Inspiration

We wanted to turn endless scrolling into something meaningful - a beautiful, personalized magazine that you can create for yourself or gift to your family. Imagine a weekend magazine for your daughter, filled with her favorite science stories, or a digest for your parents, printed and delivered monthly.


What it does

Magzie transforms any combination of RSS feeds, blogs, and newsletters into a custom magazine - digital or printed. Users define fonts, age group, color palette, and categories, then Magzie’s AI editor automatically curates and designs full issues that feel human-made.


How we built it

Magzie uses the Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Browser Tool to intelligently read and analyze web pages. Each issue is built page by page:

  • AgentCore captures structured screenshots and extracts article layouts.
  • AI models refine the content - adjusting length, structure, or adding missing sections.
  • Gemini 2.5 Flash (nano banana) generates higher-quality or stylistically consistent images to replace low-resolution RSS thumbnails.

When you generate a magazine issue then Magzie will run the AgentCore Browser Tool and Bedrock AI model in a optimization loop:

  1. Generates screenshots of each article
  2. Assess if changes are needed. For example should the text be longer or shorter or if something is missing.
  3. If changes are needed, AI generates new text based on the target group and instructions

Challenges we ran into

Magazine layout is an inherently nonlinear problem - every piece (image, headline, paragraph) affects the others. Manual tools couldn’t solve it; AI had to act as the editor. Coordinating the Browser Tool, AI generation, and layout logic was technically complex but crucial for quality.


Accomplishments that we're proud of

We built a working AI magazine editor that designs coherent, multi-page issues from live online content - no templates, no human designer required. It’s the first system that uses AgentCore in a truly creative workflow.


What we learned

AgentCore is incredibly powerful for web-based content automation. It gave us browser-level precision for AI editing and layout optimization. We also learned how to blend content curation, AI design, and emotional storytelling into a single experience.


What's next for Magzie

  • Refine the layout intelligence and personalization.
  • Integrate Stripe for subscriptions and gifting.
  • Add printing and delivery - weekly or monthly, just like real magazines.
