_Amazon Bedrock Agents Runtime offers you the ability to run autonomous agents in your application._

## ⚠ Important

* Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account. For more details, see [AWS Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/) and [Free Tier](https://aws.amazon.com/free/).
* Running the tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
* We recommend that you grant your code least privilege. At most, grant only the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see [Grant least privilege](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html#grant-least-privilege).
* This code is not tested in every AWS Region. For more information, see [AWS Regional Services](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services).

#### Learn the basics

This example shows you how to use InvokeFlow to converse with an Amazon Bedrock flow that includes an agent node.


<!--custom.basic_prereqs.bedrock-agent-runtime_Scenario_ConverseWithFlow.start-->
<!--custom.basic_prereqs.bedrock-agent-runtime_Scenario_ConverseWithFlow.end-->

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

```
python flows/flow-conversation.py
```


<!--custom.basics.bedrock-agent-runtime_Scenario_ConverseWithFlow.start-->
<!--custom.basics.bedrock-agent-runtime_Scenario_ConverseWithFlow.end-->


#### Create and invoke a flow

This example shows you how to do the following:

- Create an execution role for the flow.
- Create the flow.
- Deploy the fully configured flow.
- Invoke the flow with user-provided prompts.
- Delete all created resources.

<!--custom.scenario_prereqs.bedrock-agent_GettingStartedWithBedrockFlows.start-->
<!--custom.scenario_prereqs.bedrock-agent_GettingStartedWithBedrockFlows.end-->

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

```
python ../bedrock-agent/flows/playlist_flow.py
```


<!--custom.scenarios.bedrock-agent_GettingStartedWithBedrockFlows.start-->
<!--custom.scenarios.bedrock-agent_GettingStartedWithBedrockFlows.end-->

### Tests

⚠ Running tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
