ESP Rainmaker is AI-ready with out of box MCP server and support in the phone apps. The platform supports device provisioning, local and remote control, OTA updates, device management, and cloud monitoring—helping brands create their own ecosystem gateway. 🤖 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐞: 𝐄𝐒𝐏 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 Built on Amazon Bedrock, ESP Private Agents enable multimodal interactions through voice, text, video, and IoT device data. With support for MCP and Skills, developers can build AI agents that better understand user intent and coordinate intelligent device interactions. Together, these technologies form a complete AIoT foundation—from device connectivity and ecosystem management to multimodal interaction, AI-powered decision-making, and device orchestration. Thank you to everyone who visited the Espressif booth and shared ideas with us over the past two days. 🫶 The summit may be over, but we're excited to keep building what's next for AIoT. 🚀 #Espressif #ESP32 #ESP32S31 #ESP32P4 #AWS #AmazonBedrock #Matter #ESPRainMaker #EdgeAI #AIoT #EmbeddedSystems #IoT #RISCV

📢 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐒𝐏𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬? In embedded development, moving from a devkit to a custom board often means dealing with GPIOs, peripherals, displays, buttons, sensors, storage, and other hardware-specific details. A Board Support Package helps keep that board-specific logic organized in a reusable layer, making the application easier to maintain and adapt. In our latest Developer Portal article, we introduce the ESP-BSP Generator — a web tool that helps you create an ESP-IDF BSP component for your custom board starting from an existing Espressif devkit BSP. You can customize pins, peripherals, and features, generate the component, and keep the board definition in JSON for future updates.
