How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into FreightIQ (Bedrock AgentCore, Claude) or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Read this quote request email, extract the shipment details, fetch rates, and draft a reply for me to approve. Do not send anything yourself.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
