating the need for complex search syntax. Users can ask questions in natural language like "Find red cars under $30,000" or "Show last quarter's sales trends." The agent interprets intent, applies optimal search strategies, and delivers results while explaining its reasoning process. The feature provides two agent types: conversational agents, which handle complex interactions with the ability to store conversations in memory, and flow agents for efficient query processing. The built-in QueryPlanningTool uses large language models (LLMs) to create DSL queries, making search accessible regardless of technical expertise. Users can manage Agentic Search through APIs or OpenSearch Dashboards to configure and modify agents. Agentic Search’s advanced settings allow you to connect with external MCP servers and use custom search templates. Support for agentic search is available for OpenSearch Service version 3.3 and later in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions where OpenSearch Service is available. See [here](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) for a full listing of our Regions. Build agents and run agentic searches using the new Agentic Search use case available in the [AI Search Flows plugin](https://docs.opensearch.org/latest/vector-search/ai-search/building-agentic-search-flows/).
