Topsoil: private AI, built on the bedrock of your AWS account

Topsoil is a private AI coding agent for Amazon Bedrock and AWS GovCloud (US). Model calls go to the Bedrock or customer-gateway endpoint you configure, under the AWS account, region, network and IAM controls you already operate — with no vendor-operated control plane, telemetry stream or prompt store.

  • Choose from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, Amazon Nova and Meta Llama, available through Amazon Bedrock in your account and region
  • Governed by default: plan mode is read-only until approval, every edit arrives as a diff, and work comes back as a pull request for a person to review
  • Terminal, VS Code and desktop app — in commercial AWS or AWS GovCloud (US)
