An S3 file arrival can trigger an agent job that analyzes the document, requests approval through an ask_human tool, and resumes afterward. This pattern helps teams automate event-driven work without removing human review.

What: Ambient agents start work from infrastructure events rather than waiting for a user to open a chat and prompt them.
How: AgentCore Runtime hosts long-running sessions; agents can pause through ask_human for approval or clarification, then resume after a reply.
Why it matters: Event-driven agents can handle signals while involving people when needed, connecting automated workflows to human oversight.
