The solution uses OpenClaw, an open-source agentic system, running on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore runtime. The example, named Sprout, is a gardening assistant that uses AgentCore memory to store user preferences and facts, allowing it to provide personalized advice without re-explaining context.\n\nThe architecture is serverless and cost-effective, using consumption-based pricing that costs a few dollars a month for light use, compared to roughly $35/month for an always-on EC2 instance. It routes text queries to Claude Haiku 4.5 for speed and cost efficiency, while using Claude Sonnet 4.5 for vision tasks like diagnosing plants from photos. The system integrates with Telegram for user interaction and uses CloudFormation for deployment.\n\nKey features include structured metadata for filtering memories and asynchronous extraction strategies that turn raw chat logs into durable, searchable records. This approach allows developers to create domain-specific assistants, such as fitness coaches or support bots, by swapping the persona and skills manifest while keeping the underlying infrastructure.","keyPoints":["AWS demonstrates building a memory-enabled assistant using OpenClaw on Bedrock AgentCore runtime.","The system uses Claude Haiku 4.5 for text and Claude Sonnet 4.5 for vision tasks.","AgentCore memory stores user preferences and facts, enabling personalized responses across sessions."],"whyItMatters":"This guide provides a practical, low-cost pattern for developers to build stateful AI assistants.
