ShipStation Global built Deckhand, an AI IT help desk agent that lives inside Slack: it answers questions from a curated knowledge base, reads screenshots of error messages, and files Jira tickets — all on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, with no servers to manage. The results sound spectacular: 97.5% of channel queries resolved, 1,600 hours saved a year.
